Vindictive?

Arriving late on purpose? I think so. Deserved? I think so.

Turns out I got a call on my to the brunch spot that it was actually closed for the summer - makes me wonder how long ago he happened to walk by. Anyway, we ended up at a place called 'good' on Greenwich Ave. which was just that, not great, but good. I suugested they change their name to 'good enough' but they did not take it very well.

What can I say? Our brunch conversation, yet again, consisted of various disagreements and neither of us were giving an inch. Of course, we probably both thought we were. This time we actually talked about why we were so confrontational with each other. He suggested, perhaps, that we were too alike. I said 'possibly, but I am better looking!' (jk - i would never say that..)

Then I suggested that perhaps we just happen to have the two personalities that repel each other the most - like water and oil.

He pointed out that he thought I opened the meeting on the wrong note - to be fair, I was already annoyed when I showed up because of our phone conversation and our last meeting. He was right here. FINALLY!

Things did calm down and we talked about science for awhile while taking a stroll along the river and we argued about it OF COURSE, but this time it was a healthy argument that ended with ackowledgment of both of our opinions - the way a good argument should end!

He never told me what was on his mind (he had asked me to go out after writing an email saying that he had had a 'bewildering few days' and was decompressing), and that was disappointing 'cause I was looking forward to hearing about his week. Probably did not feel comfortable enough around me. Go figure!

It did end on a positive note, with me saying "Perhaps we got it out of our systems' and giving him a hug. He agreed FINALLY! and walked away with a smile on his face...
