Smooth Talker and Different Feelings
Smooth Talker came in today. Of course I wasn’t expecting him, because the weather outside is so cold and I figured they’d be done by now working on whatever roof they are working on.
As soon as I saw him get out of his truck with his crew, I was like ‘God, no’, but there was nowhere to go because it was just me and the woman I work with.
So he gets his stuff and comes up to me all smiles. And this time, I treated him like a normal customer. He still proceeded to ask me if I lost his phone number, to which I replied that the phone works both ways, and he just smiled and laughed.
So his buddy comes up next to him, and he tells his buddy about how much I must hate him, because I’ll go out with him, then disappear, then go out with him, then disappear. I just rolled my eyes and told him to have a nice day. After lingering for a bit, he left.
But I had mixed emotions after he left.
First, I was happy to see that I don’t want to be around him anymore - I guess the fact that he ’scams’ girls on Craigslist turned me off.
Second, I was angry after he left because I just don’t want to see him in there anymore. I just want him to go away. Everything’s done and over with, I don’t want to be around him.
So that kind of ruined my whole day, so I rushed home to finish reading Twilight, and fell into Edward-land, which got my mind off of things.
I guess I can say I’m making progress - because before when he came in I couldn’t resist him, and now I guess I’m repulsed by him.
Yay for me? 
I say a BIG yay for you! It’s definitely progress, to go from feeling like you have to force yourself to resist him, to actually wishing he would go away. High fives for you. But don’t you just HATE being cornered…!?
That’s awesome, Diana. Being repulsed by ol’ Smooth Talker’s presence is definitely a step in the right direction.
YIPPEE!! Now if he can just take the hint.
Maybe you should just tell him outright you don’t want to see him anymore. Men respect that.
Angi: Yes, I think the temptation is finally gone for me. He just didn’t look as scrumptious as he had before. Definitely high fives for me.
Kev: Thanks, Kev!
Sarah: Yes, let’s hope that he does. I’m hoping the weather stays bad around here so I don’t have to see them til springtime, when hopefully Matt Damon has proposed to me by then.
Manx: Usually I would, but this guy is a convicted felon with a bad temper, and I don’t want to trigger that.
