A bit wary even, that that person isn't looking for who I'm about, but rather what I look like and how far I'm willing to go for them. I told him I'm busy and I am.. he just suggested things we can do because I said I'd like to do something together like bowling. He made me uncomfortable when I saw him last because he asked for a kiss. I think this shouldn't be requested, just a natural thing once you acutally feel a bond of some kind. A few coffee dates isn't enough for that. Sometimes I'm ready to give up on the idea of finding friendship and real love with a man.
It's tough out there, I really did not expect to find someone like my current boyfriend. You have to trust your gut though. There are actual red flags here, and often we discount them because we feel like we are being too hard on someone and not giving them a chance but these are instincts meant to protect us. It may just be that he likes a faster pace but that still makes you two incompatible.
