Well, they do have a nice mask that they keep on to get you hooked. The games have begun. Any time that you try to get away, like gnawing off your foot from a trap or something they tighten the bolts. They tell you, "Oh you must be imagining things" I would NEVER NEVER do anything like that, I CARE ABOUT YOU. Till, they say those fateful words.... I LOVE YOU. OH MY GOD, now what do you do? They have gone and done IT!!!! They have hooked you in. Love is the commodity that WE are ALL supposed to want, need and use to show off to our friends and family as validation of our self worth and being. They have hooked us in and WHAT do we do. They haven't really done anything BAD yet so we go with the flow. It feels good, we are flying high on the endorphins being released. We are validated as a good person, our self worth has also shot up 10 notches. This person has done lots for us in a very SHORT amount of time. Could our intuition that is trying to tell us "Danger Will Robinson danger" be right? NAH. There is too much on the pro column right now. The so called "honeymoon period" has begun. All the fun that is going on. Your friends are jealous. Little do they know or suspect. They may be jealous NOW but they won't ever be AGAIN that is for sure. How much work they put into this alter ego of theirs. To hook you, should you feel flattered, in the beginning when the "small incidents" happen you do feel flattered so that you don't break down and cry and fall apart. You would start questioning your very existence and all of your values and morals. How could I not see how this person was, etc... Trust me, these are SICK SICK SICK people that look for prey. They want a particular type of person that fits a certain profile that fulfills their needs. Like pieces to a puzzle in a sense, so that they can then take the mask OFF.
