So I feel like I should be upfront with you about something - I am much more in need of friends right now than anything else. I don’t know if it’s a really good idea for me to be seeing someone with romantic/other intentions when I’m so new to town. I am also not sure anything could happen between us in that way regardless, but especially because I think I’m a bit too guarded as an uprooted “lone reed” right now. I don’t have much of a support system here, so latching onto the first person I meet would be both unhealthy and unwise. I’ve really enjoyed talking to you and hanging out with you so far, but I think at this point I’d be better off having you as a friend. I know we only met once, but I wanted the intention to be clear because of the nature of the site we were on. I hope that’s okay. I really do mean I’d like to be friends, I’m not just saying that! However, if you’d rather not go that direction, I /completely/ 100% understand.
