He Wooed me with Multi Level Marketing

Yes... you read the title correctly...

One of the guys I was interested in, have been for some time, but we just recently got together for the first time... He's a nice guy, has his crap together... owns 2 businesses and really is on top of everything he does...

So... our first meeting was nice, but un-eventful... we met for lunch and talked about alot of different things. We left it so that we would chat with each other again soon, and hang out more.

He wasn't one of those fly-by-night characters either... we did stay in touch!!! So... about 2 weeks go by and we had planned a date for thursday. (it's monday of that week)

Tuesday, i hear nothing from him... a little odd, but i had been trying to get confirmation as to whether or not we were still on.

Wednesday morning comes around and we start chatting... I mention our hang out (which i thought would be more of a date) and he mentions he has a meeting with a client. I was like... oh... well... i am sorry to hear that... (but i understand... he does own 2 businesses) i wish him good luck on the meetings...

He then contacts me through txt messages and said the plan has changed.. he's going to a "build a better business" seminar and doesn't want to go alone, so he asked me if i could go with him. It was close to where i was working, but he didn't really tell me what the meeting was all about. I agreed to go, because... well... i wanted to hang out with him.

So... I got there and everyone was friendly and stuff... i was like... OKAY... i can deal with this... Then it happened... we went into the presentation and it was for a network marketing thing... Selling products, getting people recruited, etc... you know how those pitches are... full of energy, comedy, and "logic".

I am normally a sucker for those things because i see the potential... but i am not a good sales guy and don't want to damage my reputation with my friends/family by doing a hard sell... HOWEVER... i did sign up...

The guy that brought me there thinks that i signed up because it's an awesome deal... but i did not! I signed up, because, well... he wanted me to, and i wanted to spend time with him. He was happy, and so i was happy... I already knew i was not good at these things... but hey... i am only a guy right...

The next couple weeks, i was told about how he was going to use one of his businesses to ensure we were all successful... (hasn't happened... and every time we are SUPPOSED to talk about it... it never seems to come up) and every time i talk to him now.. the conversations are dominated (though not exclusively) about this multi-level marketing thing...

Every time i want to meet and hang out... he mentions that we do it at the office, which, is every time i have seen him since...

So... i confronted him on this... told him i have been wanting to hang out with him and possibly date... that's when he said... oh... he's not interested in dating... just looking for good friends...

seriously? *sigh*

I said... okay... well... friends it is... (if someone wants to be my friend... how can i really say no or not want that.. he didn't do anything wrong right?) But since that conversation... i have lost interest in being more than friends... which is good i guess...

The epilog is... ofcourse... i am signed up for this MLM campaign, out a few hundred dollars... and everyone i do talk to about this thing is not biting... so i am labeled a poor performer... mostly because i have a conscious and don't push people.

i mentioned this to my aunt... and she said... "OH MY GOD... WORST DATE EVER!"


ya got that right!
