Is it even worth it?
Is it even worth it? So, for the last several weeks I've been involved in a flirtation with someone with whom I have a lot of physical chemistry, but we disagree on everything under the sun. I'm a liberal Yankee, and he is a conservative from the deep, deep south. He's not my type, but I was trying to over look things because he's adorable and he makes me laugh. But I've come to the conclusion that we are just too fundamentally different to ever truly forge a friendship. I have known people who have managed to make it work, and I had hoped we could, but I believe they must have agreed to disagree. They must have come to the conclusion somewhere along the way that they would never discuss certain matters with one another. There are too many other things under the sun to love and enjoy about one another to waste time fighting over things that could be overlooked. My friend, however, isn't willing to do that. We can't even get to the fun part because he would rather debate me. Only he's not equipped for any debate. Don't get me wrong. He's actually a genuinely intelligent guy. I'm impressed with his knowledge and his conversational skills, but he's chosen to fill his own head propaganda instead of facts. It's a pity. I wanted him to kiss me, but he'd rather start a fight. So, flirtation and chemistry be damned. I now have to walk away. I really tried. And I'm disappointed that things have to end this way. My door will remain open because I'm not the type to slam the door in people's faces. But I really have to ask myself if a pretty smile and a strong desire to get someone out of his clothes is worth the misery I would feel every time he opens his mouth to speak. |

Finding a good match seems very hard, currently in a similar situation. In my case, think I dodged a bullet. Next time might have the financial talk a bit earlier. XX

Free speech is a great concept as long as you agree with me and say the things I agree with. Wouldn't it be boring if we all said and believed the same things. Our differences are what make us special and make life interesting.

IF he would rather debate you than even kiss you, I can only imagine what might happen if you were able to get him naked. Would he debate positions vs trying them all? Life is too short not to enjoy yourself with someone you have a connection with that wants to do more than talk. Granted, there needs to be a conversational connection for the "in between" times. You just should not have to debate your way into bed. Move on, as much as it may hurt you. You seem too bright and attrative to settle.

Truth be told, if we could actually get to the kissing part, then maybe I'd be willing to stick around for the fighting. But at this point he's offered me no reason to stay. In fact I Think he was doing his best to make me want to go away. I don't know why anyone would go to such lengths. He could just stop talking to me.

Well, I know some guys are/can be stubborn, and some even cannot take a hint. i used to be naive and had a hard time "reading" what a woman was trying to get across. guess I outgrew that..lol, because now, to me at least, it is pretty obvious when I am being "kicked to the curb". maybe it has happened to often . As far as not finding you attractive, I am only standard here, so I cannot see all of your pictures; but what I do see, I find VERY attractive!!! Makes me wish we lived closer. Although, Atlanta isn't that far...smmile

I know exactly how you feel. I wish I could give advice but I've been there too many times to say anything substantial could ever come of it.
