Well, here's my interp. of Bernie......<br />Dating you was a new step for him, who knows how he choose you....anyway in attempting this new adventure, relationship he wanted to plan something, be involved. He knew a place he liked, an area, and with typical male thinking assumed because he liked it you would too. You get there, propped before the fire. Did you have drinks in hand, did he? Perhaps, lost in the memory of the place, and a glass of wine behind him, he said what was on his mind. <br />People do dumb things, perhaps one is what Bernie did......assume because something, for whatever reason, make them feel good or comforted, it will be the same for others. The logic of it, that it was something that someone else might not feel the same about, doesn't seem to apply. We all like to think that what makes us feel good will do the same for others. <br /><br />Or....I'm rationalizing this guy's behaviour.
