To the guy who carried my groceries home from a Barrington Street grocery store. Thanks. It was so greatly appreciated. —Smile

I first met you last year at the coffee shop where you work. Your smile brightens my everyday and your eyes light up my world. I texted you from a friend's phone in January and we exchanged song lyrics and poems for a few days. Wanted to let you know that you're an amazing person and have had just a great impact on my life. Keep smiling baby! —Latte Lover

Thank you! Meeting you and being able to be totally honest with a stranger was needed... for you too I think. I hope that last email reaches you even though you removed me from your msn contacts. —Lime

I just got off the #80 bus half an hour ago and this is an apology to the cute girl (red hair, pink nails) who sat across from me. I don't know if you were upset about the old guy next to you (beard, no moustache, bowling shoes) who tried to give you some Christian pamphlet or the texts you were getting but I'm sorry that I had no way to tell you not to cry and that whatever is going on or going wrong with you will pass. I am married and twice your age so this ain't no come on, I just wish there was something I could have done or said. —Myself

I am not sure if this is really a love or a bitch, I'd consider it more of a challenge. I believe animals deserve a higher quality of life than they are given already. If we are going to keep them in captivity in the first place than we MUST respect them. They have feelings, a sensitive nervous system like you and me, and they need love. Whether it is a pet, the meat on your plate, or work animals on a farm, GIVE THEM SOME LOVE! I would also like to add, if you have never put any thought into vegetarianism, then I challenge you to do some research. If you already have and it isn't for you than that is okay too, but please don't be ignorant to what you consume. Thank you sincerely for your attention! —Natasha

To the two handsome officers who had my back last Thursday night. I was very aware and very afraid of the two men following me home. Had you officers not been there I don't know what would have happened to me. I'm very grateful for you both and I must say you were even able to have me reconsider my very negative opinion on cops—for once in my life the police were there to protect me. It's about time, just keep it up please! —Grateful Girl

I fought the urge to do this as a Bitch for the last 5 days.

Listen, I get it: you weren't completely head-over-heels in love with me after a couple months. I wasn't either. However, the physical relationship was awesome, you told your friends and family about me, bragging what a good guy I was, taking me to meet your best friends, and telling me how much you adored me constantly. You told me no guy had ever treated you like you were beautiful or like you were precious before. And we seemed to really care about each other.

Your answer was to withdraw for the Easter weekend in your apartment and send me an email breaking up with me. You told me how nice I made you feel, and how you adored me but you didn't want to cry when you told me this to my face. When I emailed back, explaining how I felt, I never received a reply.

No one likes to be rejected. And especially, no one likes to be dumped by something as impersonal as email. I didn't see us getting married either, you know, but normal people often date for a while anyway when they really enjoy each others' company, have a great sex life, and care for each other. Maybe you just want some guy to give you a baby. Before you get to that stage with a guy, you need to work out your feelings of negative self worth, that you let guys walk all over you, because a baby isn't going to fix anything, it's going to make it more difficult. Not to mention it's not fair to the guy or the child.

If you find another guy to wants to be with you, but you decide to dump him because an emotionally open and mature relationship scares you off, do him a favour and dump him in person. It will show him a bit of respect and allow some closure for both of you.

The reason this is a love and not a bitch is the day you dumped me I lucked into meeting someone really awesome and we have a date this week. Without you dumping me, I would still be watching you be insecure about the relationship and second guessing everything every week or so. Your insecurity made me feel bad for you, but I thought being there for you with acceptance and love would help you grow out of it and realize you are worth someone loving you. I was really starting to develop feelings for you. But the way you dumped me and refused to acknowledge my feelings gave me closure right away. Good luck dating again. —A Lucky Guy

We came as a huge crowd to the restaurant last week, and pretty near filled up the entire room. You three fixed us up with our meal in no time, and were great about it, too. Hope your days were as excellent as ours. The food was great! —That Noisy Bunch

To the petite, curly haired, cute as a button rockabilly gal tearing up the dance floor on Saturday night. Just want to let you know how stunning you looked in your pretty dress and boots. Was trying to watch the band, but you kept catching my eye. —Admirer

I was having the most irritating morning. Arrived to work and not a single thing was working or going right, the phone was ringing off the hook. I felt like I was going to have an ulcer or a brain aneurysm I was so irritated! Then you walked by and offered me an extra coffee you had, and I don't know why, but I was so grateful after you left that I nearly felt like crying. It might not be much, but it still perked me up after an otherwise REALLY stressful morning! Thank you SO much! —Jdp21
