Chapter Two - 2.2 Prince William Re-visits

My girl Ms. Sunshine finally visited from Edmonton. She organized a girls’ dinner get together at the local Cactus Club. During dinner, we chattered about our relationships and goals.

One girl, Ms. Pretty, who I’ve met a couple of times before mentioned that she met someone new recently. However, she is still getting over this one guy whom she developed a relationship with six months ago. They met online and he had “disappeared” after their fifth date.

As she recalled, he had a perfect resume. Good career, doing his MBA, owned his place and is an Korean man with an English accent! However, Mr. Perfect resume started getting “busy” doing renovations on the weekends and then went on business trips. The calling then stopped.

My eyes lit up after hearing this. I then recalled previously that my potential Prince William mentioned that he did renovations on his days off. He even sews his own curtains.

I turned to Ms. Pretty and asked her if his name was William … Because if it was, I dumped that guy a week ago!

Ms. Pretty’s eyes lit up and the whole group turned toward me. Then, I asked her if he sings? She said “yes”. I told her that he sang to me on the first date, "did he sing to you too"? She nodded. All of us laugh.

Ms. Pretty mentioned that during their short lived relationship, she even had to ask Prince William to take down his profile picture off the online dating site. Prince William reluctantly complied.

To this day, Ms. Pretty was still figuring out what she did wrong to have Prince William disappeared on her like that. She says that she did notice that he was very particular about how his dishes get washed. For instance, that spinach leaves must be picked off of the plate before it goes into the dish washer.

One morning, the kitchen sink plumbing broke while Prince William was on an early morning conference call. William jumped up from his call and asked Ms. Pretty to stop washing the dishes. Eventually, William started doing renovations on the weekends and did not want Ms. Pretty to come over. Finally the trip to the east (Toronto) sealed the deal and Ms. Pretty never heard from William again.

So, what was the problem? I believed that Ms. Pretty was too nice and accommodating. Although Prince William seemed like a perfect potential boyfriend, Ms. Pretty needs to slow down. From my experience with meeting William, he could be very skilled at trying to convince a girl that he's perfect for her. Mind you, his specialty is in marketing and communications.

In my previous blog, I may not have mentioned how William wanted to do all these things with me...like traveling together, moving in together, finally finding someone he could connect with on an emotional level. All this on the first date. Too soon, too fast! Anything that comes in to quickly, runs off as quicker. My advice is too slow down and watch actions, not words.

If Prince William prefers to sewing his curtains on his weekend-off than to see Ms. Pretty, there is something wrong with that picture. He’s just not that into you.
