There's no reason to jump to conclusions, right? Like I said before, we're not even dating. For all we know we could be entirely incompatible.
[kind of sounds like he already doesn't entirely believe that's possible]

I suppose it's possible. Though, I expect it might have come up at least once, before now, if that were the case.
