Unlike me, this 8 year old girl knows how to play the game.
That Monday he sent me an email about a tv show we were both watching. Nothing about me being cute or having a great time on Friday. No plans for him to make me his famous duck confit that week. I start to panic.
Now a normal person would read this and tell me to chill the f out--but as you will come to find out, I have a very hard problem with instant gratification and wanting things NOW. My friends sometimes liken me to Veruka Salt.
Mistake #5
After some lame emails back and forth, I bit the bullet and asked if he wanted to see an art show that we were talking about (cringe!!!). It took him a day to respond and he just commented that he heard it was a good show.
UGH! I should have wrote him off there, but I continued to email him, not pushing the issue that he totally ignored my date request, but hoping he would eventually ask me out again.
Then the emails became less frequent, work became "crazy busy" (the kiss of death in a relationship) and I stopped emailing him. Or did I????
We bonded over our love/hate of the Kardashians, so when Kim had her baby about two weeks later, I emailed him. He responded back something funny but short.
FINALLY I got the hint and I let it go. Now you can say that he only wanted a hook up and after he didn't get any lost interest, but I could have made myself a LOT more interesting if I actually let him think I was a hot commodity. I was just short of showing up to his office naked with a sign that says "I have no prospects other than you right now."
In sum, I made the huge mistake of a) falling hard for a guy way too soon and b) making myself 100% available to him. This is the worst possible thing you can do in order to attract a mate, I know this, yet continued to do it. At some point, my ego just took control and in the end made me look like a fool. So, as the moral of this blog goes, do as I say, and for God's sake not as I do!
