She stopped

We'd been club-hopping.

We'd had "first date" questions.

We'd been dancing - to tribal belly-dancing music.

We'd had a drink (her an organic porter, me a gin and tonic).

We'd walked through the streets, after I offered and she accepted my arm.

We'd discussed what made the iPhone so damned sexy.

We'd done all that, when she stopped short. She looked up at me and said, "Before we go any further, I just want you to know that I don't intend to pursue this as a physical relationship. Are you OK with that?"

I smiled. Was it a smile of acceptance, or one of embarrassment? I couldn't tell.

I replied, "I enjoy your company and your conversation. I'm OK with that." Mine was an honest answer, but I did not mention the disappointment and feeling of rejection. That I kept to myself.

The evening continued.

Okay.

I read this a few times.

And I'm going to have to read it again.

There is something amiss, I can feel it, yet I am not sure why.......

I may be way off, but from a womans perspective, not persuing a physical relationship could have a thousand different reasons and not a one of them could have anything to do with you. I understand how you could feel rejected but insert, if you please, the possible arguments. Maybe she just found out she has an STD - or maybe she likes only wild sex with barnyard animals - or perhaps - just maybe she is discovering she may be in the closet.
See, none of those have anything to do with you.
You will find a woman who deserves you, who can't wait to rip your clothes off and who will get you all worked up in bed with talk of the I-phone.
Hang in there. She's coming for you :)
