4 minute read Preview Yesterday at 2:00 AM CSTDEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I can’t believe how I let things go this far. For fun, I started online-dating a man from another country across the Atlantic, never thinking it’d progress to something big.

I realized there’s something weird in my head. The names of my major boyfriends all started with an ‘R.’ They were Randy, Rick, Ronnie and Robert. Isn’t that crazy?
