Men confound me!

Interestingly enough, I just heard back from The Genius. The communication seemed to have stopped the beginning of August when he asked me out and I declined stating I was busy. Then, out of the blue, he wrote to me.

He wrote, “guess our contact has sort of diminished, and I sort of sensed where that was going anyway, but I thought I'd check back and see if you want to go out and do something casual - hike? drinks? - or if you just want to let it slide. Anyway, even if not (and btw, there's no need to explain it), I'd still be curious to hear how you're doing, chat / penpal with ya if/when you feel like it”

So I wrote back to him that I had started dating another guy and wasn’t sure how that affected his offer.

And, I got a long email saying he figured that was the case due to the drop off of communication. Confused look on my face because he stopped communicating, not me! Now, I was planning on cutting it off after his next email or call and he didn’t! Maybe he was psychic???? Any way, the rest of the email was sweet and complimentary… “I think you're fantastic - a real serious 'catch'. Hopefully the guy you're dating is sharp enough to recognize and appreciate that.“

I really do have to make it a habit of breaking up with guys directly. I like the nice compliments I get after. I think I’m turning into a cold hearted bitch. Maybe?
