"When my boyfriend, Jamal, left for Iraq in July 2006, he ended our relationship, thinking it would be too hard. During the Christmas season, I heard he was back in town, but I didn't contact him. He IMed me one night, and we talked for hours, which was really emotional.

"The next week, he took me on dates, out to dinner, bought me chocolate ... the whole nine yards. He was trying to win me back, but I wouldn't commit because I was scared he'd hurt me again.

It did the trick."--Veronica, 30

"Tom and I got into a horrible fight because I had lied to him, so he broke up with me. I was devastated, but he'd had good reason. He wouldn't speak to me, so I had no way of trying to explain myself. To get him back, I knew I needed to do something spectacular. I found out through a friend that he was going to be at a Cubs game. I despise baseball, but I thought that maybe doing something on one of those big stadium screens would be a way to get his attention. It worked! ...
