Got an even crabbier response so I just said "Hey, I get it your tired. Get some rest and we will do this some other time".

I started accepting this guy for who he is and that if I'm going to date him I'm going to have to make allowances for some odd behaviors/expectations. ys.

I replied I'm free on Saturday but I'm looking for more than a hook up. He gets back to me the next day "No one said anything about a hook up. I want to give you multiple O's" "Well I don't ever want to say no to that! Physical attraction is great but I really need emotional and intellectual attraction as well. Like what was the weirdest thing this week or what something you want to do this year."

His response was he goes to work a week at a time, comes home exhausted and drained and doesn't want to answer 50questions just to stimulate someone. That if someone can't answer the door with a drink and nothing on and wait a day before a barrage of questions then its not for me. Call me pig or whatever I don't want to be interrogated to get into the door or for sex.

"I understand. I apologize. I did not mean to add to an already stressful week. Showing up a door with a cocktail and nothing on is fun and easy enough if it puts a smile on you face. I just wanted to get to know you. I'm sorry I made you feel interrogated."

KitKat, you view this as primarily a miscommunication? The vibe I get is someone who doesn't value you and wants easy sex, like XH. You can't put lipstick on a pig! The "guy friends" who hang out with you week after week enjoy your company even without sex. If I recall correctly you met most of them on dating sites. Were there any YOU turned down, still single, who may be up for another go if you asked? I get it's not as thrilling as your usual types, or sex in the woods or highway, but it may be worth trying a partner who values you, the connection may make the intimacy better than you expect!
