For the most part I have gotten together with the providers that have caught my eye, but there is one provider that I have been wanting to hook up with but no matter how hard I try I just can't close the deal. Something always happens n the fact that I just can't get her makes me want her more. Have u guys experienced this? Or is it just me? Should I continue trying to hook up or just give up altogether, any advice would b great

Ok dude, that's a stalker mentality. You-dont-need-her. There are lots of beautiful women out there. The more aggressively you pursue this one, the less likely she'll want to see you. Move on. --
For any reason. It's not that hard to schedule with a provider who wants to see you. Definitely move on because sometimes girls say stuff like, "I'm not available" instead of, "no, I won't see you" because it is safer and she hopes you'll move on.
She may well be putting you off, in which case your persistence is probably annoying her. OTOH, it could be she's just busy, or a ditz but it's impossible to know since you haven't shared those details.
I know of a great gal I met at an M&G years ago and wanted to see ever since. But she's also a real-life lingerie model and a major flake. So she's be out of touch for long periods and sometimes wouldn't respond at all, so I dropped all my efforts. I started referring to her as "the elusive one."
Then I found out we were going to be in the same city at the same time and I was able to book her. Man, was it worth the wait.
So you never know.
More than a few super-duper gals have caught my eye and some even hinted that they might come by my burg and entice me; but it never was. Then they retire and it's: "Oh well...." time.
(One such gal was named for a famous European capital.)
It's a story old as time, and subject to more songs than you can shake a stick at.
Here's a particularly good one, all metaphorical of course, but that's what you'd expect from Mr. McGuinn, n'est-ce pas?
One of the best Byrds songs that never got enough credit for being so. Saw McGuinn at a county fair in the mid-west a few years back. Playing in the baking mid-day sun to about 50 people. My my my how times have changed

What a shame they are not honored as a national treasure today.
To tell you the truth, I'm amazed Mcguinn is still plugging away; and I'm gratified to hear that he is.
I couldn't agree more. And the thing is he looks and sounds great. I liked him at the Dylan 30th Anniversary concert too hard to imagine how long ago that was (has anyone seen my park bench and cardigan?).
What a shame my son's generation is now going to have to reminisce about runners up on American Idol - good thing is he won't have to wait so long. BTW, what a cool way you connect the OP with this song with the theme of the post. Album rock radio would be impressed. Oh,what's an album?

In this movie clip that takes place in the 50's, Kurt (Dreyfuss) is in the back seat of a car and sees a beautiful flirtatious blond at a traffic stop light, then becomes infatuated with her when she smiles and says something through the window that he doesn't quite hear (see 1:15). Funny how the pursuit of meeting her becomes his motivation throughout the rest of the film and it never fully materializes)
How often does it happen that we want something all the more when we don’t initially get it, or maybe had a brief glimpse or taste of it without fully realizing the result. Good question, though, who hasn't become infatuated with someone at one time or another? (Be careful not to cross the line and become a stalker.) After a few tries, if it doesn't materialize, move on to anotherNostalgia - sigh - I suppose. Or as I like to think of it, George Lucas' best work ever.

Years back, when albums almost went the way of the dinosaurs, audiophiles listened closely to CD's and decided that vinyl albums if mastered properly were superior in sound. More than one superstar musician has said that vinyl is closer to the actual studio sound than CD's.
I've kept my albums in very good condition, and the audiophile equipment I bought 30 years ago still sounds excellent. Some albums fetch outrageous prices by collectors. It's sad to see musicians you once admired working county fairs, though. It could be worse. When the Rolling Stones sought out Muddy Waters to do some work with him, they found him painting houses.Thanks for advice and it seems that this thread has completely veered off course. But that's the way the ball bounces but I have gotten this current provider cuz I found another one.
Oh, sorry -- that part is easy. I'd join the chorus of 'find someone else' This has happened to all of us. One of the great revelations in my life is that 'playing hard to get' was not 'playing hard to get' - it was you can play as hard as you want but you ain't getting any. Sounds like you have reached the same conclusion so our work is done! Enjoy... and now back to the music :
My high school band had the honor of playing as the warm up act when the Byrds came to our town. One of the biggest crowds we ever played for.
After we finished - between sets - we met Mcguin, Crosby, et al. Our lead guitarist had just bought a new Rickenbacker 12 string for this show (just like Mcguin's). He had him autograph the back by carving his name with a pen knife. Last I heard, he still has that guitar today..
Told this story to my daughters and they said. "Who?"
Sigh ... Kids!
Also my collection of underground comix.
Lord knows, the hobby has decimated my other savings.
It's not just musicians who get booted out the bottom of the success chute. A few years ago I recall seeing an interview with the guy who won an Oscar for his screenplay for The Graduate. He was bagging groceries.
Have to run right now. Cheech and Chong just came over to start painting the house.
