Brooklyn Update

I've had two more dates with Brooklyn. The second one we met for dinner and then went to see a movie. The third one was another dinner date followed by a quick shopping excursion he came with me on to pick up a gift for a friend's baby.

On our first date I had mentioned that I wasn't sure if there was a lot of chemistry. By our second date I was still questioning it but keeping an open mind, hoping something would spark. On our third date, I was sure it wasn't there.

I'm not just talking about physical chemistry, I mean our personalities clicking as well. I found Brooklyn to be very rude in the way he talked to me at times and especially did not appreciate his tone when he would (constantly) accuse me of not being able to get together more often (which he apologized for multiple times later when I pointed out that he had told me he was busy every weekend in the month of August and on certain week nights). He also pointed out that he was busy before he met me and is still a busy guy, which in my opinion is not showing a lot of seriousness if you can't spend any weekends together. As my sister-in-law pointed out, if two people really like each other, they are going to want to spend all of their time together and will make and find the time to do it. That was obviously missing here.

Over our last dinner he mentioned how confrontational he can be at times. Hmm, yeah, seen that and honestly its not my thing. When we were in the baby store and he was looking at baby outfits with me, I didn't even get that little tug of the heart thinking how cute it was shopping for baby clothes that I am sure I would have gotten with someone I was really interested in. A few days later as we were talking on the phone he told me that he was actually quite "ghetto" and found himself holding back a lot with me. I was like really? More ghetto then what I've seen and he was like you've seen nothing! Yikes.

So bottom line, overall not a match. And you want to know something? I actually feel relieved this one is over. Phew.
