The Laws of Love
I firmly believe that the universe has its own idea when it concerns the ways of love. Everyone knows them—1) when you like someone, that person will never like you back; 2) when you don’t like someone they will like you, and of course 3) there is a 0.00000001% chance that both people will like each other. N.B- these “laws” are based on 50% fate and 50% human intervention.
Fine, fine, maybe that’s a load of horse shit. But for me it seems to have proved correct time and time again. Honey, we are talking theory tried, tested and true (definitely #2).
Most recently, I’ve had to decline a marriage-ish proposal from a much much older (like 50’s), not to mention creepy, gentleman at one of our sites. As a quick re-cap, I made the mistake of noticing he was a Newfie, and should not have mentioned that I had once visited the small town he was from. Negative effect: somehow these two pieces of information granted me a one way ticket to his heart. All I can say is no thank you. I’m not used to flattery and compliments, but I’m also not used to someone following me on his fork lift around a facility, or in his pick up as I’m walking back to my car.
Yesterday, as I was at my car getting ready to leave, he came up and asked where I had been. “I fall in love with a girl, and then she disappears!” [insert confused and worried reaction on face]. He asked if I was going to the Christmas party, and all I say was that we had our own to go to. I thought he was about to leave, but then he asked if I was single. I paused for a minute and considered that maybe all of this was some big joke and he was just having fun. My third mistake was saying that I was single. I guess I didn’t think too much about it when he asked me. Until… he turned his cap to the side and said it was the second time I got him so excited. “You know, you should really consider me, because I’m still a bachelor. Never been married” [insert moment of awkwardness and then a slow and cautious, “yes… thank you”’. Frankly, I don’t know what weirded me out more—his strong interest in me, or the thought that the turning of the cap and the second time of getting excited perhaps meant something else. As I pulled out of the site, I saw his pick up in my rear view mirror and hit my gas hard so it would be impossible to meet at the red light.
QED for #2
That’s only one of many stories that could substantiate the theories on unrequited love. Some divine being has better things in store for me, right?
*******
On a side note, everyone should listen to Magique by We Are Wolves, as well as the track Fight & Kiss. In my opinion, they are the hottest songs right now.
