Dang, my internet has to be down while the interesting stuff is going on around here!

Ok, so the date was fun, then he has to throw some weird **** on you at the last minute. ARG. Men can be infuriating. My guess would be he wants to see if you will get all sad and want him to stay. Of course, I don't know him, so maybe he's not manipulative like that, but it seems like a sort of manipulative thing to say AFTER you've contacted someone and told them you are ready for a relationship. I mean, he doesn't expect you to ask him to stay does he or for you to beg to go with him? Ug, men!

I do have to say that not all hetero men are like this though. (Just to stand up for the good guys out there.)

Sorry you got some rain on your parade. I was getting all excited for you until I got down to that post...oh well. At least you had a good night. We're always telling each other to take things one day at a time and that one day was a good one, I guess you could look at it like that?
