Anyway my advice is, go out to eat. Try a different restaurant each night and after a few nights you will have found a cute waitress in the here and now that you can wish you had the guts to talk to, and can stop thinking about this girl from 5 years ago who after all is someone else now.
if i were in a new relationship with the love of my live that I happened to meet a couple of months ago, my reaction to this would be the exact same. dunno how much clearer I can make it. I just feel like, if I was obsessed over someone for the better part of
5 years, from 5th to 9th grade, it would be sad if I never talked to that someone ever again. it's almost a quarter of my life! that's the reason. it has
nothing to do with how things currently are.
It's possible that youngsters will have different attitudes towards this stuff, that they will think, of course everyone who wants to can find that naked picture of me that I sent on my phone to my special someone and that they posted after we broke up; everyone has one of those and there's no hiding them. Currently people aren't trying so much to shut down google's image-based search, but somehow they draw the line at it being part of a pair of glasses. I don't really know where things are headed but it's interesting.
I don't get what your point is. this wasn't something she would be ashamed of people seeing it, it was her profile picture, something that she uploaded herself and also something that's completely harmless. I mean, I don't necessarily disagree with your post, but it doesn't really fit what has happened here.
In this day and age, posting the image *is* giving us a link to the facebook page
fine, I actually didn't know that. but I still don't get your point.
I think you misunderstood the whole situation. either way, I really hope you post another answer.
