Dear Blake,
I recently met someone while on vacation. The story begins like this, I saw this woman from across the bar and I was immediately attracted to her. When I went over and introduced myself, she told me that she was from San Fernando Valley and we immediately began to hit it off. For the next three days we spent every minute together prompting her to say that she has never been this happy, which made me believe that this was more than a vacation fling. However as soon as she arrived home I only heard from her to say she wants nothing to do with me. My question is not so much as to how I make it work, but more importantly as to why she would do that and what changed?
Signed, Mike
From Boston, Massachusetts

Dear Mike,
Vacation romances are quite common because people seem to emotionally let their guards and unknowingly become more open to a relationship. But in your case, the termination of your whirlwind fling might have saved your life, because she’s probably married to a jealous bodybuilder that would happily tear you in half. Or she could be a female serial killer, that was taking some time off from her brutal hobby to see what it felt like to spend time with people that still had a heartbeat when she walked away from them. You might have become literally head over heels, if she got behind you and swung an axe at you neck. A less violent explanation for your dismissal is maybe she’s like the rest of the country that finds that the accent the people from your city speaks in is irritating. So, if empty-headed materialistic bimbos from California get nauseated by the way you beer guzzling sports addicts talk, maybe it’s time the residents from Beantown start pronouncing words as they were written. On the other hand, she could’ve ended the relationship because for some reason she didn’t think it would work. Either/or. I hope this helps.
Blake
