Uncle Ben's Deep Fried Advice - Dating (Part 2)

Dear Uncle Ben,

You were right. Musicians only care about their gigs. Even when they are the ones that mention "call me if you're in town and we can hang out." and when you do they don't answer, so you leave a voicemail. In the voicemail you even mention that you have a birthday present for them(NON SEXUAL--I know what you're thinking). Then they text message you, without the balls to reject you in person saying they are "heading to my dad's place.

"AAAARGGGHHHHHH!!!!
BLLLAAAHHHHH!!!
WHHYYYY??

Why even suggest a possible meeting if you really didn't want one?

Sincerely,
Agravated

Dear Agravated,

What can I say other than I told you so. Instead of dancing around pointing my finger and laughing at you I will repost the advice Nadia left as a comment the last time we talked about the "sweet, cute, musician." As a frame of reference Nadia has lived and worked within the Austin music scene for the last 10 years. In that time she has dated and slept with her fair share of singers, guitarist, bassists, and drummers. The lady know your pain all to well.

"DON'T DATE MUSICIANS. Seriously! You can bone a musician all day long, but [a] possible relationship is more work than what it's worth. Have your fun on the side with the least amount of expectation and you'll have a great time."

If you want to peg an section of Creatives to date try writers. We have our own quirks and fidelity issues; the latter of which revolve around our craving for living life to the fullest. Fortunately when we do lie, and we do, it is believable and credible. If it's not then at least it's entertaining.

Take that "sweet, cute, musician" down from the shelf and let's relable him "stupid, flakey, musician." Now lock his ass in a cabinet you don't go into very often. After you've locked the door and turn away for it and repeat his new name one more time. Alright Agravated say it with me:

"Stupid"

"Flakey"

"Musician"

There now don't you feel better. If you don't mabe this will help.
