have you lost any shred of intelligence?
So I have this hypothetical situation. Let's say there is this person...we'll call the person L. You met L about a year ago. Instant, immediate attraction. Lust at first sight. You know the routine. Conversation is easy with L. You don't have to explain yourself to L. L just knows. You are yourself with L like you've never been before. You and L talk about where your children are going to school. You and L plan a date. L stands you up for this date with some incredibly lousy excuse about being stuck at work. L then avoids your phone calls, although eventually you do get an explanation of why L didn't show...complete and utter insecurity, but because you know L, you know it's the truth. You don't talk to L for almost a year, and L is completely out of your mind. Then you cross paths with L again, and talking to L makes you feel all warm inside and it's like you're back a year ago, but minus the standing up part. You remember how good conversation was with L, and you start talking to L more often. L says that L wants to meet you for coffee or something and suddenly you come back down to earth and remember how much it hurt a year ago. L apologizes for what happened, but the fear of going through that again is pretty real. So the question is, do you meet L for coffee?
