I had a date with The Rock on Tuesday night. I'm just now writing about it because I needed to mull some things around in my head first. I mean, one I was shocked he asked me out on a week night. He told me weeks ago that dating on week nights is extremely difficult for him due to his job. Second, part of me wanted to say no because of the weekend before. I decided that would be petty of me, so I went out with him.
We had a lovely dinner and ended up back at my place. Again. The reason I say again is because I'd really like to see his place. I even asked if I could see his place last night. He said, "I'd rather go back to your place. It's so homey and nice." So we went back to my place. Again. (Did I mention the again part?) I will say come Wednesday morning I was glad we had gone back to my place. The Rock stayed the night, so at least I wasn't the one who had to wake up at the crack of dawn to go home and get ready for work.
Anyway, we had a couple of interesting conversations. I told him the way he brushed me off over the 4th of July weekend hurt my feelings a little bit. He apologized, but he said that's the way it was sometimes. That sometimes he was going to have to cancel... and he had told me that before hand. I told him that was fine, but a little explanation was nice. Like work or family emergency or something. He didn't reply to that...
Then I asked if he was dating someone else. He got a little defensive at first until I explained I was fine with it. We weren't exclusive, so if he was dating someone else that's fine. I did explain I would rather know than get some half-hearted excuse as to why we can't do something or why he is cancelling on me. He said he wasn't dating anyone else. He also said he would let me know if he did, but he really wasn't interested in anyone else.
So I stared at him. I have no idea what that meant. Was it a subtle "I don't want you to see anyone else either" or just a simple "No one else has caught my attention... yet." kind of statement?
I didn't get an answer because he had fallen asleep. Or was pretending to be asleep. I really couldn't tell which.
Crap. I've been mulling over this for 48 hours now. Am I reading too much? Am I making something out of nothing? A mountain out of a molehill? Am I being too demanding in saying a little explanation would be nice?
Agghh! I'm so confused. And suddenly finding myself wanting to tread very carefully.
Well, I obviously wasn't there so all I have to go on are the statements you made above. He said he's not dating anyone else. So that's a good thing, right? Does the 'why' really matter? Ok, as a female, I know the answer to this question already. But maybe you should try asking him again at, say, dinner or something where he can't pretend to be asleep. Unless he's a closet insomniac and instantly goes face-first into his soup when you bring up serious topics.
Maybe it's something similar to Mr. Enigmatic and he's just not comfortable explaining yet? I would say wait it out, but maybe be cautious at the same time. Good luck.
