He could have been a contender...
...but based on newly instituted guidelines he's now the latest statistic in my catch and release program.
A is a great guy. I really liked him. He has it together. I was naturally comfortable with him and really enjoyed his company. For the love of god, he was even tall!
...but when push came to shove, I just couldn't imagine going there with him. I could not risk having horrible bathtub scrubbing sex with him. That would do both of us a disservice.
I thought he got the clue on our third and final date. The vibe was just off. I was running hot and cold... but mostly cold. He was great though. The evening ended early and as he walked back to his truck after having escorted me to my front door, he even turned to say something cheesy and condescending, like "be good" or "stay out of trouble". Clearly, this was done AND done!
Nope.
Poor guy thought he did something wrong when he didn't hear from me again. Just another testament to what a good guy he is. Really. It hurt me to do it, but when he asked, I gave it to him straight and he took it like a man.

Hi MD,
I am glad that you had the courage to tell this guy the truth. I can't seem to find many guys out there that i am attracted to so i'm glad this ones still out there- not that i have been looking lately.
I just ran into my ex-boyfriend's housemate. Anxiety elvels rose, stumbled my words just wanted to run. Awkward conversations as we have nothing to talk about other then my ex-boyfriend- which i want to know nothing about. I don't want to know if he is going good or bad, then my head just starts running around in circles. These great experiments just seem so far away from my reality at the moment. How do you have the confidence to just not call these guys back, aren't you affraid they will see you again somewhere and abuse you for not calling them back. I'm so agrophobic about running into guys i have dated in my little city- and even more petrified that if i try to start living this way i will run out of guys, then what do i do?
Regards, A
