How many dates?

[Scandia]

And one of the new persons I have met that I had interest in...I lost interest due to his personality being way too reactive and neurotic, as well as due to our attitudes towards fiscal issues being too different. He's great otherwise and I would like to stay friends with him, since we do have quite a bit in common. But while he is not abusive or put me down in any way, he was just a bit too explosive for my tastes. I'm looking for someone more laid back, easygoing, and mellow.

Not only do I feel very guilty about this, but also I wonder if this person crossed my path to make me be grateful for the previous guy- because while with this new person I can point out personality aspects I have trouble with, the previous one only involved lack of chemistry as a problem. I did get bored due to the lack of chemistry- but while he certainly was not a particularly interesting or engaging person, it's not like he was the dullest and most boring person in the planet either.

Why am I feeling so guilty? When your first experience with dating and opposite sex friendship in your teens was as horrible as mine, you would feel guilty too about not returning the love of a good person.

Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt, GUILT!!!
