I got rejected with a baseball analogy.

I have been thinking though 🤔… a precarious pastime I know. While I enjoyed our night out together and believe we could definitely have fun together, I don’t feel the base grounding for an on-going relationship is really there for me. Sorry 😐. You seem like a wonderful person and I do wish you all the best.

“Base grounding.” Well I guess I struck out again. Maybe I need to spend more time in the bullpen. Boy, this guy really threw me a curve ball.
