All or nothing...

Seattle is known for a lot of gray days. So one would think that its residents would be able to understand the subtleties in grayness. But as I have quickly learned over the past few weeks this is something that is lacking in most people here.

I have been casually chatting with someone new. First time I had been in talks with someone new since the break-up and I was simply heading at it from a platonic stance. However, I was given feedback tat implied that there was more interest than just friends.

I initially retreated since I was scared by the thought of getting involved with someone too soon, but I did a double take, and decided to see where it could go. But for some damn reason, I keep finding this people who are all or nothing types and simply expect me to adjust and conform to them.

Well, I did that for 5 years with someone who said he loved me. So I ask, why in hell would someone I had never met in person and only chatted with briefly on the phone, think I would do that again for him?
