it's true that I "went along." but felt myself becoming increasingly short, in my own reactions, and then trying not to show that. *sigh*

on another note, how does this wandering in via network page work? *curious*

and thanks for responding! it does make me feel less crazy.

If you're looking at the journal of someone on your reading list, you can click their "reading" tab and now you're reading the people they read. Who may or may not know you at all.

Also, if you search the entire Dreamwidth site for, say, Captain America, you'll get results from all over. That's kind of "the network," too.

Nope, you're not crazy at all. Showing you their (bad) poetry just sounds wrong for a meet-you date. And if he knew you worked at workplace, then his knowledgeness bashing of the homeless programs is a really classic example of mansplaining.

All so interesting - it sounds like someone who has never been challenged or criticised and really doesn't expect it. Run a mile.

Network = network link on the menu bar, and is same as friends-of-friends on the old livejournal. People hadn't posted enough on my reading page, so I went to explore my network.

cool! welcome to the conversation, and i appreciate your comments. :)

mansplaining, yeah, that. it was worse than bashing the homeless programs -- he wasn't even curious to know that they EXISTED.

the somewhat confusing part is that he does have very many nice characteristics, including the work HE does for a different disadvantaged population, which sounds very sensitive and caring. for example we perused a local bookshop and he was very engaging and enthusiastic about finding appropriate reading material for his group, which i found appealing. i think he's a good guy, but a terrible conversationalist.

that said, good conversation is pretty important to me *cough* spoiled by fandom *cough*

*sigh*

He's a 'good guy' who spent the entire date talking about himself rather than asking about the person he supposedly came to meet/date? I'm kinda thinking not so good a guy, honestly. I'm going to agree with the 'run a mile.'
