I have no idea how to quantify his level of hurt but his reaction to her rejection is to ignore her.
You seem to be bringing up a bunch of reasons & excuses to avoid going on even 1 date with this man. What are you so afraid of?
:-) That's a good question... I just don't know if I want to date someone who potentially might have dated my friend, it's just a bit weird I guess, and I have mixed emotions about it.. And I guess I generally have some intimacy problems in dating/relationships and I don't want to drag him into it especially when family will be involved in this case :-/ so I'm just a bit confused and seeking your advice to clear my head a bit ;-)
