The story behind the name

You may wonder why I chose to call this “Love Spell.” And you may not, but you get to hear the story anyways. :)

The name came about from a perfume that I wear. There is truth to that name Love Spell. When you wear it, men seem to lose all inhibitions around you, and it really seems that you have caste a spell upon them. I originally bought it because I liked the smell, but I continue buying it because men love it.

The first time I wore it was on my first trip to Chicago, and I had men falling over each other trying to talk to me. It was like a scene from junior high and college, rolled into one. Men were “fighting” to sit next to me, go to lunch with me, buy me drinks—you name it, they wanted to be the one to do it with me. I even had one guy dragging complete strangers over to me so they could smell me!

I would like to say that I am so attractive and have such a great personality that they were drawn to me solely because of who I am, but I am more realistic than that. I kept getting compliments on how [insert adjective here, i.e. great, wonderful, delicious, sexy] I smelled. So, I like to think that the perfume got me noticed and the winning personality kept them coming back. ;)

I decided to test my theory that the perfume had something to do with the attraction and it is a definite--when I wear the perfume, men notice me more often. Unfortunately though, it attracts the taken men at a higher rate than the single men. So, I wear it a little more sparingly these days, and not at all on business trips any longer—too many lonely, married men looking for a warm body to share their bed. I usually only wear it now when I am out with friends, actively looking to meet someone.

When my friends and I started seriously discussing the idea of me writing a book, someone suggested naming it after the perfume. And since many of the most recent stories happened while I was wearing it, I saw it as a fitting tribute.

The story behind the story

I have known for a long time that taken men are attracted to me. The first time that one approached me I was only seventeen. As the years have gone by, the attraction has gotten worse, to the point that one of the first things I ask when a guy starts hitting on me is, “Are you married, engaged, or in any other way seriously committed to someone else?” Far too often, the answer is that they are married. The question, “Are you single?” doesn’t cut it with these men. Too many see themselves as single if there is not a wedding band on their finger. Others, I know up front that they are married, and they just don’t care. In some cases, I have even known their wives/girlfriends!

The things that happen to me are things that I truly thought only happened to people in the movies or in books. Same with a lot of my friends—they likely wouldn’t believe these things if they hadn’t seen how taken men react to me, firsthand.

I travel quite a bit with my job, and I always return with at least one story of some guy making a fool of himself. The more I tell my friends, the more they keep telling me that I need to write it down, put it in a book, something. So, with lack of time to concentrate on writing a book at the moment, I am going to write everything here. If one of these days I have some spare time (yeah, right) and feel the need to get published, everything will be here, with all the sordid details, waiting to be arranged into book format.

Okay, now I will take comments...

Okay, so things got a little ugly on the comment board for the last post--some anonymous person making some rude comments. So, those are gone. But, you may start commenting on here now. Just remember, "anonymous," I have control and can delete you again.

Welcome!

Welcome to my second blog, Love Spell. On here you will get to read about all of the experiences I have with taken men. By taken, I mean married, engaged, or seriously dating someone. Up front, I would like to say that I do not condone infidelity; in fact, it disgusts me. I have always and will always turn these men down. For some reason though, these men are very attracted to me, something that I have tried to figure out unsuccessfully over the years. It has led to some pretty funny experiences, which is the reason for this blog. Sit back, read, and enjoy. And remember, I always appreciate comments!
