To Sum Up: Boy meets Girl. Boy falls madly in love. Boy tells Girl he wants to get married and ride off into the sunset together. Girl happily agrees. Boy is firming up the logistics of putting a ring on it when Girl abruptly calls things off with little explanation.
Boy is heartbroken and devastated, but he finds it within himself to not beg and plead her to take him back. Boy reluctantly initiates No Contact. Months go by. He starts to get on with his life, but he thinks of her often. He sets up a profile on OK Cupid for the purpose of "getting back out there" and meeting somebody else. It should be noted that Boy lives in Dallas-Fort Worth, a metro area of 6.3 million people, with presumably thousands of people in his area active on OKC. One morning about nine months after Girl abruptly cut him out of her life, he gets an email notifying him that somebody has sent him a message on OKC. He reads a short message from a lady that he does not know that says "Howdy. How are you? Just wanted to say you have lovely taste in music." He browses to the profile to look at her pictures, where she has uploaded several of her posing with her friends. Guess who appears in two of the photos? Girl who broke his heart. The pictures have obviously been taken since she left his life. Boy has not initiated any contact or looked Girl up on facebook since the breakup. It is his first (involuntary) glimpse at Girl and her life after the split. Boy is shocked and freaked out. He initially decides to ignore, but finally decides to reply. He thanks the friend for her message, but says he is not interested in talking further. He acknowledges his ex in the pictures and throws her a compliment.
