Dear John



My friend forwarded me her lover’s kiss-off e-mail. He signed it with a dash, then his initials, in all caps.

That was how he chose to end a chapter of his romantic life? With a dash and capitalized monogram?

Either the guy has no imagination, is terribly stiff, or both.

I told her it was his parting gift—perfect closure to a relationship that wasn’t fulfilling enough for her in the first place.

The lack of passion makes me cringe. Call me old fashioned, but I’d rather have someone slap me in the face than send me a cold, preppy e-mail.

Thankfully, my friend has happily moved on to someone new, someone more her speed.

I dare say that if you take the time to get know a person, and actually figure out what makes them…laugh…or…cry… would it really be too much to use an emotional word, or at the very least, type out your entire first name when saying good-bye?

Love,
Lisa
