Dumb, Dumb, Dumb

So, once again, I tried to kiss Gary and he kissed me once and then turned his head.
I said, "why, why do you do that?"
He said, "What?"
I said, "Kiss me and then turn your head. It makes me feel like you don't want to."
He said, "It isn't that."
I said, "well, it makes me feel like you don't like me."

He said, "OH."

Could he seriously be so dumb as to think that by him "holding out" for the last 4 weeks that I wouldn't feel rejected?

I can't believe that I feel like the teenage boy whose girlfriend is a tease.
