One Way Magic

Sometimes when you are dating, you go out with someone, and it is sort of awkward... I mean its not bad, but its not really good, you sort of have made it through the date and while you figure that you could be friends you figure that you wont be friends because you met on a date as opposed to a friend type setting. So its all good, it's no harm no foul, you're not mad at paying because its basically they are good people just not the one for you. It's all good right? Well not so much, because now, you have left and you are planning to give the 'hey it was fun, we should do this again' text fully expecting them to give you a similarly vague response when they hit you back with the 'definitely, how about tomorrow?'

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?

This my friends is the phenomenon that I call one way magic... It sucks, its basically where you had a passable or bad time on a date and someone else had them sparks. The shit is scary because not only are you now in an unrequited love situation but you have to believe the other person is crazy because hell you were on the date and you don't see how anyone could have thought that it was all of that. The bigger issue of course is what to do? How do you successfully manage a one way magic situation? Hell I don't know. What I do know is that the shit is incredibly awkward.

I mean damn have you ever tried to have a dissuasion convo with someone who was convinced that they loved you? It's nuts because one of the facts of one way magic is that the person that is in love with you does not know you. They sort of just fast forward through the fact that they want to get married and start a steakhouse with you even though you are a vegan. They sort of fast forward through the fact that you are in no way compatible. And please for the love of God, (and yes this is more of a male thing,) don't sleep with the one way magic person. That sets shit completely off the deep end. All of a sudden all rationality is out of the window because even if you could only perform for 7 seconds they will have come 3 times. There are no wins in this shit... Basically the best advice I can give is leave before it becomes fatal attraction. or test at the end of the date how someone feels so you just don't call afterwords, because once you get involved in one way magic there is only one way for it to end, and that is ugly. Either you are ugly, or the situation gets ugly. either way, if you try to stay positive like I do, it sucks...
