"Alexa, play Truth Hurts by Lizzo, please!" Ladies, I totally get it. Summertime is ramping up and this heat is driving us a little love crazy. Who hasn’t been tempted to do as Sandy Dumbrowski did and pine after her “summer lovin’?” Well, don’t get carried away and start an online shopping rabbit hole for leather pants and red heels! We don’t have time to waste on those boy crushes who aren’t deserving of our energy.
You may be thinking, “How did I even get here? Everything was going so well!” and honey, that’s how it always goes. You went on two or three hyper-romantic dates with a new fling and really hit it off. Maybe one drink turned into four and time truly slipped away. You see a future in this person, but, unfortunately, the feelings are just not mutual. He's just ghosted you and you're left in the lurch.

A moment of silence for all of the now unobtainable life plans we fantasized about as we were going all goo-goo over our new toys.
Nowadays, everything is online. And I mean, everything. I can’t go one meal without geotagging and sharing with all of my followers. Did it really happen if it wasn’t featured on my Instagram story? The jury is still out on that one.
On the one hand, it is really great. I can carry at least four different conversations with my crush through texts, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, and Twitter. The opportunities are really endless when it comes to channels of communication. But on the other hand, it is almost too easy to completely virtually drop someone. Suddenly, a “read” notification becomes the end of the flame and we are back to desperately swiping right on Tinder and racking our brain for clever pickup lines for our Bumble matches.
I am here to tell you, that there is nothing wrong with kicking someone to the curb when they aren’t satisfying you and your needs. What good is sitting around, refreshing your Instagram likes and checking your crush's Snapchat scores when you could be out with someone who really makes you feel special and wanted?
When you need an extra push to delete those texts, unfriend, or block, check out this list of feel better quotes that are both sassy and confident so that you can say "goodbye!" to the crush that ghosted you and "hello!" to whoever's next, thank you very much.
