She opens email and types “Dear John”
Hmmmm, she thinks, this is going to be awkward.
“Dearest John” … no, he’s not so dearest after last night. This is seriously the last time I date someone named John, it’s impossible to break up without sounding like a parody.
She closes email and opens Facebook and changes her status to “single” ... done!

Excellent and original!
The 21st century version of a "Dear John" letter...off the friends/email list with little more than a few keystrokes !
LOVE it Jo!!!
ha. the new and improved way of calling it quits. loved it.
LOL! I love how dumping somebody has gone hi-tech without all the annoying personal sentiment! Brilliant take on the prompt!
Very clever use of the prompt. Well done,,,,

Extremely beautiful blog and ah! What a post! Seriously enjoyable as a short story! you have the knack to catch the reader! ;)
how brilliant love it
Breaking up is so very...cyber...well done...Peace and blessings
Superbly catches the new shorter way of things these days!!!
Very creative. Modern technology at its cruelest.
Ha! Love it! And I think the same as others did...how differently we can say "goodbye" with the tools of the 21st Century!
Coward! This is just great! Breaking up is so (NOT) hard to do.
Namaste.........cj
Mwahahahahaha! Perfection!
This is sooo clever! So true to real life. I mean, I really think that this is what a lot of people (male and female) do; they don't do; they don't write and announce an end, they just stop writing and dissappear for the other party.
Well done!
Best wishes,
Anna

No muss no fuss.
Breaking up is hard to do...
but I guess it's a little easier than it used to be!

Well done Jo-and so 2011! Was wondering if you were up to another swap? Check it out when you have a moment.
Jo, you seriously need to be a full time writer. I always want to read more....
I love this, Jo! A commentary on our modern times, and probably all the brush off 'not so dear John' deserves...LOL!
Oh yes! At first I thought when I read our prompt...not so much one can do different here...but gee everyone is doing great...love your take...very creative!
The advantages of the social network...way better... hilariously enjoyable fare.
Oh wow, I love it! Especially the Facebook status! One day my daughter and I were talking and for some reason we thought, Gee why are there so many guys named John? lol
