Comrades of eHarmony, please help. I was communicating with what seemed to be a great match. We shared much in common--values, interests. Important things. So I received an email from him suggesting I meet him with a couple of good books to spend "some time reading, relaxing" for the weekend and then going to dinner to "talk about philosophy, politics, safety...." My mind went to oh, he wants to meet for a coffee in a bookstore and then go to dinner. Understand, I had not yet met this man. Thus, I wrote back, yes, books/dinner/coffee/talk sounds great" and thinking I am meeting him in a bookshop for a coffee and then maybe, if things went well, dinner. Since I said yes, great idea to meet, I awaited the next note as to where, details. Instead, I got a "closed" message. Looking back at his note, it dawned on me that I think he was suggesting meeting at his house with books and relaxing? Huh? I totally misunderstood everything, even the dinner discussion of philosophy and safety (go ahead and laugh, I was thinking is he refering to driver's ed or something?) Anyway, does this sound odd to anyone else? Are other females cautious about meeting in a neutral spot for the first "hello?" Finally, does his communication sound a bit odd to anyone else? None of his other correspondence was quite so... personal. Can anyone--male or female help me understand this one????
