I am getting ready to call this guy back. His name is Cain (not really). I met him online (of course! I meet all my guys online). Anyway, he has such a sweet face in his photo, very calming and safe. This is the first time I will speak with him by phone. I’m nervous. It’s hard enough finding a guy I’m attracted to through their profile and emails, but phone really knocks many men out of the picture. I hate the fact that this next step that could potentially bring things to a halt! I’m not sure how long I’m supposed to give it. They say there is a two date rule. That you go out with a guy for at least two dates because the first date might have just been an off time for you or him. (I’m over that, by the way. It was a nice rule for the 20s and 30s, but I’ve never gone on a mercy second date where I’ve wanted a third). But what about the phone call? Is there a two-time rule for that too? Actually, what I am doing right now is stalling. I am supposed to call him back but I am stalling. I hate this (but a part of me is so grateful that there is even someone to call). Okay, I still hate this, but here I go…
