Respecting the Process

The coffee date, first meeting with L16 came and went. I'm pondering the concept of respecting the process. Everything moved so fast with L16 that there wasn't time for interest to brew. He's normal, interesting, we were able to talk work issues which was helpful. But, the interest wasn't really there. But he was interesting and asked me a lot of questions and wanted to know about me. There was something in his mannerism that I wasn't into. I feel so superficial. I want to find a way to make him into a professional contact.
