B.B. told me that I was pretty much a perfect girlfriend when we were together, but then later on in that same conversation he told me that I was manipulative. Apparently I manipulated him into going to the zoo. He also made complaints about my wanting to spend time with my friends when he wanted it to be just the two of us. Despite these things, he told me that he misses me and thinks about me a lot. He also constantly tells me what a great girl I am. A bit of a mixed review, but that's probably how most relationships are described in retrospect.
It's weird having someone tell you how you are in a relationship, but then you have to take in consideration the bitterness factor - so... that pretty much cancels out all the negative things that B.B. had to say. :) I don't think I'm manipulative, but I guess I can't have the last word on that. When it comes to my friends however, they will typically take priority over any guy. They are a part of who I am and I have faith that those relationships are for a lifetime whereas a relationship with a guy may be transient. There is something profound about my relationships with my best friends that I would never want to put in jeopardy because of a guy. I've had friends that put guys before me and we're either not as close or not friends at all anymore. I can expand on this later, along with my rant about pods.
Maybe one day in the future, I can provide reviews for my exes. Hahaha... or not. I don't think some could handle the truth and others perhaps I wouldn't want to hurt with my honest opinions. Yeah... definitely a bad idea.

My take is that when you break up with someone, you essentially are giving a type of review of that person in a relationship, are you not? Probably because I am pretty frank about what is wrong...Though I suppose there are relationships that just don't work out without it being the fault of one person or another. My only fear would be that other people could read these reviews, thus preventing future dating situations (should they be bad, not that mine would be bad =D). Scary thought.
Ummmm, what are pods? Are they like cliques?
well, obviously breaking up is a review of sorts, but i've never been explicit about why i didn't want to be with a person - maturity issue? not wanting to hurt the other person? i mean... you can't really say "the thought of kissing you makes me want to vomit," can you?
