Will I never learn? How having an open mind is a waste of time...

What's the number one rule, kids? (at least for me...) don't. date. scorpios. well he was a scorpio rising. and it went very much the same as it would have if he was a November born scorpio. He wanted me to wear a certain type of high heel. He wanted me to wear red shiny lipstick and went into detail about why. He had a script for every occasion. And I said "you've known me for a couple hours. Do I seem like a person that can be scripted?" "no. that's part of the appeal." suuuuure. so he was totally gung-ho and all about making me his girlfriend. He pouted when we parted ways. He pushed me to express and open up. And 2 days later he disappeared. Frankly I'm grateful because it saves me the time of telling him how annoying it is to be scripted all the time.

Ooooooh Mercury, why you gotta do me like that?

I know you non astrology peeps scoff at my planetary rantings and musings, but I'm telling you there is something to this stuff. This was the most brutal Mercury retrograde I have ever experienced. It wasn't so much about things breaking and communication going wonky as it was deep fears coming up and biting me in the ass. for several weeks. It was emotionally exhausting. Also during this period several people I had either been on a single date with, or had been talking to about meeting, just disappeared completely. And look, no tears Ma. On the flipside, as soon as Mercury went direct, a bunch (like more than 5!) guys that I have not heard from in MONTHS appeared bearing texts on my phone as though no time had passed. Am I stupid, guys? really? um....nope. I'm not. Then one of the ones I didn't answer (Oh wait, I didn't answer any of them) friend requested me on Facebook. Let's review that rule. never never never never Facebook with a guy you are dating or going to date or having met yet or whatever. never. no. just don't. the end. I swear I have never been so depressed as I was during Mercury retrograde. And now that its over I feel like myself again. Its really bizarre. But its good that I'm back to no bullshit. The bad news is that I was SO DONE with bullshit that I deleted my dating account so I really don't have any new dating stories for the time being. A Hiatus? maybe. I think I'm going to reincarnate as an asexual plant next time...
