Dating Diaries 23: Waiting For Him To Call

I’m waiting for a guy to call right now. I turned on my phone’s volume (so I won’t miss it!) and decided to blog because, well . . . why not? 

I feel like I’m in the 1960s, waiting by the phone . . . haha!

He had said he would call this weekend. Saturday passed. Sunday mostly passed.

And then he texted Sunday evening while I was at church (I had told him that was the only thing I had going on this weekend), so I quickly (as QUICK as I could!) wrote that I was still at church but gave him the time I would be home. He replied, “Let’s chat when you get home.” 

And I rushed to my car, was one of the first to get out of the parking lot, and got home in record timing. I mean, I’m trying to be available for this guy. 

And I texted him as soon as I got home . . . I’m home and good whenever you are!

30 minutes later . . . still waiting.

I’m confused. 

Am I the only person that sets up a time for phone calls? Maybe some people are not used to phone calls. 

Still waiting . . . 

Well, I have to write what happens . . . so we’ll see how long the waiting lasts. I’m going to start writing my next blog. 

 . . . Okay, 10 minutes later, he wrote, “I’ll call in a few minutes!”

 . . . 10 more minutes, still waiting. 

Is he like getting ready or something? Finishing eating? Is he waiting for the end of his movie? On a Zoom call? 

Another 10 minutes . . . what is up with this guy?? 

Oh, it’s Covid.

Still waiting . . . I need to go to the bathroom now, but I don’t dare. 

I risked it. I brought the phone with me. He still hasn’t called. 

Okay, I’ve been home for an hour. 

 . . . 

Okay, he finally called. 

It was good. We had a good conversation. I mostly led it, kept it going. That’s fine. He got comfortable after a while. It did seem that he was more on the sensitive/ moody side, so I won’t talk with him again. But we talked for over an hour and a half and it was good practice.

I’m getting better and better at these dating conversations, figuring out the right questions to ask, how to explain things about myself without giving too much information. I can see a lot of improvement in myself from two months ago. 

I’m glad I did it. 

And, on to the next one!
