This and that

WELL!!! I didn't realize it had been over a month since posting here. Life is busy this time of year.

The swine flu has arrived in our community. As a result, no school this past Thursday and Friday. As of this afternoon, my school is opening tomorrow. We have no idea if we will have to make up missed days. The teachers are always the last to know, so I'm expecting the students to tell me the latest update in the next couple of days.

I swore I wouldn't do the online or long-distance thingee again. So, I've been speaking with someone online for the last several weeks, along with a few emails. We very recently moved to phone calls. I feel that I've been very cautious. No meetings have been discussed at this point in time.

There is one thing about which I'm a little concerned. I invited him to call me and gave him my cell phone number. However, both times he has called me, his number has been blocked. Red flag???? In addition, after daily contact for several weeks, he has suddenly backed off to just one short message in the last 3 days.

I am DETERMINED that I won't chase him.

Sigh........(rant coming on). I want to be open and honest. I try to be as forthcoming as requested. However, if a relationship is to develop, there has to be more discussion than just what two people have in common, sexually. Yes, if bdsm is a consuming interest of one, then it is very important to establish whether that is also of interest to the other. But, it can't stop with that, unless only sexual contact is the goal. I've had enough of that to last a lifetime. Until I learn more about a person than just their sexual interests, everything will remain at a dead standstill. I'm not going down that road again, especially not with someone who doesn't trust me enough to allow me to see their phone number when they know mine.
