Snoop to Stay in the Loop


Dear I Hate Cupid,
I do not find it appropriate to blame a tiny cherub who has unfortunately stumbled across dangerous artillery for your romantic shortcomings. Cupid has nothing to do with your boyfriend’s lack of commitment or your clingy personality. That aside, I feel curious as to the series of events that lead to your loved one’s rapid departure from your relationship. Does he always act flaky or do you run his sanity out the window? Concerning. Assuming that you do not resemble a crazy cat lady in any way and try to stay away from obsessing over your boyfriend’s facebook, I will advise you as best as I can. You claim that your significant other desires to distance himself from you through a breakup, meaning limited contact and an avoidance of awkward run-ins. I would recommend snooping a little bit. You seem vague in your knowledge of his reasoning for breaking your fragile little heart and I think that would serve as a beneficial first step. Convince him to accompany you to Starbucks where you can talk out your problems over a scalding Americano and a scone. If he refuses, suggest a simple phone call where he needs to explain himself to you. You have the right to know if the simple-minded man has another lady or if he has simply become bored with your tea pot collection and ceramic cats. If he has a woman in the wings, I would recommend revenge. A little Carrie Underwood style of a swift key to the car or a slash to some tires always does the trick. However, if his motives remain honorable and he just feels as if the love train has made its final stop, accept it with dignity and exit the locomotive. It all depends on perspective, dear cupid hater. So, analyze the situation, determine all possible outcomes, weigh the positives and negatives of each, and act accordingly. If all goes smoothly then maybe Cupid will redeem himself, and if not, I suggest buying a puppy. They like to snuggle and will not judge you for polishing off another carton of Ben & Jerry’s.
Yours in Romantic Council,
Ms. Serensky

  1. Blythe, I found this post very interesting and also quite humorous. I chuckled when I read your advice to slash some tires Carrie Underwood style, and I would bet it does the trick. Overall, I liked how you not only gave the Cupid-hater changes she should make, but also possible resolutions to mend her broken heart.

  2. Blythe, I definitely believe in the power of resolution that social networking stalking provides. In times of fighting, heartbreak, or anger, I suggest looking through an opponents photos from either middle school or athletic events. Seeing this person at their physical worst will remind any torn lover of the possibility that they can, in fact, do better.
