And I can understand MJ using disguises because it must be difficult to get to know anyone if people know it's him because there is going to be chaos, first of all, so it won't even be easy to get near anyone and second, it must be difficult to know if he can trust the girl and to know what she really thinks if she knows it's him. But then on the other hand...using a disguise "too long" with someone can bcome a problem too. Because then it could be the girl falls in love with someone who is not what she thinks he is. Or it can be that it won't get anywhere because, if you are in a disguise...you can't be truthful about who and what you are, and I can just imagine that you won't be able to answer her questions and I'd imagine it to be impossible to really get to know someone who is in a disguise. How can a friendship...or even "worse"....a relationship even have a chance if she can't get to know the person because he can't be truthful about himself?! So I agree with StateOfShock about the "insult" part....I mean, if I were talking to someone and woudl fall in love with him and then I'd get the feeling he isn't being truthful and woudl be playing games...I know I'd feel insulted too and would stop all contact with that person. I think that's only natural. Anyways...what was my point? :scratch: :lol: :lol: I can't remember...:doh: :lol: I guess I was just "ranting away"...:smilerolleyes: :doh::lol: :lol:

yes and yet looking from his possible perspective, it may not have been so much of a "game" as a "creative" way he had of going about it trying to meet her. I also don't believe his first encounter with her was on the street, randomly. He had a more up close encounter with her (too many references to her eyes) and communication (too many references to "letter/s")
I tend to believe that if he used an actual disguise to actually meet her, he would have used that to comfortably and properly approach her and surely since she loves him for who (and what) he is, she would understand that, and would have been elated to see him, so I don't feel a disguise frightened her off.
On the other hand, what frightens a young girl in the street? Strange (acting) men in the street. Say, if he sent an employee (eg., decoy, P.I. etc.,) which among them is really going to say to him, "MJ I ****ed up your love life" - so instead of telling the truth of what happened, he led MJ to believe she is merely a "ghetto B" :lol: (which it sounds like to me is the last line of Can't Let Her Get Away) which if she was trying to ward off a stranger in the street, maybe she acted like just that :lol: (anyone here ever use that tactic?) and even though he says a lot of crude things in that song, he also says, "Can't Let Her Get Away", "Can't Let Go" etc., so a part of him didn't fully believe it or accept it as the "final" of who she really is. "Something about her" told him that he was right the first time he saw her and that's why he felt it was the right thing to do to go to all this to meet her.
so,
as time went on, because of his initial feelings of certainty about her, MJ didn't accept this as the "final" result of all his continuous "watching" and decided to dig deeper himself, and since he'd lost physical contact with her (address etc.) he decided to go the spiritual route via prayer and mediation.
This is when he found out that she was sincere and for real and still "all alone" by the time YANA was released and letting her know he's "still all alone" too. At the end, he shouts "gotta stop being alone!" "You and me!" "Together!" -
so by 2002, he is ready to "find her" but needs to "expand" his "search" and is now in "talks" with his "spiritual advisors" who have done all kinds of "research" into metaphysics (study of non-physical energy), and Universal Laws, Astrology (the effects of the "stars"), probably to include Numerology (vibration of numbers in the universe and which is where I'm thinking 777 comes from) and maybe he even "researched" her Jehovah's Witness history (which JW "Brothers" customarily do when they're interested in someone) and all this coupled with his own practices of meditation (inner listening to Spirit), may have brought him back around to the unfinished business of needing to get in contact with his 'cosmic match' ...
which eventually became One More Chance
Somehow she "responded" to OMC and most recently he decided to say to her, "so tell me what we're waiting for" as AFMJ pointed out - he is no longer "searching" - he seems to be back to directing his "messages" specifically
meanwhile, the girl has been finally getting the messages, can't concentrate on anything else in her life, which is unraveling at every seam and needs him to come with the quickness so she can have One More Chance at love too
and since they're "better off being together than being miserable alone"
