Well, almost definitely unless he ghosts! But one of the cute guys from Match that responded to the new profile and picture and I have been talking for a couple days. We started emailing this weekend and have spoken on the phone the last couple of nights (we were talking last night and got interrupted when a friend of his came over to fix his computer). We talked again tonight and he said he would call in the next couple of days once we knew our schedules (I am busy the next couple nights and he is busy one of the 2) and we could set sometime up to meet. We moved at a quick pace and I am glad we both moved it along - he approached the meeting each other first w/o any prompting from me!

Of course I am reserving my full opinion until we meet and I think this is one in which I really am being realistic and not setting my expectations too high. His picture is attractive (but coming from the QUEEN of guys who look nothing like their picture and are in fact MUCH less attractive) and he is funny and we seem to have quite a bit in common. He has a really cool job (a sports announcer for college sports and since I love college football, that is a plus). He likes my sense of humor (which can be on the sarcastic side) so we'll see. Wish me luck on this one!

Hi Vex,

The BEST luck all the Irish have to offer to ya! Add in a sprinkle of 'cool karma/chemistry' from we Italians too! :)

I met one that I think miiiiiight be something kinda good too, but to be honest, I am afraid to even let myself THINK that it might be that! I am kinda glad I have developed my little 'armadillo armor' around my feelings per OLD...this way, if it doesn't work, I have NOT missed having that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach from waiting for a call or an email. My two best friends think it is a "Go", but I can't Even let myself begin to think that way.

Vamos a ver, as they say..."we shall see"
Espero Que Si...."I sho as he** Hope so!!!"

Hope it is great for You!

Truly,
Cupcake

Don't let those expectations get too high... but man, I sure hope it works for you. A college football guy? For you, a huge college football fan? (Yes, I actually *read* your profile.) :)

How about this- expect little, hope for much.

Hmmm... no, that still winds up bumming us out when our hopes don't work out.

Expect little and just be yourself, and have a damn good time. Remember, if you overdo it to try and impress him, you're not really being you.

Be you! Good luck!

Thanks all. cupcake - that is kind of the way I am looking at it this time. I am cautiously optimistic but won't be heartbroken if something doesn't pan out - but boy it would be nice!

NGOL - thanks. I think the things in common will at least carry the conversationand yes, the college sports announcer thing is a HUGE plus for me the college football fan. I have no idea what we'll do yet, but he said he'd call and set something up so we'll go from there. So far, I am just pleasantly surprised that he calls when he says he will (Sheri's thinking of "every time I talk to them is the last time") and not setting expectations high at all.

An amjay - of course I'll dish! :-)

Sometime this weekend. He is calling tonight or tomorrow to set up something because we both had to check our schedules to see when might work - he works nights sometimes and has a friend coming in town and I am busy several nights over the next week. So nothing is "confirmed" yet and I am still playing the "each time I talk to him might be the last" but so far when he has said he will call, he has called.
