The Twilight Zone

February 29th, 2008

And so the saga of our Teeny Tiny Superguy (AKA Asian Grocery Guy) continues. I figured we were done due to the odd departure tactics and strange anti-date ambivalence. One of my friends asked me if I was bothered by that fact. I really had to think about that, but no…. I’m not. I really have no strong feelings about the entire experience one way or the other. I got to go to the movies and out to dinner, so it wasn’t all bad. I don’t have a burning need to repeat the experience but neither was I repulsed by it. I am truly ambivalent about the entire thing.

Which, of course, means he emailed today. His communication is just as ambivalent as I am feeling though. He wrote to tell me something about the movie and ask me a question about it. Then wished me a happy weekend and didn’t even sign off. (He ends emails much like he ends social interactions, it seems.) Unsure of what to do, I answered his question without a greeting or signoff (to match him) and sent it off. More effort seems entirely unnecessary. But less seems rude.

We have clearly entered the (ambivalent) Twight Zone!
