The other day I patronized that business where that young woman works, the young woman I can go on and on about, and she seemed inappropriately cold in her manner towards me when I greeted her. I say inappropriate because she had previously favored me with very nice, affirming attention. I conclude that this young woman figures that she can get more information from me and about me by blowing hot and cold than she can get just being nice to me and letting me know she likes me. I find this kind of controlling behavior very, very off-putting.
In other news, I've given myself permission to think a lot about someone else in my world. I figured long ago that I could think obsessively about someone such as that young woman at that business whom I can go on and on about as long as I did the right thing when all was said and done. So, if I can allow myself to think obsessively about someone such as that young woman, I can allow myself to think about someone who strikes me as an entirely different type. Right?
I want to emphasize that I'm not trying to rebound from any setback, perceived or genuine, that I may have experienced in regards to that young woman at that business. I associate "rebounding" with finding another love interest who will essentially take this person's place. Looking for someone to take this young woman I can go on and on about's place brings to mind the adage, "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." Do I really want a love interest who can take this young woman's place in every sense of the word? No. This other person doesn't rate as a love interest, yet, and she may never rate as a love interest, but I feel as if I've done enough thinking, and doing, outside the box these past twenty years that I can permit my mind to wander from that young woman at that business to someone who may or may not represent greener pastures.
