Remember Who It's About (Not You)
By El Camino (El Camino's third in a series of three dating tips)
My sister dates rock stars. She can't help it. I think that growing up in Seattle back when it was a city breathing rock and roll left her with an addiction. Personally, I don't understand how a woman with her intelligence, charm, confidence and beauty can spend so much time on those nomadic morons. But then, if a chick rock star ever batted her glittery eyes at me, I'd probably spring into action faster than you can say "Yeah Britney, I think you're more talented AND more beautiful than Madonna."
Recently my sister began seeing the drummer in a very well known bubble-gum pop band. [Note from KingLove - we've been asked to keep this popular band with hungry lawyers unnamed]. Since she travels frequently for work, it was a nice arrangement: she could catch up with him a few times a month, and they would spend some time before and after shows.
The thing is, the guy was very confused. Everyday he was mobbed by adoring teenage fans clutching Ken dolls clad in specially sewn rocker gear replicated to look like him. Everyday a new "Meet your idol" winner would weep her way on to the tour bus and demand that he wear a t-shirt bearing her name for the obligatory snapshots. He just didn't know how to handle a real girl.
This poor bastard couldn't figure out how to just be with a girl and let things happen. So, on the last night she saw him, he managed to
A. Leave the bar when she started talking to another boy,
B. Come back to the bar and ask to talk to her
C. Get kicked out of the bar in front of all his friends
D. Begin weeping and run away from her car while wearing full stage gear, AND
E. Leave a two minute message on her cell phone (now burned on CD!) explaining why he was such a freak, citing issues such as lifestyle, unrequited love, and the fact that he was fully trippin'.
The crux of the situation should be apparent. The issue is, a real girl (or boy) does not care that much about any problems you may have adjusting as a result of an over-inflated ego. Whether you're a rock star, a winner in the great IPO sweepstakes, or just a really good swimmer, the person you're currently dating probably doesn't care that much. They may find it interesting, but they really want you to find them interesting!
So go find them very interesting. There'll be time for your stuff, don't worry!
