Why don't you like me?

Overheard

Girl 1: “What? What’s wrong? You don’t like the jacket?”

Girl 2: “No, I love the jacket.  It’s the jacket that doesn’t like me.”

***

This got me thinking. What are some of the things that I love, but sadly they do not reciprocate those feelings? Here’s my list.

1) Apparently, most of the food, in the world, today.

2) Zach Braff.

3) Very high heels. I heart you. Why do you hate my feet and my sense of balance so much?

4) Technology. Like relationships, it all starts out so promising and then BAM! one day you woke up? And DON’T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE THING OF WHY OR HOW OR WHEN IT ALL WENT WRONG. And you sit there with a radio on your shoulders and fire in your eyes chanting over and over and over again, “But, I looooooove you. Please, don’t do this to me.”

5)  Rayban Wayfarers. Because I adore Rachel Bilson’s sense of style and want it for my own. But those damn sunglasses hate me so much they would start their very own Go Fug Yourself type blog solely based on my face.

6) Travelling. I do. I want to see the whole world. But the thing about Travelling is that she really does not like the way I hate her best friend–THE PLANE. I think she just needs to invent a different friend–one of those machines that transports you to Australia in like a second–and then this really could be the beginning of a beautiful love story.

7) Topshop, Anthropologie, Victoria’s Secret. But will they move countries for me? No.

8) Grey. Yet,  it refuses to do absolutely nothing for my complexion.

9) That time of the month. I love it because it reminds me that everything is working properly. The feeling is definitely not mutual though. I can tell because of the pain it inflicts on me.

10) Boys. Seriously? Why don’t you like me?

What is something you like, but that doesn’t like you back?

    My skin. It’s so pale and pretty and I love it. But I can’t get it to be fricking clear.

    I am obsessed with salt and vinegar chips. However, they ruin my mouth.

    Any remotely pouffy skirt. On my short body, it looks like I’m playing dress up.
