egag! I landed on myspace last night trying to find tunes by a band I had heard and I remembered that the last guy I dated, who walked away to be with his "ex" and who to my great annoyance I still think about, had a myspace account (he sent me an invitation when we first met, I tried to access it but had to register and just did not have time to set up an account so I gave up).

 

So, of course, not thinking things through, what do I do? Type his name in the people search function and, eeeek, his profile shows up!

 

Oh no! I spend my days in front of the computer! How do I avoid going to "check" his profile??? (I am not planning on getting an account any time soon, so don't worry about that part...)

 

I guess the good thing about it is it made me realise I was hanging on to the hope he would one day come back, once he realised he had walked away from something great. I have now come to understand he did realise he was walking away from something great, and still managed to walk away.

I am all too familiar with <queue music> "the myspace thing".

 

A couple of options for you.

1) create a fake account. Get yourself a gmail account or hotmail or someother throwaway account - I use Jane Doe and say I live in one of the Dakota's. Once you have your fake account set up you can go in and view his complete page. This is NOT recommended as that's how I found out my bf had changed his status from in a relationship to single, wanting to date etc. Talk about a slap across the face. It will however appease your curiousity and once you look once you can then delete your myspace profile and then you won't be able to look again. This is also what I've done. That way, hopefully, as I tend to obsess, I can stop myself from creating another account and looking again. Kind of hurts... wait, no kind of, it does hurt.

2) Just don't go there anymore at all. I think myspace is very young and very pretentious. That's why I got rid of my "real" account in the first place. So and so has 50 million friends. Uh huh, right. It's just a bad thing for me. Make it a bad thing for you too. His loss and not worth your time.

 

However, if you check out that guys, could you check out my bf's and let me know what his says now??? (LOL).

lol. Sorry Ssheena, right now I am absolutely not thinking of creating any account to go check out his profile fully, so you'll just have to find another source for news from your bf.

 

I guess this whole thing has just made me realise just how omnibulated this man is with his ex. And that, there is no ifs and buts about it, I'm lucky I found out sooner rather then later.

 

All I will do is keep checking his and her profiles (of course she is one of his friends) to see when they change their "status" from single (as it is now, which confused me) to taken.

That or I could spend countless hours on loveshack trying to resist the urge to go on my space...
