One of the invariable consequences of dating in the modern technological age is that no relationship is never truly over, so long as one or both parties have an on-line footprint.

Colleen Crowley Confirms Break-Up With Browns QB?

Take Colleen Crowley and Johnny Manziel, for instance. This high profile young couple lived out their relationship in the public eye for months, posting pictures of themselves partying and showing affection in places like Cleveland, Miami, Texas and elsewhere.

However, now that Crowley and Johnny Football have supposedly broken up, their social media presence takes on a different dimension.

Manziel is off-the-grid while he battles his drinking problem in rehab, so we're going to have to wait for his side of the story, if a side even comes.

Crowley, however, has been all over Instagram in the past week, posting photos of herself constantly in the presence of close friends. Perhaps she's trying to put on a brave face and "win" the break-up -- that natural impulse we've all had to demonstrate we're having fun and doing just fine without the significant other we've just lost.

Perhaps more telling that any one photo Crowley has posted is the one she's recently deleted -- her last post with Manziel, a selfie taken when the two were driving in a car. The caption of that now-erased picture? "When you're in love with your best friend."
