Real Talk. So, I’ve been dating this guy, “Earl,” for a bit more than a month now (he took the picture of me at the Pacific Ocean). Primarily our dating has consisted of lunch or dinner—meeting him during my lunch hour at work, or going out to dinner with him directly from work. He’s cute and fun and smart, etc.
Last night we had dinner after I got off work. We were considering going to see Toy Story 3, which neither of us has yet seen, but the movie times would have made us get out real late, and Earl didn’t want to stay out too late. Towards the end of dinner he got a text from some friends: they were going out to the bars in the Castro. So we decided to instead see the movie this afternoon, and go out with his friends for a bit.
His friends are nice, good people. Earl leaves early; he had things to do early this morning. I stay with his friends, and one of them is kind enough to give me a ride home (saved me $15+ on taxi). This morning I get a text from Earl “hey I’m gonna have to cancel on the movie today let’s touch base next week.” I reply “oh ok. is everything alright?”
He texts back “I just don’t think we’re on the same page anymore. It’s probably best we limit private time together.”
What?
