You definitely have a point. I also won't deny my shallow qualities. Let me clarify -- lots of people use this app for quick sex. We started talking and agreed that we weren't looking for casual sex. I kind of lol'd when you said "hookup longevity" because those two things don't go together in my mind? I'm more looking for a friend or a relationship. I want the next guy I sleep with to care about me, so I want to get to know him first. When we were texting he kept on talking about how pretty I was, and he said he was 6ft tall, etc. And that wasn't true at all. We don't live extremely similar lifestyles. Going into meeting him I was expecting romantic potential. After thinking for a while, I decided that we should just be friends.

I would still want to be friends if it weren't for his accent. I actually thought that maybe we would connect better if it weren't for it. I guess that makes me want to hear him talk more?

I'm used to guys that laugh at rape jokes and I'd never talked to someone who shared my feelings towards it. We shared lots of viewpoints and I felt a connection with him on an emotional level and I could see myself opening up to him more than with almost anyone else... He's slightly anxious just like I am, and he's had some hard life experiences like I have, so I think that he'd understand me well. Maybe because I'm so lonely and I've never met a guy that I really felt I could talk to before, it seemed like he'd be a great person to confide in. It feels like he would understand me better than anyone else, even my best girl friends that don't understand the trust issues I deal with due to my abuse and everything. I for some reason feel like he's the only person that I've met that has the potential to understand me? I tell myself that's not true but that's how I feel?
