What Actually Happened

I matched with a guy on Facebook dating who wanted a hookup, but I wanted a relationship. He suggested casual hangouts, but I said no. He tried to compromise, but I still said no and ended things.

What I wish I knew

"To be more direct and clear about my intentions from the start"

Advice to Someone Facing This Now

If I could tell you one thing
