What part of "My name is not Helen" do you not get?
Dearest patroness Aphrodite,
It's not often you choose to make your mark in my life, so I have to ask... What, exactly, are you trying to get at? Seriously. Now, I know that, when I'm not actively in a relationship, you give me usually a few months of quiet on the suitor front (sometimes more, sometimes less), and then usually throw about three potential seekers my way--naturally all at the same time. -_- But this... this comes as a bit of overkill.
This time, no sooner had I marked myself again as a single woman, but it was like throwing chum into shark-infested waters. For one thing, there was the instant outpouring of support from people (and, curiously enough, nothing that I saw for my most recent ex, even though he made the motion public first). And then... THEN I get a good two dozen people (no exaggeration!) suddenly wanting to chat me up and wiggle their ways into my life. No fewer than six remain willing to keep their hats in the ring. SIX! I will still allow them all their fair chance, but still...
Even for you, patroness, this seems a bit excessive. I'm not sure if you're trying to bless me or curse me--but, then again, I know what happens to your favored ones. I remember what you did with Paris and Helen. I remember the fate of poor Adonis. Usually, the results aren't pretty.
So, again, I ask... What is it that you're trying to do?
