OK, that was just weird.

gilanaI had a date tonight with a guy I met on JDate. I've seen this guy twice before, and it's been pleasant enough, no great sparks or anything. Last time we went out to dinner and then for a walk around the Christian Science reflecting pool. He took my arm while we were walking, and I wasn't entirely comfortable with that but decided to just go along with it. Thinking about it later, I was unhappy with myself for that and decided not to do it again.
So tonight we had dinner and then went to see Lost in Translation (which I really loved. Bill Murray. Who knew?) Early on in the film he reached over to take my hand, and I just pulled it back and shook my head and went back to watching the movie.
The moment the movie was over, before the credits even started rolling, he got up and left the theater without a word. I really like to watch the credits, and I figured maybe he had to pee or something, so I stayed for the credits, then left the theater. No sign of him. Loitered outside the mens room for a few minutes. Nothing. Went to the ladies room myself. Nothing. Asked the people at the concierge desk if they had noticed him. Nope. The guy at the desk went into the bathroom and looked for him. No one there. So I hung around for another few minutes, then hopped on the T and went home.
WTF? Was he mortally offended because I wouldn't hold his hand? Did he expect me to follow him out when he left? Was there a sudden mental telepathy emergency? I don't really care about seeing him again, I'm just curious what would make someone do that.
I want to send him an email, but how do you say "Was there an emergency or are you just a jerk?"
