Yes. That is absolutely crazy. Who uses MySpace anymore? The last time I logged into my profile, Bush was president. (In fact, I can't remember the last time I even visited the home page. Since when did it become a "social entertainment" site?) If you're going to pretend to be someone else in order to spy on your ex, at least do it over Facebook.

Of course I'm kidding. Seriously, don't pretend to be someone else. That sort of thing only works in bad romantic comedies. Why is posing as someone else online a thing that people think is okay to do? (This is not the first time this subject has come up.) Also, why do you want to rekindle a friendship or a possible relationship with a lie? How could that possibly end well? What if he wants to meet this fake person you've created? What are you going to do then? Wear a wig and adopt a French accent?

No, you should write him as you and ask how he's doing. Tell him you feel bad about the way things ended and would like to talk. Work the nostalgia factor and remind him of the fun times you had before things turned sour. Be the real, genuine person he fell for in high school. Time can heal wounds. Who knows, maybe he's moved past the break-up and would like to be friends again. With honest communication, exes can get past all kinds of things. But it's pretty much impossible to get past "I tricked you into thinking I was someone else just so we could talk like we did in the good old days." Just like it's impossible to log into MySpace without getting spam messages from fake profiles.
