That's when I knew it was over...Nice and simple this week. Just tell us the exact moment you knew that relationship, that job or that penchant for custard-dipped young boys was over.

F2F: end of an e-mail romanceA couple years ago my Dad set me up with an intern that used to work for him. We started emailing, and it was magic! That led to phone calls, even more magic. This is it! I thought. Tons of chemistry, tons in common. Except that she lived 1000 miles away (literally). So for the next 3-day weekend, I booked a flight and she met me at the airport. Checked into my hotel (I was going to be a perfect gentleman about it) and we went to dinner.
Halfway through dinner, uh-oh. We don't got it. The wry sarcasm of emails turns into tedious negativity in person, nothing is good enough and everyone is so stupid. She was attractive enough, no problems there, but what happened to the chemistry? I quickly realized it was going to be a VERY long weekend.
We did make the most of it, going to the mega-mall, gift shopping, etc (no shagging, sadly). BTW, "Down with Love" is not the movie to see on a failed romantic weekend. We're not really friends now, just lessons learned.
