Last night rather unexpectedly turned into an intense 4 hour phone conversation. At the root of it all was a fundamental misunderstanding. However, a rather significant portion was taken up by me trying to explain to the guy I've now been dating for three months how relationships and emotions are interconnected. Now, tell me if I'm wrong, but I should not have to be delivering relationship 101 to a 24 year old. I know it may be silly of me to expect interpersonal competancy from a 24 year old male in the first place, but for Christ's sake, this is fucking ridiculous. Can the guys my own age I've dated thus far really have been that far ahead of the curve? I'm used to guys being kind of emotionally dumb, but not illiterate.

Ok, I'm done now. I'll not be burdening you with a whole lot more of this.
