No, you misunderstand. I’m not upset, and I’m definitely not upset that you’re not jumping me. Sure, there’s a part of me that wonders why, if there is something besides your past getting in the way, if it’s me. But that’s not a big part at all. If I want sex, I can get it. That’s not it. What I’m saying is that I feel like I made a mistake asking you to do this. I keep making mistakes because I’m not used to this, and I’m jumping the shark. It’s not fair on either of us.

I like you, but I’d rather not you feel obligated towards me just because of stuff like this. I guess this whole - dating but taking things slow thing is just new to me, and I’ve got to adjust. Maybe you should give me some ground rules. Like, is it okay to flirt outrageously? Is it okay to touch you? Hold your hand? Stuff like that.
[ She smiles, gentle as she can make it, sincere and open. ]
