Last week we had someone come and see us about renting the cottage until the end of September. He was very confident and effervescent and even offered to upgrade our Internet to the unlimited package as he said his girlfriend needed it for a project she was working on in the evenings.
They came around together once. The idea was just for her to stay in the cottage, but she did not say a word or ask a question. I got the distinct feeling when they were here that she was not too keen on the idea and was being steamrolled into it.
They were supposed to get back to us by Saturday as to when she was going to move in but we did not hear from them. Today I send a message and get a reply saying that they have fallen out and she is not talking to him anymore. All plans for the cottage are now on hold.
Somehow both John and I knew that this was going to happen so it is not a big surprise. The man reminded us both of a friend of ours who was always confident and great fun but was quite hopeless when it came to romantic partners as he made decisions on their behalf and then wondered why the women got annoyed.
