TigerCub Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 so, when i asked about the first message and the downgrade to coffee, i got this response: "I’m sorry if I offended you. That was not my intention. I don’t know how to speak. Or what to do. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. I thought you emailed me to say that I should not call anymore. I just wanted to say that I respect that. And that I would be happy if you change your mind. Nothing more. If I misunderstood you or sounded flippant, then I’m very very sorry." how does that sound to you? does he seem frustrated by me by now? i am trying to decide how best to respond so that we proceed with our plans to go out and to communicate regularly but toned a bit. thanks so much! If you are all about communication - I would think you should own up to your part of this misunderstanding with something like. 'Thanks for explaining things. I have to admit that I must have caused some of this misunderstanding because while you were trying to build a bridge for us to reconnect again, I went ahead and told you that it was too much - so I can see why you thought I didn't want us to talk anymore, but in truth I do, I'm just hesitating because of the past, but I would like for us to keep communicating and hang out as friends and see what happens' (and say that part in bold only if it is true)
