“Mark, sorry about Friday night, just leaving like that. And sorry that I’ve not been in touch. I really owe you an explanation, and here it is: a couple of months ago, I got really involved with this guy, and it was all going well. Apart from his children, and though we got on really well, his kids just hated me for some reason, and it was like no matter what I did, I could not get them to like me. And eventually they kind of just broke up our relationship. Like even though we were getting along really well, he told me it just wasn’t working out, and it was all because of his kids. And it really hurt me.
I’m not saying that I don’t like kids, I wouldn’t even mind a couple of my own some day, maybe, but I just had the bad experience and it’s made me wary of guys with kids. But y’know, what the hell? I really did have a good time on Friday, with you, and I shouldn’t let the fact that you have children already put me off, I mean I’m sure your kid is very nice if I got to know her. If you still want to know me that is. I’m a little afraid that you won’t, and that’s why I’m sending you this email rather than ringing you. But please get in touch if you do, we can go for coffee again, nothing fancy, and it’s not like we have to rush into anything,
Love, Angela xx”
