Dear Dr. Queerlove,
Two nights ago I met someone on MANHUNT. I arrive at his apartment, conversation flows nicely, he’s actually as cute as his pictures, and there is plenty of innocent flirting. We start to kiss and he whispers in my ear “You must be special. I’m not usually this easy.” Umm... ok? Something told me he’d used that line before, but before I gave it too much thought we were in his bedroom, clothes flying.
Now, he’s great with his mouth… when it’s on my body. Not so much when he’s talking. He’d already complimented me several times on my looks, as I did with him – fun and flirty. But in bed it started to get a little strange. “How did I get so lucky to get a hot guy like you in my bed?” “What did I do to deserve such a gift from the heavens?” “You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever seen” And my personal favorite “It’s nice to have someone my age, too. I’m used to guys in their mid-forties who aren’t nearly as attractive as you!”
At this point I just didn’t know what to say… I started getting really turned off by the overwhelming amount of praise. Then it happened. We were about to climax and he started to cry. Not just a few tears and a sniffle—he let out several high pitched wails and was actually crying. I didn’t know what to do. I was completely taken off guard. So, I kept doing what I was doing and we awkwardly finished up.
At this point it was nearly 3am, so I spent the night. He kissed me all over, all through the night; held me; and was almost too attentive. In the morning he insisted on driving me home. When he dropped me off he said he’d call me when I got out of work today and couldn’t wait to talk about our first two dates, which he had already started planning. After work today he called me twice and texted three times within the course of an hour.
I’m totally flattered, and he seems like such a nice guy, but it’s all so overwhelming. I’m not used to this. Is this normal? After spending the night and feeling so smothered I know we’re not a match, but how do I let him down without totally crushing him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
