Still Got "It"

11/3/2014

And I want to get rid of “it.”  What is IT?  That ability to attract every unsuitable man there is. For as long as I can remember I have attracted the “wrong” man. When I was a young woman there were men who wanted someone to cook and clean for them, make their girlfriends (unbeknownst to me) jealous, make them appear “normal,” and basically add money to their coffers.  I have just been a means to an end for all the men I have known and loved. 

Now that I am a senior citizen, I still have “it.”  The last man I was involved with was in my life for over 11 years.  Yes, I married him and yes, he was unsuitable.  At the end of this relationship I was damaged and poor. When he was gone I had nothing. I am still damaged and poor, but it appears I still have “it.”

These unsuitable men still want something from me.  They do not want to give me anything, except maybe a headache. You see, old as I am, and poor as I am, I still have a car and some abilities left in the ways of the computer.  The unsuitable men I have had “hit” on me do not waste time “courting;” they go right to asking to be a boyfriend or even right to a marriage proposal. Those who want my car or for me to take them places in my car, always invite me out on a date.  Then, in the next sentence they tell me they have no car. 

Next, there are those who have heard I know computers and they want to be my boyfriend so I can set up a web site or an email account for them. (There is no offer to pay me for my skills.) One even wanted me to type a letter for him to submit to someone about renting some property. When I refuse to do whatever it is they want and tell them I am not interested in any kind of relationship with them, they miraculously disappear from my life. They even stop speaking to me. YEAH!!!!

A man I had seen in my apartment complex twice, walking around, actually proposed marriage.  He needed my expertise to help study for some job he was interested in. And a man that I met at an art gallery told me he was separated; upon further questioning, it appears that the separation was a physical one because his wife was out of town.

UGH!!!!!!!

Please, please, powers that be, I do not want to have “IT” anymore.
