A couple of years ago I was involved with someone who I completely fell for... we'll call him Romeo, because he was one. A womanizing Romeo, I've come to learn, but he did have his qualities, and considering how private of a person he is, he shared quite much with me.

Men complain about women being dramatic, but he was the dramatic one, complete with extra baggage that airlines would tack on a hefty service charge. Things had ended badly and it took me a long time to get over him.

Over a year had passed when we were back on speaking terms, and only by accident. I had texted everyone on my phone list when the Station Fires were going on. Damn that cell phone! Okay, it's my fault that I never deleted his number in the first place... So, we started talking again once in a while and it was fine. I was fine speaking with him and no longer wanted to send the dogs after him anymore.

So, as we were on this friendship term, I started helping him out with tango steps that he had learned. Again, I was fine with this, indifferent actually, but still nice. But he? Not so sure. He's been attentive ever since, even flirtatious and a bit forthcoming... initiating phone calls and texts. Fascinating how when women pull away, guys want them more.

Ohhh, so what happened? Did I succumb to his Romeo tactics? Wooing me with whispers in Spanish?
