Hi all!

Even though the date went well on Saturday, I'm still keeping my options open (even though it's hard!) Yesterday I received this email from another guy. I'm not sure what to think of it.... I have opinions but would like to hear some from those of you who are more experienced with OLD! Thanks! :)

Hey there,

Sorry it's taken ME so long to respond too! Inventories, conferences, moving! Busy busy busy!

Yes, I went to volunteer at the soup kitchen... little did I know that you had to register well ahead of time. I must admit, I was a little dejected that even the salvation army didn't want me. lol!

Anything new and interesting?
I hope things are going well for you.

I don't remember if I've given you my contact info, but my cell # is ______________and my AIM screen name is __________

Talk to you soon!

What about it? It sounds like he's interested and wants to move to phone or IM. If you don't want to IM and prefer that he call you (my preference), I would email back with your cell phone number and some good times to call.

Why are you overanalyzing everything? It sounds like a normal email to me. Why does it require you to "think" about it?

When I see something that has been/turned out to be negative in past net experiences happen again, I tend to look into it so that history doesn't repeat itself (hopefully)!

What kind of seemed odd to me was how he threw out his cell number that way. I feel like if I called him he wouldn't know which gal from match he's talking to. That's also probably partially because he's not even sure if he'd given me his number yet.

Thanks for your replies!

Don't overanalyze it. A lot of guys just put the cell # out very quickly. Maybe he just doesn't like to email and prefers to move to the phone quickly. Maybe he's not talking to a lot of women on Match (that's a big assumption on your part that he "wouldn't know which girl he was talking to). But he gave you his #, if you want to talk, call him or give him yours. If not, don't. But don't make this into a bigger deal than it is.
