Tail Chasing...

Hello again!

I know when the novelty wears off it will be a hassle to post a new blog every single day...so enjoy me while i'm here!

What i'm talking about today applies mostly to girls...but guys, i think u should read it too...so u can understand the sheer frustration we feel!!

You know when you see some scrap of a dog running in circles but on the spot, trying to catch its own tail?...well i don't know about you, but i feel a little bit sorry for the dog knowing that its plan will never come to fruition...

but the chase must be oh so sweet, otherwise why would any living thing subject themselves to that kind of headache?

Well it applies to people too!

You meet a guy....

he's really cool, u begin to talk on the phone, Msn, Facebook...and you find out you have alot in common...

then u graduate on to the conversations that last multiple hours...you know the type...the ones that could be anywhere from two to twelve hours...what do you talk about? absolutely everything!! u exchange charming stories that date back to when you were in diapers...you talk about your dreams, your ambitions, your ideals (and in the beginning stage...we all have very strong ideals!..lol)..finally you either fall asleep whilst the other person is still talking or u tear yourself away from the phone because u have an early lecture the next morning...

During one of the many conversations he begins to tell you about his ex..and u begin to feel all warm and fuzzy inside...because why else would he be telling you about his past relationship...if not to drop some subtle hints?

...he might even start a sentence...

'If you were my girlfriend...'

At this point all you are hearing is this sentence over and over and over and.......puddle of mush

So everything is going great...u even feel brave enough to face the 101 questions your friends will have when u break the news to them...but you go about this carefully, because you know how precarious the beginning of something new can be...

he ticks all the right boxes
ambitious...tick
funny...tick
good looking...tick
sexy...tick...(and one more tick...sigh)
kind...tick

You even find yourself talking about the person every ten minutes (much to the chagrin of your friends)

'Oh, I wonder if so-and-so likes cranberry juice...I think i'll try cranberry juice...'


and then

SILENCE



Now, don't get me wrong..this doesn't happen all the time...but at the same time it happens quite frequently...and it is possibly the worst feeling in the world

Deep down in your heart you knew it could go either way..but you were pleading with the relationship gods to shine their light of good favour upon you...because your last boyfriend was a prick...

But...u are subject to the disappearing act...and you begin to wonder (especially if its after you met for the first time...thats the worst)

Was i not pretty enough?
Did i say the wrong thing?
Did i fail some some invisible test? (when you passed mine with flying colours and gold stars!)

And i'm sure this could apply to some guys too...(just reverse the situation obviously)

Its the chasing tail theory...you come so so (sosososososososo) close to a good thing...but you never quite reach it...

And if you are reaaaaally unlucky...he might even one day out of the blue make contact...but...act like nothing ever happened before!!..not even a hint of an explanation (oh woe is you if this happens)...you feel even smaller than you did before when you told yourself he was busy, or sick with a really bad case of something!

Well, as my mother says...u have to get through many dissapointing side shows to get to the main attraction

So, i guess we have to keep chasing our tails till we finally catch them (him/her... whatever!)

but its so annoying when you feel your teeth finally brushing the tip of the fur on your tail (so to speak)...and then its gone!

I sincerely hope you all are that much closer to catching it (If u already haven't that is!)

..cuz all this running in circles is giving me a damn headache!

:D
