Bachelor #2

Oh Mr. eHarmony… This man said he was looking for a long-term relationship. He wasn’t as attractive as Bachelor #1, but he was cute in his own way, very intelligent, seemed to be a good father to his one child, and had a good job. He also attended church almost every Sunday, so I thought our values would be similar.  After many emails over a couple of weeks, he asked me on an actual date. We met at a restaurant and had a great dinner. We talked for probably two hours. Then he suggested we go to a bookstore or something to continue the conversation. I got in his car and off we went. (Yes, I know, I shouldn’t have gotten in his car.) We went to the bookstore and had a great time. He had a really good sense of humor and had lots of interesting topics to discuss. After a couple of hours there he took me back to my car. No hug or kiss, but it seemed to be going well. We continued to talk on the phone over the next two weeks and met again. For our second date, I went to his apartment and then we went to dinner. He invited me back to his apartment to watch a movie. Of course halfway through the movie it turned into a little bit of a make-out session. He suggested sex and I kindly declined. I decided it was a good time to go home and he hugged me goodbye. Four days later I received an email saying he “didn’t think it was wise to pursue this any further”.  Silly me, I thought a nice Christian man would be understanding about not having sex on the second date.
