This is honestly what I was thinking through the whole post. Being older, he is way more set in his ways. It sounds like there was a lot of correcting on your end, and guys will eventually tune that out (even the young ones lol). It sounds like he just gave you the constant ick, and it's impossible to have good chemistry when you feel so icky around him. I am glad that you can finally move on from him. There's still a chance to find new love, and this experience will only help you narrow down what you want even more.
