Dont - let him down gently. He's obviously got some overblown romantic image of you, thinks sending you Shakespearean quotes is impressive and he's not doing it for you, but don't be mean to him. Not that I think you would, but.. Just be gentle with him.
I seem to be a little smitten. Possibly more.
Last time I posted, I was going to have a second date with Theologist, who was a couple of years older than me, interesting and funny, but I didn't really fancy her very much and her heart-on-sleeve christianity put me off a bit.
So, we had the second date and it was a nice chat, we had dinner (I paid, because I asked, and I think that's fair) but.. nothing. No spark, no chemistry, Interesting conversation but nothing more. When she turned up and I saw her across the room I was a bit disappointed.
But, I had a date with someone else. We started chatting on Match and she just seemed sweet and funny. Her pictures were good. Went out for a first date midweek, and again last night, and she stayed over as she'd had to drive to my town for dinner. We'd said we'd be good but things got the better of us.
And she's lovely. Funny, with that mutual spark, talking about random conversations and going off on weird tangents, and just getting each other. She's gorgeous but I think her experiences in the past have damaged her confidence so she doesn't know that she's just stunning. She doesn't know that she's witty and insightful either, so I'm just listening to her talk and fascinated by her views on stuff, and she gets all shy about it, which is incredibly endearing. We're trying to find out when we can meet again, but with both of us having kids it's difficult to find a convenient time.
