We’ve all been there: You have a crush on someone but they are attached to some inferior non-you person. Calamity? Yes; but as they say in the classics, it’s not over ’til it’s over. One day they might be single and then they will notice your beautiful eyes and intriguing views about art and music; you just need to know when.

That’s where the Breakup Notifier comes into its own. Simply log in using Facebook, choose the people you’re interested in, and the Breakup Notifier will email you when their relationship status changes on Facebook.

Will they think it’s a little weird when you phone them immediately and ask them out for a Manhattan? Yes! So wait a little while or just pretend you don’t know when you phone and then act as a wistful, sensitive shoulder to cry on when they reveal what’s happened.

Ah, technology! Finding solutions to make your stalking more effective and classier.
