I have been chatting via email with this person who I happened to meet online and we seemed to have a few things in common, and one of the things he mentioned was that he liked to play music. Now I myself love music, and so I asked him about what kind of music he liked, and there were a couple of other things I also mentioned in the email. So when he responded to me he never really addressed my question about the music, so at first I thought maybe he just overlooked it, or forgot or something.
So a little while later I sent him another email asking him about music he liked, and this time that is the only thing I said. I sent him an email just saying "So what kind of music are you into" and a few days past and I never heard a response. Well he could be busy whatever.
Than I got an email from him today, in which he was like, "Hey I haven't heard from you in a while, what is up? and it was sent as a reply to the email I sent him, it wasn't like he started a new email, because the message I sent him about the music showed up at the bottom of the email under his new message. So it is obvious he had to have read what I sent him.
Thus at this point I can only conclude that he was blatantly ignoring my question about music he liked. At first I thought about sending him something making a joke about his reluctance to speak about the music he liked, because it just struck me as so odd. But I ended up just letting it go and ignoring it.
Yet I cannot help but wonder, what kind of music could a person possibly like that they dare not speak of it? It seems like a pretty innocuous question to ask a person I cannot think of any circumstances where one would be unwilling to talk about music they liked, particularly if they enjoy music. It is not as if I was asking him about personal details in his sex life.
Even if he believe that his taste in music is bad, like if he liked 80s music or something, if it is what he genuinely enjoys than he shouldn't be afraid to mention it.
We all have guilty pleasures in some of the music he listen to I think, but I never known anyone to be like, nope, I refuse to talk about the music I like.
Particularly since he is the one that first mentioned it. If he did not say to me, that he likes to play music, I might not have asked him about it. If music is such a taboo subject for him than why mention it at all?
