Flirts
In the past two months since Snow has been away I keep finding myself in bad situations with men flirting with Essie and not knowing how to politely decline the advances without hurting the other’s feelings. I know it’s wishy washy… and odd perhaps as Snow still wont return for another four months. But I made a promise to wait for him, and Essie isn’t the sort to not wait or start messing around with a number of lovers.
And so I’m left in situation after situation where a man makes an advance and at first I play along simply because I think it’s a bit of fun… and then I find somehow that apparently smiling to a compliment means I’m ready to make out. I have to push myself away, and then things become awkward.
What I can’t really understand is why so many men have decided to flirt with Essie or desire more… is it because they know Snow is gone now so they think I am easier to break? Is it because of my new fancy smancy title as leader of the fae? Is it because the more I avoid, the more they desire? Or is it because I just smile too much as Essie making it easier to approach me as, dare I say it, an easy target.
I’ve become a bit meaner towards men, not terribly, but a little more firm towards the ones I sense are flirting with me. But there are some who clearly are determined to change my mind while Snow is gone, and it’s rather insulting in some ways. In one instance I was purposely talking about how much I missed Snow and the male tried to kiss me anyway. Blarg!
I suppose I should be flattered by all the male attention (and even female attention) I’ve gotten lately. Sometimes there are a few who make me wish that I was more willing to play around. But a promise is a promise…. and Snow is well worth the wait.
