Yes, of course I have been compelled by someone, plenty of times. But the reason he struck me as creepy, Elsa, is that he refuses to listen to what you plainly told him: That you are not available right now.

I don’t get it, frankly. When women write you letters about their obsessions with men who are unavailable, you read them the riot act. Then this guy is doing the same thing and you talk about how you understand bc of the astrology. Who’s to say that these women who write to you are not similarly compelled by the astrology? And even if they and this salesman are compelled by the astrology, doesn’t there come a point when they all have to say, “You know what, it ain’t going to happen for whatever reason. This person is not available to me right now, let me move on”?
