Epilogue

Remember Nick? Where we last left off he had texted "miss you" and I did not respond. Well, I was worried about racking up some bad karma in this town, having already not returned calls to 2 of my other dates. What if I started running into some of my burned bridges? (At Giants games, undoubtedly!) My conscience got the best of me, and I did send a "dear nick" email. I sited his inability to open up, and said things should have been feeling a little more natural after 4 dates. He killed me with a response that said "this was not the welcome home that I expected" and that this "wasn't the first time" he had heard things like this. The final turn of the dagger was "I thought I was growing. I guess not." I felt terrible- this behaving like an adult business is no picnic. I wrote back, assuring him that he was a great guy, and that he would meet his match right away. No fun at all, especially because I have been in his position about 2 million times. Not sure which is tougher- waiting by the inbox or sending breakup emails. All I know is that it's hard out here for a dater...
