Odd rejection

[Mrlonelyone]

Rejection is rejection but this one was kind of odd.

 

I have written about this person here before.

In a rare moment of privacy I simply asked her if she was seeing anyone. She said "I have a boyfriend. I shouldn't call him that it's still very new." I said it's "No big deal, I hope it works out for you. This dosen't have to change anything around here."

 

Then she says, "That's scary. Because when I was younger a friend came out as Lesbian to me and I didn't react well." I reminded her that I am biologically male. Then the situation became less private, neither of us wanted to have this talk in public.

 

Everything was friendly and like it never happened after that. Funny thing is after finding out, through casual group conversations how big the age gap was I laughed and she muttered under her breath, "these things work themselves out".

 

Then I went out for a beer, that they could not legally have. I'm not heartbroken, a bit disappointed. Maybe even a little relieved.

 

I understand the bottom line is a no. It's just, why tell me these things?

Reflecting on it. Perhaps the rest of that conversation was her hedging just a little and trying not to make things needlessly uncomfortable. Perhaps not knowing just how to say it or what she feels, but "scared".
