skipped a second date and got a series of messages re: ‘we had such good chemistry, I thought you were into me, you didn’t object etc’., and no, I didn’t stop things at the time, she was very physically pleasant and sat in my lap, wrapped her arms around me etc., but I knew before the end of the evening it wasn’t going to work. And she told a mutual friend that I was all over her, which, not really, but I guess - I didn’t push her away - and that I sent too many mixed messages… when the one message I sent was “sorry, I don’t think we’re a good match.”
and it comes down to: I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t read. Period. I’m shallow that way; I don’t care WHAT people read, it could be golden books, romance, chaucer, seuss, anything, just read, anything, ok? don’t absorb 100% of your worldview from TV.
what I’m saying is, people sometimes perceive things differently, if he can’t articulate a why, perhaps it’s embarrassing to him or he’s afraid it would embarrass you.
what a bucket of chuds
