How Do You Take Offers that Don't Materialize
I've had a number of people who have said, "Hey, give me a call and let's do this!" or "I'll take care of this for you in the next day or two," or things along those lines.
I've touched base with the person the day after they were going to do whatever it was, and they've said, "Hey, let's try tomorrow!" or something similar. So, after that day, I've tried to touch base with them again and usually, haven't heard much of anything from them.
I feel that I've reached out and took them at their word. Chances are they honestly wanted to do whatever it was they said they wanted to do (have a nice long phone chat, send a package, or send some files via e-mail), but I'm beginning to feel like either: a nag or that it really wasn't all that important to them after all.
You people out in LJ land think just letting go of it and giving up on things (or the person) is the way to go?
