I wasn't sure what I was going to talk about tonight...

but then the phone rang about 5 minutes ago. Keep in mind, the time was 8:58 PM. No one calls me that late unless it's an emergency! Fortunately, I had the receiver sitting behind me, so I picked it up. On the other end was a man's voice.

But not just ANY man's voice. It was a voice from about a month ago, when I received my first match from The Right One. You remember the one, he didn't want to meet me, and wouldn't tell me why. Yes, that one! He called to apologize, said he should never have treated me that way, that I didn't deserve it. Part of the conversation was difficult to hear because he has a cell phone, but his excuse was that he had some stuff going on (?) and wasn't thinking clearly...or something like that.

I accepted his apology; I'm not THAT mean. He then asked if I had received any other matches since then. I told him yes, I'd received a couple, but I didn't volunteer any additional information and he didn't ask further. His next question? Was I still interested in meeting him. I could have said yes. After all, we were matched up because we have similar interests. But I just don't think I could get past how he treated me on the phone those weeks ago. Yes, he apologized, and I'm not angry at him anymore. But I don't think I could get that conversation out of my head if I were to meet him. I would work really hard at keeping part of me closed from him, to protect myself from him, in case he pulls something like that again. And that's not how I want to approach potential relationships.

My answer to him was, no I don't think so. He said ok, and we disconnected. I'm wondering if my comments on the Feedback Survey prompted someone to call him. I don't want to use the phrase "chew him out" but I'm unable to formulate the proper words, lol. Maybe they suggested he call and apologize, since the way he treated me looked badly on them.

Meanwhile, the new match, Jeff, hasn't called. I'll give him until Friday evening. I'm tempted to play 20 questions with him. 1. Are you serious about finding a match with this service? 2. Do you believe in love at first sight? That's just for starters. I'll have to keep thinking of more questions to ask him. Suggestions welcome!
