Dear XenopusTex:

I didn’t know that any of the women told you that you weren’t good enough…? I thought you were late to the last date with the second woman, and she became involved with another. The first woman was not emotionally available to anyone, from my reading about her behavior.

As far as empathy- it shouldn’t be something to try and see if it works, a mean to an end. And besides, it may very well be that although you felt empathy for the two, you may not have expressed it and it didn’t get communicated. You may have that stern look, that rough look about you and the empathy didn’t come through.

Till your next post-
