Is my “like� bone broken?
Last week was a first for me. I went on a –what by the end of night would have been called –date. Things were going alright—we got along well and the conversation was without many lulls. We had a few laughs. He seemed kind.
I wasn’t sure if this was a platonic meeting or quite what it was really. All I knew was that he insisted on paying despite my protest.
We were saying our goodbyes when he told me he was going to ask me a “methodologically incorrect� question. He asked if we had just been on a date. I told him I wasn’t sure, that all I knew was he paid, but according to his definition of “two people getting to know each other better by means of conversation,� we had indeed been on a date.
Up to that point, things were going great—we talked about studying together and maybe catching up again over coffee.
He then made it very clear he wanted to see me again… non-platonically. Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling it.
I get frustrated with situations like this because here is a great guy—a doctor, a good conversationalist, a nice person with whom I seem to have a lot in common…but I’m just not interested. At all. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m broken.
