Communication is key to a relationship, even at the beginning stage. I would find it refreshing to be asked what I think. It is true that things are awkward if I don't feel the same as the other person. I recall an occasion when I was cowardly noncommittal when asked about seeing a guy again and then I emailed ASAP afterward so as not to leave things hanging for a day. Not my proudest moment.<br /><br />Perhaps Daniel was dealt the same situation--too nice to let me down in person.<br /><br />I do get it. The frustrating part is that he probably knew upon saying hello that I was not a possible match. Still, we spent three hours together. He could have ducked out with an excuse before we went on our walk. <br /><br />I suppose I expected a clear yes from him, indicating that he was interested, too. I misread the situation. In truth, I may not have been as daring with my question if I'd known there was more than one possible answer.<br /><br />Like I said at the outset of my post, coffee can be so confusing.Aging Gaylyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886888900957765438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857795538755708479.post-12201456406084614682014-03-02T18:09:22.067-08:002014-03-02T18:09:22.067-08:00RG, I don't blame you for taking a more direct...RG, I don't blame you for taking a more direct approach near the end of the date. Let's be honest. Both of you were looking for something in the other. You may have found it or not, but I think there was no point in waiting around to see if one or the other would call. Forget the games. <br /> <br />I don't know if this helps, but I would have done the same thing. You're not children. You can both deal with honesty and directness. <br /><br />By the way, how would you have felt if he'd said to you what you said to him? Just curious. That might indicate if you did the right thing or not.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.com
