Meh

So, a flirtation that's been steadily building just came to its long-awaited climax--unfortunately in the wrong way, as he explained he's not poly.

Oddly enough, I feel more blah now than I did half an hour ago. Perhaps the disappointment is just now sinking in.

Ah well. 'S'not like I thought we were soul mates er anything. Nor am I exactly alone and bereft. Tomorrow I'll remember that. For now, I shall console myself with Ben & Jerry's.

Oh, it definitely does. I'd much rather hear "I'm interested, but I'm not poly" than "I'm poly, but I'm not interested." Not only is it much less of a blow to the fragile little ego, but this way I can hold onto the faint hope that he'll change his mind after being exposed to poly a bit more. (Yes, I'm deluding myself, but delusions are surprisingly comforting sometimes--especially when they're in the indefinite future tense so they can never be proved false.)
