To me, protesters are not about "the cause", they are about getting loaded, rioting and looting. Comes from years of experience. I think he was rather foolish to do this but he made his decision based on that. I think he made the right decision since he had a different view on the matter. You really don’t want to attempt anything with someone who has opposing views. Especially, if that person feels strongly about it. It doesn’t mesh well at all. It’s good he brought it up right away so neither of you waste any time. There are things we all feel strongly about. We should be upfront about it before things get serious because you can’t fit a square peg in a round hole. 3

Agreed. I just think the same courtesy should be extended to MO.
Author mortensorchid Posted June 1, 2020 Author Posted June 1, 2020 Whatever the case may be, it just wasn't meant to be so moving on. It is a shame, but next.

Again agree @introverted, I suppose what MO posted above triggered me as it is an assumption with no basis in fact unless she withheld certain details of their conversation. Anyway, nuff said, MO you seem ok with it, good luck going forward. Edited June 1, 2020 by poppyfields 1

I think he was rather foolish to do this but he made his decision based on that. Unless you left dialogue out of your first post, you didn't say anything about how you feel about protestors. So that's not why he ended it. Edited June 1, 2020 by basil67 2
basil67 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 7 hours ago, introverted1 said: Really seems like MO is being maligned here. The guy said his weekend was good, then took a turn for bad. She asked why. He mentioned he'd gone to a protest and she said she had not b/c she was concerned about potentially less-than-peaceful aspects of the event. Neither position is unreasonable -- there are good people protesting and there are also people inciting violence. I think it was a stretch on his part to twist her concern about safety into a determination that she doesn't care about social causes. Protesting isn't the only or even the most effective way to remedy social injustice. See, I think it was a stretch on her part to assume he was part of violence without even asking if he was at one of the peaceful protests. 2

To be fair, he's a protester (who may easily be part of a peaceful protest movement) and you have views about his kind. So really, he did you a favour. Edited June 1, 2020 by basil67 1
basil67 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Why is he a bullet? We know nothing about what he was involved with. 2
Malin889 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Honestly, he's probably looking for any excuse to turn down a date, so he used this as an excuse. I just feel like a lot of guys online like to message/text/chat, but then when it comes to actually meeting up, they find an excuse not to, and this was his.
