No his name wasn't Luke LOL

And his mom actually called him a good guy. That's what confused me!!

Saturday I had another date with the guy I'd started seeing. We had dinner and saw Avatar, then went back to his place. By the end of it, we pretty much both realized things weren't going to work. Actually, I think I knew that even before the weekend, but I wanted to see him again just to confirm it in my mind. We're just too different, and when he started critisizing me for not being more like him, it was pretty much game over.

Not to worry though. I had coffee with another POF guy today, and we seem to be far more in sync on just about everything. I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing him again

Plus I have another coffee meet scheduled for Friday, and a third scheduled for Saturday.
Awesome Peg.!!! Our favourite firefighter is going to Cuba with the lady he hooked fishing! I hope it works out with in synch guy!

My intelligence. One week he's saying how he loves that we can have intellectual conversations. Four days later he starts saying I think too much and cuts me off anytime I start to talk about anything intellectual (or if I start to give my opinion on something he started to talk about). Then he asks me to read a couple of chapters in a book and asks me what I think. When I critiqued it, he got all ticked off and in the letter said how dare I critisize someone with a PhD and a bunch of letters behind his name when I don't have those same letters. And this is coming from a guy with no university degree who routinely critisizes doctors for not knowing enough.

In the letter he also critisized me for being relaxed around him. As well as other stuff - some of which just demonstrated that he hadn't been listening to what I was saying. It was clear he was just trying to lash out in any way he could. It actually gave me a pretty good laugh because it was so ridiculous.

Emerson (or someone really smart), paraphrased "....you can not truly believe anything untill you have first questioned it as best you can"

Although he was referring to religious beliefs, I think it applies to nearly everything.

Questioning shows interest. Accepting shows ambivalence.

In my humble opinion, truly intelligent people invite and revel in being questioned, fools wish to force acceptance.

He was just preparing you for someone much better. You deserve better. Hope you keep looking and find what you are looking for.

I agree.

(oops, maybe I should be more questioning )

I think I might have an 'edge' over other guys....like you said she probably deals with the typical 'guys' there....and when I gave her the look the first time she asked me "Can I help you with anything?" I told her...hey I'm beyond confused right now..."She smiled and she said 'aaw you poor thing' then I asked her to help me pick some paint samples we spent some time talking on what color, etc and I told her about my bathrooms and the color 'theme/palette' for each bathroom (now that I think about it I hope she didn't think I played for the other team )

I noticed something about her apron that she speaks chinese (she is not Chinese) and she told me something about herself..pursuing master degree, etc...and I just told her 'awesome'. I don't speak Chinese btw..but at least the fact that she likes Asian culture enough to want to go there, it shows that she's open to other cultures.

Well...I'm going to go get some more paint this week
PY, this sounds great! It sounds to me like she was flirting with you and would be pursuing. Good luck!

Honestly, it was so ridiculous it didn't hurt in any way shape or form. It was like watching a small child who didn't get his way throw a temper tantrum and hurl insults which made no sense and were completely contradictory to previous things he'd said. You just sit back amused more than anything.
Yes, actually, the image that came to mind was my cousin's daughter, when she was about two and her big insult to others was "I'm not a diaper baby, you're a diaper baby!"

It was cute because she was two.
