Don't know what to think about this

Ok, I've had the worst dating luck ever this year and have dated a whole bunch of guys very casually (one date to a few dates) so of course Im let down and don't really believe that I will find someone any time soon. Well, I emailed this guy off of an online dating site that I thought fit my criteria and of course didn't expect him to return my email back because usually the attractive, smart, caring, interesting ones seem to be bombarded with emails. I was surprised when he did write back to me and mentioned something about me being out of his league because I was looking for someone who has a bachelors degree and he only has some college. I told him that this isn't what matters to me. The thing that matters is the kind of person someone is and as long as they are responsible, enjoy what they do and are working towards goals. His profile was written really well and the things he's had to say back to me in our 2 email correspondence were really cool. It almost seems too good to be true though. I know I haven't met him and I don't know him and I can't tell something from someone just from emails and what not but maybe I'm getting a little bit excited about this and hopeful. Have you guys run into situations in which the person seems too good to be true and then when you meet up with that person you realize that they were not who they put themselves out to be and you were let down? Granted I haven't even talked to him on the phone yet and probably will give him my number the next time he corresponds with me and see if he takes the initiative to contact me by phone. I rarely if ever get excited about corresponding with someone but for some reason with this guy I kind of do. I hate to get my hopes up after a couple of emails but maybe the only reason why I do is because it "seems" as if this person meets a lot of my criteria for someone and I've had such bad luck lately with dating.

I think I am in the minority when I say that I DO feel you can get sort of a "feel" for someone in just a few emails. BY NO MEANS do i mean that you know them, or that they may be totally NOTHING like they come across, but *I* find, for ME, that I can weed people out really quickly in a few emails - or weed them IN. lol

I'm hoping that he calls me. I gave him my number via email and he told me yesterday that his next correspondance will be over the phone and he would call soon and thanked me for my number but I haven't heard from him yet. I'm hoping he does call within the next couple of days. I'll give it a little bit of time and try to be patient. I don't like getting my hopes up though. I get a good feeling about him as a person and I'm hoping my intuition is right but I guess I'll just have to see..... I can get a better idea from how a person is by speaking to them on the phone and then of course meeting up with them.
