On paper we should've been a match

Bird's Eye View

I was quite excited to be honest, to find that we had many things in common in terms of attitude and deal breakers.  You were accepting of my smoking habit and my being a night person, and my occasional need to be a-social.  I liked that you're physically active even if you don't look it physically, and that you are accomplished in your career and seem to be emotionally well-adjusted.

After just one day of talking, and that insidious short good night video you sent me, I must admit I wanted to see where all this could lead to.  I am not consciously looking for a relationship at the moment, but if the opportunity presents itself, why not take a chance?

So while I was busy staying awake and talking to the person who referred you to me, you surprise me with wanting to visit.  I don't think I've prepared a place that fast in a short period of time.  Luckily, you got lost getting here.  On second thought, maybe not so lucky.

Honestly, the videos and photos and the you in person aren't similar, but I think I'm nice enough to overlook that.  You were so stressed out and nervous, you didn't even finish the cup of water I gave you.  Half full?  Half empty?  Even when we cooled ourselves off in the room, you were still unrelaxed.  But still, I tried my best to have fun and help you warm up to me. 

You are a tender lover and want to please, but I can't understand why you would fake coming.  I feel you need more experience; you need to date more to come out of your shell.  Being a late bloomer myself, I understand your situation.  And unfortunately, we cannot be more than where we are.  I know I'm gonna feel guilty for agreeing to meet with you again, but perhaps I might have a way to of telling you this without sounding arrogant.

And also, maybe I haven't given you the chance to show you can do.  Perhaps when that comes, I'd see the stars instead of dimly-lit buildings.
