Breakup Blues

SOUTH BEND TRIBUNES -- Feb 8 -- I'd met up with Kate through eHarmony in early November. We'd communicated extensively through e-mail for about a month, and I'd been down to visit her in Chicago twice. When it came close to Christmas, I bought a computer part I knew she needed as an early gift. A few days later, she called me and said although she'd be happy for me to come down and visit, she just didn't think "the spark" was there. I appreciated her honesty and thought we could remain friends. So even knowing this was a dating dead-end, I still drove down to see her that evening -- and fixed her computer. Then, the last week of December, I started communicating with Lisa from Indiana, who I'd met through Cupid.
