The Magician

There are two types of useless persistence. Ready for this? Take notes.

The Constant Contact: You meet a lust interest out one evening... maybe you met them through friends, maybe it's an OKCupid date...maybe just out at a bar. You two hit it off and continue to ignore everyone else around you for the remainder of the evening, laughing and competing in a flirting tournament. You're happy when they ask for your number at the evening because you definitely want to see them again. Little did you know that giving them access to contact you at their will would be the biggest mistake of your week.

That night you get a sweet "so great meeting you! hope we can get together again soon" text.
The next morning you get: "Hi! How are you feeling? My head is killing me."
Mid day: "Hows your day? I'm so bored at work"
Early Evening: "What are your plans this evening?"
Later: "Guess you're busy. Let me know when you're free this weekend."
Even Later: "You should come meet me, I'm at A and 13th."
Latest: "Ok, Goodnight! Give me a call tomorrow when you're free!"

This is a repetitive cycle. As the days continue, you decide to transfer this "lust interest" to the "stalker" list as they progress to contact you by facebook, email, gchat and phone.

Word to the wise: Come on too strong, it will go wrong.

Word to The Constant Contacter: Back the F off. You have successfully overwhelmed and annoyed your new prospective conquest. You have most likely become known to their friends as the freak that won't leave them alone.


The Magician: Let me explain it like this. You meet someone awesome. We shall call this person Q. Q is charming, sweet, cute, funny... you have a nice time with Q. After a few dates, Q goes apeshit. Q gets mad at you for changing plans, not responding within an hour to a text or god forbid, canceling a date. Like magic, Q's an asshole. Then Q pulls the disappearing act. Q disappears for about a month.. or two. Then one day, you're sitting at work and BAM - there is a text in your inbox. Q: Hey you! It's been a while! We should get together..catch up over coffee!

Now hold the phone (literally). Just because you disappeared for a month does NOT mean you are a different person. Your CRAZY does not disappear when you do. If you wear your crazypants with someone, it is hard for them to ever picture you wearing anything else.

Every magician has a trick, but you're not fooling anyone. Unfortunately, once you know how the trick is done, the illusion is gone and so is the interest.

  1. I read through several of your posts and although I don't agree with some of the content, I can relate to why you feel the way you do. I actually share a similar frustration, but with women. It seems like you've taken a little vacation from this blog so I hope that you've found some peace in terms of relationships. I know it's hard to believe sometimes, but the story we paint in our minds is sometimes missing some pages or even a few chapters. Good luck finding him.
