Did I handle it correctly?

It really came as a surprise when I received Mei's and Patrina's emails. First of all, I am flattered and touched that they still keep me in mind after such a long time (not so long anyway heeheee....). Second of all, they sounded really keen and sincere in asking me to work together with them.

And when I broke the news to them that i intend to go into teaching, I could feel a sense of dissappointment and barrier starting to build up. Logically, I do not have any value the moment I told them that I am unable to apply for the job. So why bother to spend any more time talking to me? [I feel sad. Is that the end to a possible friendship?]

Or perhaps I should not have asked them for details about the job. It took them time to type the email and send it to me. On the other hand, I knew all along that i will not be able to apply for it.....

Did I handle the situation badly? Did I dissapoint them?
