For the first time in a long time she'd actually gotten a sweet message on the dating app. Their conversation had been good, but scheduling conflicts prevented them from meeting for a couple of weeks.
They were too alike, and too nice, and kept coming up against dancing around the issue of dating.
Once they finally met up, they had a 3 hour long brunch. The conversation never stopped, neither of them wanting to actually leave or suggest moving onto a new location. Though she felt a strong connection with him, something was missing. The sexual attraction. She didn't feel anything coming from him in regards to her, though he did call her pretty.
A day after the date, he messaged her. Their date had been great, and wonderful, but he had realized that he was not in a place where he could be in a relationship. He hoped that they could be friends.
She hoped that they could be friends too. But she also went directly onto all the apps and deactivated all of her accounts. She was done being hurt again.
