So I’ve been dating this guy recently…?

Question

& I spent over an entire week with him in the past. It was spring break we were inseparable. Went to a ton of reggae shows it was great!! Then he had to go back to Oregon , I am in Texas, and some how we lost connection.

He came back after two years… and of course we started hanging out again. Its been 2 weeks now & the other night him and I got a bottle of wine and I got comfortable and asked him if he wanted to see somethings that interest me… he said yes. So I got online and showed him some Charles Bukowski poems, e e cummings and some of my own. After I had finished showing/reading them he looked shocked… overwhelmed … like I had scared the $h*t out of him. He said that C.B was sooo dark and he just is simple minded and doesn’t think like that. & that I am extremely intense. His reaction blew my mind. I really liked this person… and I knew he probably had never read anything like that before. I was trying to enlighten him and show him some new things. He didn’t react very well obviously. He told me that there are only a handful of people that I will connect with and to be mindful that he has never been exposed to something like that. He made me feel weird.

I got comfortable… let my hair down and everything went wrong.
So my question stop you all is…
What went wrong? What do I do now? & Do you think I should just walk away?

He is simple. He is handsome. He’s the nature surfer type guy (if you want to classify)
I like that he is simple. I am not. I am … I guess the artsy type. & often have people call me strange… but in a good way.
Anyhow… I think his simplicity is beautiful. But maybe my eccentricity is too much for him??

Answer 1

Well, simple can be good...... and i am exactly like you and i have fallen for "simple" guys.....
But let me just say, it's only good at first.
Once you start really trying to connect with them and looking for something a little deeper with some emotion.... it's a huge disappointment when you realize it just isn't there.
No matter how sweet or caring or beautiful he is, take him at his word that he is just "simple" and will not be able to offer you the emotional depth that you will eventually seek in him. :(
