Hey! I'm Becky and I've been dating my boyfriend, Aaron, since we were in high school. Everyone says we're a really cute couple and I guess we are. Aaron's family's really rich, so he's always buying me things and taking me to nice restaurants. There's only one problem. Aaron's really boring. Like, he never wants to go to parties and when he does agree to come with me, he just stands around, looking miserable. I do love him, but sometimes I wish he'd just lighten up, ya know? That's why I decided to join a dating site. I figured I could have a bit of fun without hurting Aaron. I found one of those for people who want to hook up, no strings attached. When I signed up, I felt really nervous and excited. There were so many hot guys on there! It wasn't long before I started getting messages. One guy, Liam, sent me really funny texts which made me laugh, so when he asked me out, I said yes. The bar we went to was nothing like the places Aaron takes me to. It was cheap and nasty, but the moment I saw Liam walk through the door, I didn't care. I mean, wow! He was totally ripped! But then he opened his mouth and said, “you looked better in your photo.” What a jerk! It got worse. He said, “I guess we can still hook up, though. Just don't tell anyone about me, okay? Don't want to ruin my reputation.” “As if!” I laughed. “I'd be doing you a favor,” he said. “No one else is going to want you. So, are we going to do this or what?” Of course, I walked out and went home to Aaron. Maybe he was boring, but at least he thought I was beautiful. For a while, things were good with Aaron. I stopped looking at the dating site and really tried to be happy. The problem was, I couldn't stop thinking about Liam. Who did he think he was, talking to me like that? Eventually, I went back to the dating site and starting scrolling through my messages. There were hundreds! A lot of the guys were creeps, just like Liam, but one of them, Ben, seemed quite nice. I agreed to meet him. I wore my favorite little black dress and bright red lipstick. When Aaron saw me getting ready to go out, he said, “You look nice. Meeting anyone special?” “Not really. Just going out for drinks with Sarah,” I replied. I tried to act cool, but my heart was pounding. What if Aaron guessed I was lying? He kissed me on the cheek. “Say hi from me,” he smiled. Phew! I have to admit, it was a real buzz knowing I had a secret and when I walked into the bar, I decided that if Ben was a jerk like Liam, I'd just find someone else. I looked hot! Ben was already waiting for me and when he saw me, he grinned. “Wow,” he said. “You look amazing!” He bought me a drink and we started talking. He was so different to Aaron. He'd been in the navy and traveled all over the world. A couple hours later, Ben asked me if I wanted to go back to his place. I said yes, but as we were about to leave, I got a text from Aaron. “Is that your boyfriend?” Ben asked. I blushed. “Yes.” Ben laughed. “It's okay. I don't mind if you don't.
