Thanks everyone. In VP’s defence, LH, I gave him a quick hug and mumbled something about not being convinced that I didn’t have Covid… and then three days later I tested positive which completely legitimized my excuse…lol. He texted me later to thank me for being the smart one and that “Covid sux” so he totally thinks I didn’t kiss him for that reason alone. Seemed like a really good excuse at the time but I realized that because I said it, he is assuming I wanted to kiss him but that I was too worried about Covid. It did occur to me, for sure, but I think if I really wanted to kiss him, I probably would have because I felt fine and, at the time, thought I had dodged the Covid bullet. I’m pretty sure that if I had just hugged him and ran away without saying anything, he probably would have figured out I wasn’t that into him. Anyway, I think I am going to go on the date and if I’m still not feeling it by the end, I’ll put on my big girl pants and just level with him.
Sigh… why is this dating thing so difficult? When I was in my 30s and online dating had just started being a thing, I clicked with almost every guy I went out with…lol. Now I just go out with someone, have a nice enough time but then don’t care if I go out with them again. I’ve walked away from some really great guys, I’m sure.
