He tried so so hard to convince me that long distant relationships can work...
I know they can, but I still choose not to engage in a LDR. I even told him that if I were in a LDR and I ended up meeting someone local, I would dump the LDR in favor of the local one.
I mean, he's a really nice person... I hope I didn't hurt his feelings, but that's how I honestly feel. If I had the chance to have a physical relationship with someone I would pick them over an online relationship.
I think ANYONE would do that, though... (Except for him, I guess.)
I told him that I was sorry if I hurt his feelings...
I don't think I was in the wrong, but he definitely made me feel really bad. He's nice, but not what I am looking for... He doesn't set goals for himself, (says he can't because he's "handicapped") he didn't really take the time to get to know me, (we've only known each other a couple of weeks) he basically saw that I was pretty and wanted to date me based on that because we clearly don't know enough about each other to "date". I am also not physically attracted to him...
I feel like I could consider dating him if he were local, was more goal-orientated then I might have considered giving him a chance... But he's not. I don't think it's wrong to have standards. But according to him, "standards" are "closing yourself off".
I'm just a little upset. I feel like I was in the right, but I feel bad for saying what I did.
