The Holiday PoP uPs

It’s the Holiday Season and one thing is for sure, it is the season for Ex-Boyfriends and Ex-Men of Interest to pop up like they just talked to you last week.

You know how sometimes you surf the internet to do research, check and send emails, waste time going to your favorite websites and you of course stop by this http://takeme2cruisecontrol.blogspot.com/ blog.

Then, out of no where, when you are in the middle of reading an article, an ad pops up in the middle of the screen and interrupts your flow. So, what do you do? Your two options are to search for the “X” to click on it to get rid of the ad or you have to somewhat read the ad to figure out how to make it disappear.




This is exactly how a number of single women feel about men who pop up around the holiday after we have NOT spoken to you in who knows how long. And yes ladies, it happens to all of us. For some reason men want to begin to show back up around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years when the weather gets cold. Look at how many babies are born around the end of spring and in the summer. I’m sure a large number of these babies are the result of a holiday Pop Up.



I really don’t understand why men think that around the holidays we want to hear from you after we have NOT heard from you in months. I mean if you are not dressed as Santa bearing gifts, then wait until the spring to say: “How You Doin?!!!“



Guys, if you decide to text or call around the holidays, then Ladies we need to treat them the same way we treat our computer screen pop ups. Do one of two things both having the same purpose. Either ignore or entertain.

If guys get the courage to call, we as women need to commit to pressing the IGNORE button and sending him to voicemail so he can leave a message. (Chances are he will not leave a message because he doesn’t want anything)



Or, be cordial and entertain the call… all while trying to figure out what to say to get him off the phone. Regardless of which option you choose, the goal is to: Make him disappear because if he were worth the time, he would have been around all along…Again, Guys, get a clue!!!
