Just my perspective…

One of your most valuable assets is time. You cannot make more time, you cannot go back in time and redo. If a prospective partner cannot respect you and your time call them on it and be done with it.

I know that when I got back into the dating scene that I was not the best at being respectful of others time and I ran across more than a few prospective partners that could not reciprocate my feelings. I found that it was a challenge to be respectful while not being over bearing or overly enthusiastic about potential partners and throwing the red flags.

TLDR: Value yourself and don’t waste time on the slugs that would do otherwise.
