Fantasy . Reality.
What might have happened yesterday:
1) The former object of my obsessive crush could have raced to my house and stood in the rain with a colossal bouquet of roses--begging me to forgive his year of appalling mixed messages--while I dispassionately watched him get wet, revelling in tables turned.
2) Striped-hat-guy from the bus could have knelt in front of my car and begged me to resume taking public transportation, then whisked me into the back seat and had his way with me.
3) Contestant could have swung by in his limo and insisted that, even though we have nothing in common, my stunning "quite cute" looks merit Valentine's day love and attention, such that he felt compelled to fly me out to Key West for key lime pie, sunshine, warmth, and maybe a book deal.
4) Some amazing, brilliant, sweet, and hot Jewish guy could have appeared almost anywhere and entreated me to go out--and eventually marry--him.
Alas, this is the romantic attention I got yesterday. From Mr. Ponytail. So sweet. And yet, so cruel:
Hi Dori...
All right. I debated a lot whether to send this one. I know, I know, the chemistry isn't there for you. But I just wanted to let you know that there's at least one guy out there...ME...that thinks you're a pretty nifty gal. *DON'T* let this note make you feel uncomfortable in any way. Just simply admired. No awkward flowers, no chocolate, no love notes, no other intentions (for better or worse). I'm just sending you a one-way :-) compliment to let you know that I know you to be someone pretty special.

Dori, this guy is perfect. Are you sure you're not interested? He sounds so cute... Maybe we can use behavior therapy to associate his behaviors (admittedly non-chemistry-inducing) with those of the former object of your obsessive crush? You know, a clicker! He does something good, you click, give treat, and wait for the next act of similarity. Perhaps you should suggest a haircut and try again?
