On Absolute Transparency, or Love in the Time of Google
@WaityKatie yes! dear article writer (btw you are v pretty) it is not you - that guy was horrible! some guys just are!
i mean one guy I went on a date with basically said everyone in my town were hicks and racist (thanks dude, I not only grew up here but am descended from and related to many of those people you think are 'hicks' and 'racist' - funny they are less judgemental and arseholish than you). Then when I offered him my free mini cookie, with the info that I can't eat gluten, he said (quote) 'Oh, you're one of those gluten free crazies'.
that's not all, but that'll do. regrets in life: that I didn't throw my cup of tea in his face and just walk off at the time... WHYYYYY did I think I had to be nice on dates???!!!

@JoanHaulAway Don't go, kitten. don't go! it's his friend's wedding. even if you are losing the money on tickets - think about this: time is precious, is staying away from your ex and having some self esteem worth $2000 or whatever? YES IT IS!!!

On How to Cope With a Break-Up
@meetapossum I hear ya. most of my exes move on to marriage/moving in with a gf right after a series of commmitmentphobic stupidities with me. I hate it when people talk about the satisfaction of seeing their awful exes live crappy lives. I don't know what my exes' lives are like, except that they manage to do this thing.
(I do have the most wonderful boyfriend now, so not complaining now, but boy did I ever complain while I was single)

I should have also commented to say: Carla, I feel your pain on being very google-able. I have panicked a bit over the combination of that and online dating. my parents didn't plan it this way - they wanted to pick a simple first name to go with my more complicated last name. turns out I am the only person with my name in Australia (there's another one somewhere in the US, lol).
what happened to me: some dates googled me, some didn't. my current boyfriend, who I met online dating, who hates being contactable so much that there is only one thing about him on the internet, ever... googled me, read an old blog of mine, read other articles about me, and we still fell in love just fine. good blokes will be impressed by your lovely essay and think your body's quirks are cool or won't even register.
