Today I signed on to my AOL instant message account to catch up with a co-worker when I was notified that I had five messages from someone's handle I didn't recognize. I viewed the messages and then realized it was a guy from my past. Someone who at first raised my expectations of college guys or at least guys younger than me who knew how to treat a woman. Eventually I didn't see anything prospering between us because I wasn't as interested in him as he was me.
Truth is, he made me feel like a cougar.
One thing about this guy is that he is extremely persistent so even though I've tried to casually avoid dumping him, he won't give up.
Facebook IM was his preferred method of communication when I didn't return his texts and now he knows I have an AOL account. Never mind that I almost never use the account, I began to wonder if I wanted him to be able to message me.
It's at that moment that I noticed the nice message that allows you to click is the message you receive are inappropriate or unwanted.
Unwanted, maybe but seemingly not enough for me to block him entirely even though the last doorbell just delivered a corny attempt at flirting. Besides, I still have a good belief that all his efforts to make it in NYC will amount to something one day (I'm talking Sean John status) and if I get to benefit from that in anyway because I've "always been there from a distance." So be it.
For that, I'll be a cougar.
