Few days ago I met this man and we ended up sitting next to each other and chatting in the train. We were just discussing things like jobs, movie interests etc. All and all it was a really nice conversation. He ended up asking my Facebook so that we could keep in touch with each other and if I wanted to I could lend some movies from him. Never ever did I get vibe from him that he was interested in me romantically, nor did I give him that vibe.
When I got home I saw that he had send me a private message saying that he is in a dilemma and I asked him why, assuming he would say something about his work or so. He ends up telling me that I'm an incredibly interesting women and he would love to ask me out but he saw that I'm in a relationship on Facebook. I thanked him for the compliment and said I could only do the friend thing. I also apologized if he got the wrong vibe from me or so during the conversation.
He is pretty ehm heartbroken by it? I even explained to him that I might have been really nice during that conversation, but it was just a conversation. It's kind of weird to me that he basically fell in love with me based on 1 conversation. Even told him that if he were to get to know me better as friends he would he relieved to not be in a relationship with me as I can have some negative aspects to me lol. But even then he said he highly doubted that.
Anyway I kind of feel bad for the guy, he also just got over his ex and now I'm turning him down as well. Anyone any idea how to deal with this? I was thinking about meeting up with him in real life and just talk it out decently instead of on Facebook and just make it clear where I stand. Good or bad idea?
