I’d be off like a robbers dog. Obviously she wasn’t the one. ---

So she waited until after Christmas so she could get a present, and until after New Year’s Eve so she could have a date. Old, old trick; guys pull it too. Whole lotta fish in the sea and all that. Just move on. ---

I feel your pain, **Quimby** and **Martian**. I was dumped on 30 Dec 09. After a couple of false starts, I found a really sweet man who I’ve been dating the past couple of months. There’s hope yet! Here’s to a better 2011 for you both. ---

I got dumped on New Year’s Eve once, but the only thing that pissed me off about it is that she insisted on us having a “last night together”…which I went through with, but didn’t even get a farewell lay or anything like that. ---

What did you do? Cuddle? 😕 **Quimby** , you’ll probably do better next time anyway. ---
