It's a fine line

You know, whether someone is a stalker, or a cute admirer. That line is often very thin. Just ask Ted Mosby:


My recent love life tests this theory. I went out with a guy last Friday. The date was "meh." (Not bad, not good, just okay. But if you're Goldilocks, that really works). 

I didn't go to Institute (Bible Study) on Tuesday night, and at 10:00 pm my doorbell rings. Did he really just come over to my house? (I shouldn't be surprised because he did this last week when I conveniently slipped out of Institute while talking to him because of a phone call). 

Who just walks over to someone's house on a Tuesday night at 10:00 pm? That's why we have cell phones. So I can conveniently ignore your phone call. It's a little harder when you come to my front door. 

My roommate informs me that he's here and I groan in disgust. She graciously says, "I'll tell him you're asleep." Bless her!

You see, if I liked the guy, this would totally fall under the cute admirer category. But because I'm just not that into him, it pushes him over to the totally creepy category. 

It may be irrational, but what do you expect? Irrationality is really the only thing I do consistently. 

Back to the fine line of creepy stalker/cute admirer. Sometimes I really want someone to serenade me with a song that has my name in it. The only song that I've found with my name in it is this one:

Did you listen to it? Totally worth your time. 

If someone serenaded me with this song, they'd automatically be in the creepy stalker category, right? I mean it's about stalking a girl named Melanie. There's just no way around it. But sometimes, I think it would just be so funny that it could push someone into the cute admirer category. 

Future suitors take note. I'd like to see where I shake out on this one. But it's a big risk. I hope you're up to it.
