Dear Post Malone,

If you read this I am so sorry and I still want to meet you. However, I will be honest that this might hurt your feelings ... so don't read this ... please.

So, back to the real question, Why do I have a crush on Post Malone?

I know I'm not the only one asking themselves this question, why do I like PostMalone? I'm not a huge fan of his earlier work ... I'm not too sure why he is suddenly in all these movies and commercial. However, I can't help but feel a little light headed when he suddenly appears on t.v. He even has a tattoo that says stay away on his forehead. There is a literal warning on his face and I can't seem to stop having a crush on someone that I will likely never meet.

To clarify, no it's not the money. Women don't find themselves crushing on Post Malone just because he is rich. There is no need to go around accusing young women of being gold diggers. Calling women gold diggers is usually just a result of jealously, women hatred or a combination of both.

Post Goes Pop

The traditional rapper is now singing pop music like Circles ... which I am now addicted too ... but no I'm not proud. The truth is, I rarely listen to rap. I do listen to it sometimes, but it is not often ... at all. So I only started to develop this crush on Post Malone once he started singing pop music. Which I know isn't a coincidence. It was obviously a great marketing decision for Post Malone to try a couple of Pop songs. Not that the fans are hooked ... they will probably listen to his other music now too.

First Impression

When someone first showed me a video of Post Malone singing live on stage ... I was not impressed. He had a cigarette in his hand and was obviously not sober. His dance moves seemed dainty ... I'm not totally sure what he was doing with his hands...

The bad boy with a sensitive side.

It is a common thing where women think they can 'fix' him. He is a poor damaged soul and we want to help. I am also afraid to admit this, but I think this is the reason why so many people (both men and women) end up in unhealthy and even sometimes abusive relationships.

Covered in tattoos, admits to being the bad guy ... he's got the overall look of being the bad boy. Then again ... he openly admits to his depression and polity asks people to ignore his messy hair. Most importantly, he is a singer and song writer so he is able to communicate his emotions effectively and on a re-occurring basis. This is cute, this is attractive ... this is the why I find myself having a crush on Post Malone. Not because he is rich, I mutually think his bragging about his money to be really unattractive.

However, despite the obvious signs that Post Malone obviously can't handle a serious relationship at this point in his life ... I still seem have a celebrity crush on him.

To make it obvious why it's so strange and conflicting for me ... in the song circles, one of the lyrics is actually "She thought it was special, but it was just the sex though" ... and I still have a crush on him.

On the bright side, listening to his songs does help me by hearing the guys views on unhealthy relationships ... so I am getting something out of this strange crush.
