I have a couple times. The last time was a couple years ago with someone I met online who I was getting to know but didn’t like after the first date. They asked if I felt like watching some movie and I didn’t respond and they didn’t follow up. Tbh, I probably would’ve answered if they had sent a second text. I guess I avoided telling them the truth but it stuck with me like a pebble in my shoe and I feel bad thinking about it.

    Whoa! Interesting. Thank you for following through with the story. I saw your message below. Totally worth it. The book I’m currently reading mentions the Red Scare quite a bit, so reading this is even more spooky considering today’s political climate.
