Dear Malakai:

You are welcome. “I do admit I had yet to get to know him well” – and I know him, through your posts, even less. But I always found it interesting to guess and explore different possibilities when it comes to people’s motivations, so I am okay exploring with you, if you are interested.

About his kisses: “before that date his kisses were more on the soft and gentle side, whereas after that dinner date they were more insistent” – could be something to do with the food he had at the restaurant, or maybe he had wine with dinner (favorite food alter our mood for the better, alcohol lessen inhibitions… and/ or it could be the lateness of the hour, maybe he was out with you that night later than usual?
