Magician part 2

I fell under the spell of the "magician" in the last post.  Just for a little.  But enough to warrant a post of the lesson learned.

After we got past the absurdity of his weak excuse of a pick up, he was a great conversationalist.  we talked everyday.  He would reply to everything I said and I replied to his.  Mine more of a polite thing.

We exchanged numbers, because I didn't want to use my data.   We kept texting and SnapChatting for another week and then we met face to face.  And the date we went on was great.  We talked, we laughed, we drank, we were merry. He also said that I was a very nice person.  Which is what everyone who gets to know me says.   But I said I wanted to go slow because of the fact that the whole online dating someone was new to me.  He told me that was perfectly fine.

Apparently not.

So we tried making plans for another date.  We set a time and place, and he told me to be there.  Day comes, I get a text saying something came up and we have to reschedule.  We did.  I ask him the day before the reschedule if we were still on.  He said yes.  Day of reschedule comes.  He cancels again, no promise of reschedule.  I offer a quick meet up in replacement.  He says he WON'T have time.  Not that he doesn't have time.  He WON'T.

Fine then, I WON'T be texting him again, and I WON'T be SnapChatting him again.  And I WON'T promise that I will never go to his work.  That's what he gets for working in a popular retail chain.  I'll go, and he's going to have to be nice to me there, because that's what he's paid to do.  Be nice and helpful to customers.  Now if he could only use those skills in real life when he's not getting paid.

And if he tries to pull me back under his spell, then I WON'T be swept off my feet again by him.
