I couldn't finish this

I managed :41 of it. It wasn't so much what Jed did, but the way he did it. Joe kept asking him what he wanted, and he wouldn't come right out with it. He kept dancing around the topic, only hinting, and constantly trying to put the ball in Joe's court. Trying to project his own feelings onto Joe.

I would have lost my patience with someone like that, and left him in a crumpled heap. Repeated as necessary.
