Happy Holidays!
Hopefully you all had a wonderful Christmas. :) I'm at home using dial-up, but have managed to finally log in in search of some input.
So I've been in contact with this guy from match for almost a month. I know that you're supposed to meet people as quick as possible... I guess I'm just not ready to do that yet in general. I'm getting close! (I learn to do things in my own time.) However, I'm proud because my expectations with this guy are practically nonexistant. :)
Last week we talked on the phone for about 15 minutes. It was very enjoyable! At the end of the conversation, he asked me when I'd be back from visiting my home state. He also said he "Hopes we get to talk like that again soon." I assume/d these are positive signs? The next day I emailed him telling him that I enjoyed our talk and reminded him of when I'll be back in the state. A few days later, he text messaged me early on Christmas morning wishing me a happy one. I was surprised! Today I called him and left a message thanking him for the text, and explaining that I have horrid charges for replying to text messages, so instead I chose to call. So far I haven't heard back.
I appreciate that this guy knows I'm cautious about the internet and has been patient. He seems to be showing his interest without being pushy, which is something very new to me. In the past I've been drawn to extremely persistant guys who turned out to be huge commitment phobes. I also got my expectations up WAY high.
Now that I've typed this, I'm not really sure what I'm asking, if anything. Maybe I just needed to see in words how much I've grown from the negative dating/meeting people off the net experiences I've had in the past. Usually I'm quite humble, but tonight I am quite proud. :) Feel free to reply in whatever way. :)
Happy searching and posting! Thanks for reading. :)

Brava girl! May the new growth only continue. And good luck in the new year... :o)
Hi Pink!
Glad to hear you are feeling good about what you are doing. Following your own pace and instincts is wise.
Best wishes!

Thanks for your replies. Today I'm feeling kinda egh. Overloaded with friends who are either having relationship problems or getting engaged. Just feeling alone, which is rare for me. Hopefully I'll feel better after shopping with the fam.
Thanks again for your kind words!

I like what you said in your posting, and agree.
I've always considered myself to be grateful and humble. My relationship with God is very close. The past couple of years I was single by choice and debated ever dating again. Well, now I'm ready and am feeling impatient. I'm a good and thankful person, give me a hand, here!
Lately I've had too much time to think, being it's Christmas break and all. I feel like my emotions are all over the place when usually they are mellow.
As soon as I give up on this guy (he's slow to respond lately,) he responds again.
I have no idea what's going on lately!
