Cheeky Cherry’s Dating Dilemma’s

Status Update

With the onset of online social networking blowing up right before us, one of my bosses has decided that it was time for him to start a Facebook account. I work in a small office where the environment is more laid back than most offices. Since it’s more laid back, the random comments are plentiful. And with his new enrollment on Facebook, most of the random things said aloud in the office have something to do with Facebook.

Status Updates. My boss doesn’t understand the point of “status updates” on social networking sites such as the good ole FB or MySpace. And he’s right…who cares if Tina is happy, or if Tracey is at dinner with her boyfriend, or if Jack is playing frisbee in the park. I surely don’t.

I do, however, have a funny dating dilemma that relates to the infamous status updates.

I had been broken up with by a mediocre boy. A year and a half or so later, I decided that it was time. Time to remove him from my “top friends” on MySpace. So one day, I grew a pair and did it. I moved all of my good friends up and he slid down the totem pole of importance, of which, in hindsight, he so rightfully deserved to be at the very bottom. 

Next thing I know, this 30-something year old boy, deleted me from his friends altogether and updated his status to say “How does that make you feel on the inside?” How does that make me feel? Liberating. And then he emailed me…with this sentence that sort of baffled me. The sentence said something to the effect of “Are we not even friends anymore?!?”

Well, no, jack-a, we’re not friends anymore because you deleted me from your friends! Hahaha. I’m funny…I know he meant in real life. But I wondered for a little while, why did it aggravate him so much that I removed him from my top friends, after he cheated on me, lied to me, and left me an emotional wreck. Is it just the whole online social aspect…he wanted people to think we were still best friends forever because he’s such a “great guy” and therefore making him more desirable to others? Maybe.

But that’s why we have “Cheeky Cherry’s Dating Dilemmas” to crack the stupidity code of men.

It’d be really funny to turn his question around and ask that if/when he reads this post…and possibly other posts that may be about him…How does that make him feel on the inside?  

Funny part is, it doesn’t really matter how it makes him feel…Cheeky Cherry fans love it! And that’s all that matters.
