Hi Ecotone

Having done some online dating there is an easy intimacy with someone when you haven’t actually met. You are able to project way more on to a person through texting than you would in actual face to face conversation.

Was she really that amazing or was the potential of her amazing? She was in to you until the reality of your text jarred with her idea of you and then easy to cut you off because you just existed in the ether not as a flesh and blood person.

Anyway do you really want to be with someone so easily offended that it negates all the good you had in your initial conversations.

More importantly – how perfect a relationship would it have been with someone who doesn’t get your sense of humour – that sounds like a horrible relationship!

By the way I am assuming you are American – any English influence in your upbringing? What you did with your text would have been more understood in England I think as generally there is a culture of teasing people that we like. Which is what it sounded like you were doing.
