Deal Breaker

The man I'm dating told me nonchalantly, over Thai food on Tuesday night:

"I sorta feel if I would of fallen in love with you it would have happened already."

After a second of processing time, I burst out into tears into my plate of spicy Tofu with basil.

Nobody has ever made me cry in the middle of restaurant.

The saddest part is that while he continued to explain his hestitancy towards love, he looked down, so for about five to ten seconds he didn't notice me crying. I tried to hold it in, but the more I tried, the more upset I felt.

When he noticed my face, broken into several dozen pieces, he paid the bill and led me out of the restaurant.

The next couple hours at my house, he backpedaled, saying he really didn't mean what he said.

But what was said was said.

I want someone who is open to love, and who doesn't put love on a timescale.

We've been dating for 2 months, and I've carried a lot of hope for us, and yes I do believe I could have fallen madly in love with him, but in those moments after he said those upsetting words, my hope for us fell apart like pieces of thick fabric, heavy and real.

Goodbye Matias, that sentence you uttered is the Deal Breaker.
