Okay, here's what he wrote (part of a much longer and rather theologically oriented note):
"So something else happened that I am strangely not upset by. I have gone out with a lady a couple of times over the past month. She's amazing: smart, interesting, and beautiful. But we talked tonight and she shared that she's still attached to her past love and she doesn't want to see me any more. And, while the rejection is a bit painful, I'm actually ok. I guess I'm learning that if God isn't in it, it's not supposed to work. And if He is IN it, nothing can stop it. So we had a couple of nice dates and I can let go. I know that God is in control of this and I'm fine with it. I still hate being alone, but not so much that I will "settle" for someone that God hasn't ordained for me. It's all in His perfect timing. So I got dumped, but I'm ok with it. Does that indicate maturity or a pathological detachment? LOL"
My response was that it's difficult for me to "hear" about romantic involvement. And that since we're feeling our way through whatever this is we have, I needed to tell him that.
No response so far.
