Guys and Gals I Need Your Feedback

Well I posted yesterday of my gentleman caller not showing up for a date and having to call the next day (see Too Cautious??). After thinking last nite because (I had to take a breather from being peeved and did not want to say anything ugly). I finally got off my stubborn bum and listened to his voicemail he left. He did a "Ruben Studdard" (you know the record "I'm Sorry for 2004"?). I just listened. We talked this morning yet I am remaining cool! His explanation was that he was sick from food poisoning. He profusely apologized again when I talked to him this morning. I still remain cool.

All feedback is welcomed. Thanks!!

Thank you for taking the time to say that, Sissy.

I think that too often we let our romantic partners get away with things that wouldn't be tolerated under other circumstances, just because we want someone to date so badly. I think my call-in-sick-to-the-job is a good example.

But it's certainly up to the individual whether she feels like giving the guy a "pass" for a first (and hopefully LAST) offense.

Thank you for your feedback! The man I am talking to is not a romantic partner. He has not earned "entrance fee" for that privilege! (smile). I am definitely not desperate to date because he has been warned that his inconsiderate nature will not be tolerated in the future or he is not talking to me anymore. He's got his first AND last pass, so I trust that he better use it well or go cry in his beer at the bar due to me moving on.

Ummm, a good country song, don't you think???!!
