I'll Call You In The Morning Or My Service Will Explain
I just had a prospective date cancel our plans for next week because it turns out (thanks, Facebook) we actually met briefly through a mutual friend about six months ago, and he apparently learned all he needed to know about me at the time. I don't quite know why that stings so much; I guess a few minutes of chatting are enough to sense incompatibility or lack of attraction and decide not to waste more time on someone. Still, I resent being judged on an impression I didn't even realize I was making. Particularly when I've drained the pool of single men in the city down to its very last drop, and dates are essentially biennial events.
He at least gets credit for telling me what was up. The new fashion of the day is just to stop replying altogether when someone doesn't interest you.

That's the NEW fashion of the day? Where have you been? The New York Brush Off (TM), wherein people simply disappear without explanation, has been rampant throughout my New York dating life.
At least your guy had the balls to explain why. No matter how disappointed you are, at least he respects you enough to be honest and direct. In this day and age, that really IS something.
Nice that you're posting again.
This is weird, but the guys I've had rational breakups with were the guys I least respected. The few guys I've genuinely liked and respected scared me so badly that I turned-tail and ran without any warning or explanation.
Maybe this guy knew you were a keeper...
