Mike from Peru Chapter

I’m so drawn to Mike. Ugh.

At the same time I’ve given up on him. I recently learned a few things about him and I know we can never be. I mean, I knew that before, because we have such a big age gap and height gap. But, he is British with a Canadian passport, he is cute, he is funny, he is smart, he is interesting and interested. I really really like him, especially when I first met him.

He is so funny. Funnier than I realized before. Maybe he is funny because he is messed up. Like many comedians. Like Sam.

He is often a loner. Not a team player. He does not travel well. Not very adventurous. Doesn’t swim for some reason.

Overall, not the companion I seek.

I read up on his sign. He is a Virgo. What an annoying sign. Likes to be taken cared of. Likes to stay at home. Overly critical of self and others.

I feel a bit defeated that I seem not able to attract him right off the bat, even though, duh, I have a boyfriend, I’m 11 years older, have very different temperaments, much shorter.

But, I read that Virgos take time to build friendships first. As much as hate that he is not super attracted to me already, I’m also glad that it’s this way. It’d be much worse that he starts hooking up with other girls.

Step 1 to attracting a Virgo man – Show how funny and quirky you are.
Step 2 to attract a Virgo man – Have good manners.
Step 3 to attract a Virgo man – Be open about your values.
Step 4 to attract a Virgo guy – Support him.
Step 5 to getting a Virgo guy – Be kind and loyal

I think I already do the above. I’m acting as a supportive friend. I’m very open and honest. He laughs at my jokes.

Part of me believes that we can be good friends for a long time. Then again, he is not one to keep in touch, so who knows.

My ideal situation for at the end of the chapter is to have a solid friendship with him, one where we both keep in touch with each other.
