Pre Evaluating and Pondering

I'm meeting I17 tomorrow in between commitments. I wanted to meet I17 tonight, Friday, but he didn't want to rush because after work is a bit difficult and he's a bit far from me. He suggested Sunday, but I don't have any plans on Sunday and didn't want to commit to the one meeting and disrupt my whole day. (Pretty lame excuse, huh.) I didn't get the sense he was willing to come to my neighborhood...so...to make it easier, I offered to meet him on Saturday, tomorrow because I would be up in LA, near him. I have a picnic all day, and meeting friends in the evening. So I told him I could meet at about 6pm for an hour. I'm keeping an open mind, I am!!

R18 did NOT call this week. I AM surprised, but at this point, I shouldn't be surprised by anything. So, I totally regret numbering him...waste of a number...maybe I'll take it back.

Okay, I know I've done this before--listed what exactly it is I'm looking for in a man--but I'm doing it again. I will have to review the entries to see if there are any consistencies. My new model involves four areas of compatibility. I'm not looking for checklist specifics, but my focus is whether he is compatible with me along these four dimensions: 1) Intellect-which encompasses education, desire to continue learning, 2) Spiritual, not just religious, 3) Commitment to community-someone who cares not just for his friends and family but for others in the neighborhood, and 4) Activity-I need physically activity, not just pretend activity like going to the park or golf (no offense golfers). Ooh, maybe I should come up with a 10 point? 5 point? 7 point? scale and start rating the dates along these lines....hmmm.
