My life had fallen apart, one minute I was dating a great guy, I had an awesome job that paid me very well and I was ready to put a down payment on the house of my dreams. I had everything that I had ever dreamt of, and I had achieved all this by the time I was only 26 years old. I remember being younger and dreaming about my true love and how one day I would grow up to find him and have a big white wedding followed by a beautiful house and then three kids.

I never dreamt that my boyfriend would end up leaving me just when I thought he was going to propose. We had been sitting at home and I was in my pj's ready to watch a movie and cuddle when he began the talk about how he needed some space. At first I thought he was playing with me and I even began to laugh and tickle him telling him he was such a kidder, but it was true. He broke up with me that night and I was left all alone. I began to get depressed and soon my job began to suffer the effects and my bossput me ona 2 week suspension. He said that if I get better in two weeks and if I am ready to take my job serious then I am welcomed back and if not I have to find a new job.

My best friend came over and tried talking me into joining a dating service, she said that meeting a new guy will help me get over this and get back to work faster. I know I need to move on, I don’t want to lose my job and the opportunity to get my house. I just can't see myself on a dating service, I think those places are for losers and even though right now I may be one I still can't make myself sign up.

I guess I will just sit here and take these two weeks to try to forget all about him. I have to do this; my future depends on my getting better. Maybe once I feel more like myself I can then consider a dating service. Right now I would make a horrible date and not even a poor loser who joined a dating service deserves the awful fate of going on a date with me.
