no. i had a tentative phone "date" this evening. i was asked yesterday ad from the suggestions i said i could do today at 6:30pm. i never heard back so i planned my evening expecting to not have a call. i waited until 5pm before i washed, drew and got into my bath. at that point, i still had not heard anything from the other side. i see now that at 5:53 i got a message saying "oops i should have replied, yes please". i am not sure if i reply to that. i didn't receive it until after 7pm when i was next at my phone. that message was not much of a message. there was no asking if i was still available or anything. there was no attempt to make the call at 6:30pm in hopes i was available and would answer. this was meant to be a first impression. i am not sure i care for what it says. i firstly don't think he is that interested if that was his response and reaction. so i am not going out of my way to reply to a non-message, message.

@imlikethecheese imho-do we demonstrate perfection ourselves or only our interpretation of it- do we expect perfection from others or only that they meet our interpretation of it? When trying to establish a relationship expect a few missteps in the process. But none of this is my business.

@Rickd6 it is good to be reminded of this. i know i am too judgey and harsh on these things - i think perhaps because i am only a half-foot into the idea of a relationship. i love my life as is so any thought of disrupting it for less than perfection seems illogical, but then i also wonder if it could be enhanced by adding someone, and that comes with things like compromise and allowing for others to think and act differently than we expect. i have and will certainly continue to make missteps but i have also yet to regret any of my steps on this topic. all that to say, i do still agree, i am not perfect, so i can't expect perfection in return. but i also refuse to make excuses for someone just to maybe get a minute of their attention. so that's my too rambly thinking on this that no one asked for.

@imlikethecheese looking for perfect is what we all do. Being able to identify good enough is what we all need. Living with the difference is what a relationship is. IMHO

@Rickd6 i like that. i wonder if i'm willing to settle for accepting that difference... i guess i'll have to figure that out first
