Trying to not get too excited

OK, wow. I finally found someone that piqued my interest on eHarmony and I am REALLY trying to not get too excited for fear he'll ghost or it won't work out in person. He is my age, tall (6 ft which seems to be very unusual on eH for some reason) is an "illustrator" as his occupation (sounds interesting) and one of his questions to me is asking me about my spirituality but in a way that for ONCE I finally agree with! So many guys out there are "Bible thumpers/Jesus freaks" (no offense meant to anyone) but this guy seems to share my beliefs exactly - he said he is a "spiritual agnostic" which is how I feel as well. Now if he likes college football - uh oh! :-)

He's been very quick to respond so far and since my membership is up in 2 weeks, it needs to move along quickly. Keep me grounded ya'll.

That's good that you are at least enthusiastic about this guy...I think you've been doing this long enough, though, that you will calm yourself down ok. Just keep repeating "time will tell" ;-).

Have you seen his picture yet, or is he waiting until later in the process to disclose it?

Do you want me to give you examples of why to remain grounded or should we speak in the general? :o)


MEET HIM ASAP. LOL


Be cautiously optimistic. Realize you can meet and there's no spark. Realize that just because it's good on paper it doesn't mean it's good when the paper doll's cut out. (I just came up with that, have no clue of the meaning and can imagine you cocking your head to the side saying whaaa? hehee)


Just keep repeating to yourself "I don't know him yet."


Ok, hope this helps. *Fingers crossed*

Oh yeah. I usually won't even communicate with them when they either don't have a picture or are "saving it for a later stage". He is not drop-dead gorgeous, but he looks attractive. With my track record, it will be 10 years and 30 pounds ago!

Oh BELIEVE ME. I know all about the no spark thing. Pretty much all the guys I have met through OLD have been nice enough but ZERO spark. A couple I was excited going into it, but most I was pretty even keel. It just seems that maybe, just maybe, eH finally got something sorta kinda right.

It does help and I love the paper doll analogy! Hee hee. I think part of it is too that I am so tired of there being no sparks and there seems to be some common ground on this one so I have my fingers crossed that it will turn out well for once!

Gurlllllllllll, I am so with you! I am tired of emailing, talking on the phone and having a good vibe just to meet and it all goes fizzle!


I am crossing my fingers for ya. Hopefully you'll be one of the successes on the board!
