Virtual Expressions of Love to Sweeten the Day

So I'm sure that up til now I've come across as the typical 'heinous bitch' shall we say? I seem cynical and jealous of everything romantic. However, this is completely false. At the core, I remain a sappy romantic. In fact, one of my favorite past times is to surf the web and find cute love quotes or send silly and romantic e-cards to my guy friends. In my opinion, the e-card is one of the sweetest ways to send a little love to someone in a very simple way. Granted, it's not as personal or meaningful as the old-fashioned love letter, but at the same time, it's a visually appealing gift, and it's quick and simple to do.
My favorite site for all this sappy business is AdoringYou. It has e-cards for every possible relationship you could think of, even the breaking up e-card. That, to me, might be an even worse way to end a relationship than the whole breaking up on Facebook thing. However, there are a few really cute little cards that are fun to send to friends, especially the 'Missing You' cards. I know that it's something I like to do, especially when I feel like a friend is having a tough week and could use a pick-me-up.
AdoringYou also feeds my cute love quotes addiction. It has quotes submitted by people who have visited the site as well as some famous quotes. My favorite quote of all time is included:
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:That word is love." ~Sophocles
One other thing I loved about this site was that it has little love coupons you could print out to give to your significant other, which I thought was a totally cute idea. What's better than giving a coupon for love??
