My first reaction is "what is wrong with me?"
This guy contacts me off Yahoo. We meet last night, just hung out and talked and took a walk with his dogs. At the end of the night he kissed me and said he'd call. I wrote back when I got home and said I had a good time. He writes back this morning and said he had to be honest, didn't feel anything more for me than being friends, and when he kissed me and got turned on that that was a bad thing, but he was too chicken to tell me last night.
What the hell? If someone sees me as being "just friends" why the hell would he kiss me, and why would ENJOYING IT be a bad thing?
Yahoo calculated my age wrong too. I entered my proper birth year but it knocks a year off my age, which is still 3 years above his cutoff. He wants someone 28-40. I'm 44, he's 36. He seemed surprised when he asked how old I was and said 44. He goes "your profile says 43." Big f'ing whoop. I was out of his age range either way, so why did he contact me?
Oh, and he asked several times if I wanted to come to his apartment. So, in his opinion I'm nice, I'm physically attractive, he wants to take me home (which I didn't take him up on) but he only sees me as "a friend."
Story of my dating life. I'm SOOOOOO SICK of hearing "you're nice, but...."
My gut reaction is to write off all guys as jerks again, crawl back into withdrawal mode and hole up in my house.
