 I was meeting someone at a coffee shop once. He was running late and I was thirsty, so I got a drink. He called me out for buying my own and said he thought that signaled I wasn’t that interested. 

I keep thinking about stuff like this and wanting to go thank my current partner. 
 Well, that's more asynchronous. 
 Coffee shop dude? Or that I want to thank my current partner for being so lovely just the way he is? 
 The coffee shop thing. You weren't ordering together. He wasn't even there. 
 It was one a few weird things that signaled it was just not meant to be. Do find it weird that someone would comment and find it offensive that I ordered a drink when he was over 20 minutes late. 
 He should have been happy you hadn't already left.  🤣 
 💯 
 He complains that you're not showing enough interest? And this after he was late? You might get the idea that HE lacked interest! To be honest, I find it hard to deal with tardiness 🤭 I probably would have left with my takeaway coffee by now 
 💯 Mallory's way nicer than me. 
 Well that was our second and last date and it was several years ago. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m dating someone very lovely right now who brings me coffee. 🥰
