Pure Empowerment


Alright Girls, The time is yours. If what I have to say only helps one other person, than I will feel satisfied. Here's what recently happened (as in 20 minutes ago).

Last week I met a man. He was funny, smart, tall, cute. Great right? Well he asked me out for Saturday and it was a lot of fun. In fact, I was very surprised. Then on Wednesday he asked me out for lunch. Nod your head if you feel these are all good signs. Good.

Okay so after lunch i said to the undisclosed individual "Hey would you want to get together Friday," His reply "Yes, I would. But I may go home for conference. But yes, I want to"

Now its Friday. 4 p.m. Nothing. So I figure, hey he must have headed home to his mom's. I sent him a quick text around that time asking if he decided to head home. No reply.

The beauty of this day was I had just found out I got the job I have been waiting to have. In fact, I felt on top of the world. I still do. It's great.

Then around 9:45 I received a text from him. Are you excited to know what it said? His reply "No"

Alright genius I wasn't just born yesterday and there is no way you are the first guy I have gone out with. We all know what that text meant don't we? He was sending me the, "You bug me, leave me alone" sign.

Awesome. All the signs seemed to have pointed toward him being interested in me. I am not a moron and there is no way I was reading his signs wrong. Therefore I have come to the conclusion: He's bipolar OR he's a complete jerk

So what do you think I did ladies? Did I cry? Did I blame myself for being too pushy? Did I think that I am hideous and not worth any attention. NO, I did none of those and in fact I did the complete opposite.

That's right, I told the low-life tool to get a life. I told him, "I am not a confrontational person but how you acted was an inappropriate way to treat a woman, if she bothers you or not. I hope for your sake you figure out how to treat a women with a little more respect. That's all I have to say."

The reply? Nothing. Did I expect anything from a spineless wimp? Nope.

But I want to publicly thanks this none man of a man. Thank you for giving me the power to stand up to a jerk. Thank you for helping me realize the inner power I have. And thank you for letting me know you are a total tool within a week of knowing you.

This is something we girls need to learn from, men too. Treat people with respect and stop being rude. If you don't like someone, be honest. It's the least you can do. Because guess what? They have a heart like you. They have problems, like you. They have a family, values, and dreams just like you. So treat them how you would like to be treated. Didn't we learn this back in elementary school? I thought so

Maybe he missed 1st grade.
