A friend told me about someone who was “in love with me.” I decided to give him a chance. Within two weeks, he started calling me three times a day. Next, he said he was “depressed for no reason.” After a month of dating, I ended things. He preceded to tell me how he did his “homework” before asking me out. He said he asked old high school acquaintances about me for three months! I asked, confused, “you’ve been asking people about me for three months? Knowing everything about me?” He said yes, casually.

Aftermath: He never contacted me again. Thank goodness he had a little respect for himself.

He broke up with me for a coworker, and she told me how deeply in love they were and there were no pics of them on Facebook because they wanted to keep it secret from their colleagues (he is a janitor and she an activity director). Then he calls a week later all hot for me saying, “Only email me at this address.” He wanted to meet me at a hotel.

I sent all his sexting to her and said, “Oops is this the wrong email?”

Aftermath: Apparently she got all his passwords and codes and ordered him to get new email and phone numbers so he would not be tempted to seek me out. She makes him hand in his phone to her every night to check who he has called.

I asked my wife if she loved the guy she was cheating on me with.

Aftermath: Her response was “I haven’t dated him long enough to know yet.”

My boyfriend and I had been dating for about 6 weeks or so, when we were attending the ordination of a friend of my family. He remarked to me afterwards that he hoped that it would be just as lovely a day on our wedding day…..

Aftermath: We dated for a week or so afterwards, but I realized that it was too much too soon and ended it. I have never seen him again.

We dated for a month when he told me he was going into the military. He called me the night before he “left.” I never heard from him again.

Aftermath: Found out he made the whole thing up.
