Recently I joined a writers' group. We meet twice a month at a local library. From the very first day I joined I learned one particular person... he had five poetry books published. I purchased them immediately as I was anxious to see what he wrote. As he had his E Mail on them.. I thereafter wrote him a note stating I liked what I read and he replied "He would like to 'take me out to breakfast'; that he thought we had a lot in common, etc. etc." It was like an E Mail from a Dating Website. That is what it sounded like. I did, in fact, meet him for breakfast and found out "HE DOES NOT DRIVE". How does he expect to have any type friendship, etc. with the opposite sex if he does not drive. Plus, he took me to a "fast food restaurant". I was TOTALLY SHOCKED. He seemed one way in the E Mail and then when I met him for breakfast it was another. He talked about "how to publish books". As he has done it so many times, probably thought he was helping me. Yet... when we have our poetry and writers' group he hardly speaks to me. Seems distant. He had told me "he was a loner." So why the hyped up E Mail ? I like "doing things". Museums, Art Galleries, out to fine dining, movies. He does not do any of these things. I would like someone else's opinion on this.
I recently had a book signing at a local library. He showed up to buy my book, insisted on "kissing me" and left promptly. Please advise. Thanks.
