Adventures in pandemic dating….groceries?

He’s an architectural engineer, sarcastic, looks a bit of an introvert. Good mix for my personality. The date is set at a restaurant to appease both of our foodie obsessions. Chatter was decent, introverts are a bit challenging to pull info from, a non issue for extroverted me. One hour and 20 minutes into this …

It’s not you, it’s me. Redefined.

It’s not you, it’s me. A phrase most of us have heard in our lifetime, some of us, many times over. It’s a cop out, right? A way to avoid telling someone you really didn’t like them, or is it? A date I went on a few months ago, text me out of nowhere last …
