Transference

So I met this guy that reminded me of Ronan. I didn't realize it at first, but now I do. His name is even similar - Landon. He's the same height, build, facial shape, no facial hair, hair color. I went on a date with him and was absolutely smitten. I went on a second date and slept with him. Dumb, dumb move.

Long story short, he's not texting me back and I feel like I just got my heart ripped out again by the Irish Ronan. This feeling, for a man I've met twice. Transference is not a good thing, people! Me transferring my feelings for Ronan to this new dude seemed like a good idea at the time, I don't know. What a way to get over someone, right? Find someone just like them! Good plan. That was not my plan by the way, but apparently it was somewhere in my subconscious.

Aside from the fact that your feelings aren't really for them or it's really not fair to the replacement person, it can hurt you even more as well. Who knew?!

So please consider this a public service announcement. Transference is bad, bad news. Don't do it.

You may resume your regularly scheduled program.
