Read the post below this one for context, it'll help.
I wrote him back and kind of did a "it's not you it's me" email. I told him I wasn't dating because I needed to figure out what I want (which is true) and I told him I was a doofus for running from his texts and hiding from contact. I also told him I've been working out a lot and eating well which is taking up my time. In truth back when we saw each other I was overwhelmed by his emotional state and his numerous injuries not the least of which was the brain injury.
When he wrote me yesterday he told me he was having another recovery surgery and would be in hospital for a week but would love to have a glass of wine with me when he got out. He did mention the surgery wasn't on his brain but it should be. In my reply I assured him his brain was intact. I want to be kind to this man, he's had a terrible experience.
I think everyone comes into your life for a reason and perhaps his reply email to me is the reason I met him. He gifted me with these words:
Thanks for responding Aoefe. So....you got rid of me. Due to my brain injury my short term memory has been affected. Therefore I could not remember why we did not see each other again. But, you dumping me does make sense.
You are NOT a doofus. You did NOT run or hide from me. You simply were not interested in me....and I can understand that. Don't be so hard on yourself.
I don't understand why you are having challenges with yourself. You are very personable, intelligent as heck, have a sense of humour, a caring and understanding lady and to top it off....an extrememly attractive woman. As I recall the only negative about you is that you are a workaholic. However, many people with attributes similar to you become immersed in their career / job. I hope you figure it out and become happy / satisfied with yourself. Or I will have to educate you about yourself!!!! You are correct in that you have to be happy with yourself before you can have a successfull relationship with someone else. And you will figure it out.
About the exercising....you always looked super to me. So if you exercising and eating properly you would be absolutely scary from a physically attractive perspective. There will be a line up of pursuers (and I would be first in the line!).
Take Care gorgeous lady....if you ever need someone to talk to or want to share a glass of wine....contact this guy because he would more than enjoy seeing you again.
What an amazing man. I hope he finds someone who will love him better than I ever could.
