here's the deal...you did nothing wrong here. that's a guy talking to you. you did what any smart woman would do in the same situation and the guy got turned sideways. he's not the one...move on. guys that have this anal-retentive attitude right from the git-go are trouble...i repeat...t-r-o-u-b-l-e. don't saddle your life with men like this. this is nothing in the big scheme of things. and he gets his feathers in a bunch? lol...you don't need this, south'rn belle, find yourself somebody without the quirky baggage. they're out there. don't rationalize weird behavior. many women do. don't you be the honey that frets about "did i say the right thing at the right time...oh my."...don't be that woman. they embarass the mccainster. stand up straight and tall, thank the lord above that you found out nice and early in the dating phase, and run don't walk from this loser.
