When Jessica Slice started dating a man named David, there was a lot to like about him. They could nerd out about books and board games. He was thoughtful and kind.
But Jessica had a problem. The more caring David was, the more she recoiled. “He’s the greatest!” She texted her sister. “But I doubt I’ll go out with him again.” This wasn’t the first time she’d felt like fleeing from affection, but something about David made Jessica hesitate. Was she finally ready for a new kind of love?
