OK I should clarify a few things...
One, he is not spending $$ on me. That's part of the problem. Not that someone has to drop a lot of cash--but this guy is all about the "come over and bring a pizza with you" thing. The dinner he took me out to last night was the first meal he bought me in 6 weeks. So I guess I feel like a pretentious bitch by saying this bothers me--but it does. I'm 32 and I need someone who is a bit more organzied and established in their career.
Two, his being nice isn't the problem. Its what I really like about him. He is genuine and unpretentious and sweet. I am just not attracted to him for a number of reasons, the most important one being I can run circles around him intellectually and my idea of a good time is not having to stop and define every 4th word for him.
Three, we just don't have much in common. I'm a writer and screenwriter. He doesn't go to the movies, doesn't like movies, etc. That's just one example, there are more. It bothers me that he didn't go to college--and that makes me feel like a bitch, but, it does bother me.
And yes, better for me to end it now and not prolong it-- but I never know quite how to end things. I do think he knows where I'm at and where I'm coming from and wouldn't be suprised by it, but that doesn't make it any easier for me.
I like him as a person, I don't want to be his girlfriend--that's the bottom line.
