Conversations with boys - this time it's Jake and it's not about strap-ons

Me: "I just wanted to drop you a note to say that I've decided to date someone I met right before we went out. I had a great time, but I think I connect a little better with this other person. Just didn't want to leave you hanging...Take care."
 
Jake: Nerve boy? 
 
Me: Yup. That was nice of him to email.
 
Jake: Yep. On to the next round of boys. 
 
Me: I probably would not have wanted to jump him any more on the second date than I did on the first.
 
Jake: I think that's a reasonable assumption. Jumping someone is usually a now-or-never sort of sensation. 
 
Me: Yeah. I just wish the guys I do want to jump were so undatable. 
 
Me: Um, I mean "weren't."
 
Jake: Hello Dr. Freud. 
 
Me: Ha! Think I have a latent fear of commitment?
 
Jake: Yes I do.

Me: You're probably right.
