Hi, How are you? I'm sorry again for how things went down between us. I am appreciative and grateful for the time and words you gave me earlier this year. You made a lonely time for me feel much less lonely. I fell in deep like with you, someone who in the end felt it was best to not meet or even remain on speaking terms with me. I think being honest and direct is the best approach to take with you and I think you'd actually appreciate that more. The fact remains I still like you. Not as intensely as before but I still like you -- and because of that I'd like to ask you if you might re-consider having a coffee with me. If you say 'yes' that would be absolutely wonderful and if you say 'no' that's fine. I'm now into month eight of being interested in you and wanting to get to know you. I can't be any more direct with you regarding that. I'd appreciate your honest response. Having said that, I am terribly sorry for coming on strong with you and for certain things I said. I Probably regret that more than anything else I've done in my entire life. We can't help who we like in life. I'm the guy who wound up really liking you. Men fall for women all the time. It happens. In this situation it just happened to be between us two. You slammed into me like a thunderstorm. That's just the way things went. Not something either of us was expecting. And I'm sure you're aware I'm not the only guy in this city who likes you, Rhonda. I'm sure you're aware of the hypnotic force you exude over the male population here. There are men here on Facebook who'd probably pull out their own wisdom teeth with a set of Dollarama pliers just for the chance to go out with you. Four months ago I probably would have done that. Now I'd just wiggle them loose a little for you (kidding). I'm asking you out and trying to respect your boundaries at the same time. If you feel there could be anything positive in spending a little bit of time together in person, with me, great. If not, that's fine as well. I'm not going to be hurt or crushed over your response. I'm not going to cry or retreat into my private world. We're adults. I will still respect you which is why I asked you out in the first place as I don't ask out anyone I don't respect and I'm sure you don't agree to go out on dated with anyone you don't respect. And I don't wish to pressure you. I'm just a man asking out a very special woman he's interested in getting to know on a deeper level. But this isn't even about me -- this is about YOU and me respecting your space yet, at the same time, I don't want to regret losing you from my life. Whether you do decide to take (another) chance on me or with someone else, I will just say, whoever that man is you do decide to sit down for coffee with, if it's me or somebody else you already know or have yet to meet, make sure that man never treats you terribly or ever takes you for granted. That man needs to wake up every day extremely thankful to have you in his life -- and he needs to ensure that he treats you right because if he doesn't, he'll lose you and I can tell you from experience, anybody who loses you will regret it harder than anything else they've experienced before. Trust me on that one! You deserve so, so much more than not being 1000% supported and appreciated by someone. That I sincerely mean. And I can't understand how or why you aren't with that person. From the moment I met you I could never figure out how you weren't with that person who supports you, listens to you, cheers you on, laughs with you, cries with you, encourages you, checks in on you eac evening to ask how your day was, talks about his life with you, does his best to make you smile when you're sad and compliments your life in every way. I remember one of the first things I ever asked you back in October was how you, who's so awesome and cute and funny could possibly be single? I couldn't (and still can't) understand that. You replied that you "just haven't really clicked with anybody." I've seen you interact with your friends on FB and you seem to click with everyone on there. There has to be someone on there who might interest you? I just don't understand it. You have to get asked out all the time. I'm sure I can't have been the only one in recent months to do so. I really wish you had met someone you totally clicked with. I've never been more confused by anything in my life as I have about this situation And I don't think I'll ever figure it out. Then after that we talked about how your best friend always requests Black Velvet during kereoke, that I interviewed Alannah Myles a few months prior, I asked you if you could rock leather clothes like she could (jury's still out but I would say, um, yes, You do!), that you play in two pool leagues but you gave up playing pool as a date because most guys get sooky when you kick their butts. I said you'd probably kick my butt too and you suggested we should play together and find out. Then I said it's not about who wins a game, it's about two people having fun and enjoying each other's company. Then you sent me the photo of you wearing the respirator mask to the costume you were working on. Yes, even on October 4th you were working on that costume because it was important to you that you did a good job for someone who meant a lot to you. That's the night I discovered how much you care about others. That's the night you got me. And I've thought about you every day ever since. Okay, there is something you said to me in one of our last chats which struck and stayed with me and it actually isn't about us. You said sometimes you feel you have to act "stuck up" or "snobby" when working on a particular client. Why is that? It sucks you have to feel you have to be something you're not. But I think I can understand. I dunno. I just wanted to always ask you about that but I never got the chance. Truthfully, there's a lot I'd like to learn about you -- if given the chance. If not, I wish you luck in dating. I think I'm taking a break from social media for a while. If I had been doing that last October you never would have found me on a dating app. You would have began chatting away with some other guy that night and he most likely would have been the one to fall for you instead of me. Perhaps this hypothetical guy wouldn't have screwed up his only chance to get to know you like I did. If he was smart he would have shown you more respect and patience than I did. Fate truly is funny sometimes, isn't it? Anyway, I hope you and loved ones have been happy and well. Be safe. Jason. P.S. So of course, I couldn't post this on your FB page but your new profile photo reminds me of those 90s ads in fashion magazines featuring Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford. You might have missed a second calling in life Rhonda. You would have easily been a successful model yourself. See?
