My friend Anne’s divorce is almost final. Recently a pal of hers approached her with great news. 

“I have the perfect man for you.” She declared happily.

She went on to tell Anne that a male friend of hers is also single.

“He’s an attractive doctor, upstanding in the community, and all around good man.”

She told Anne that she mentioned her to him and he seemed interested. Turns out they had in fact met many years before when they were both married at a party but don’t really recall much about each other.

Anne agreeing that all of it sounded good and looking forward to dating told her friend that she could pass on to Doctor-Man that she’d be interested in meeting him too.

The friend pulled a business card out of her purse and said, “Great, here’s his card, he told me to tell you to call him.”

What’s that sound? Oh yeah, it’s the air coming out of her balloon.

Imagine you’ve had a couple of great dates with a new man. You are excited, attracted and hopeful. But you haven’t heard from him in a few days. You were sure he felt the same connection and now you are wondering why he isn’t calling. You analyze the whole situation with your girlfriends who tell you to call him. In an attempt to keep things moving you do call him, “just to say hi” so that he doesn’t forget you and is reminded that you like him.

Innocent enough, right? I don’t think so…
