The email came quick and is honest, at least. This bodes well. I don’t really ask for all that much. (Shut up, it’s true!)

it was great to meet you last night. as well as being cute you are very cool and fun.
here’s the thing
I’ve been seeing someone for a couple of months. it is pretty casual – we see each other once a week, no questions asks – it’s not quite like you and your boy (I think she has a hope it will go somewhere else at some point) but it works for me and we have both acknowledged that it is casual right now.
that’s why I was somewhat circumspect about meeting.
But I’d like to see you again under whatever construct works for you, even if it is just hanging out and chatting.

Yes, that does explain a thing or two. Thanks for your candor.
I’m not sure yet what construct would work for me, but hanging out, chatting sounds like a good starting point. I had a lovely time as well last night.
Let me know what you have in mind.
