I've been doing OLD for a while. I'm really to the point where I don't get all worked up over seeing a profile and not even through the first emails/chat. It's been a long time since I felt that 'crush' feeling apon seeing a profile and emailing just a few times or after one phone call. BUT there is this guy who I met last month on OLD who I emailed a little with but then I kind of blew him off, not intentionally, but I just got so busy with work, and I really forgot about him. I wasn't as focused on OLD at that time. When I remembered him and tried to get back to him, he said that he is interested to see where another relationship is headed. So, that was about 3 weeks ago. Suddenly friday he IMed me on the dating site. We started talking and talking instantly, the conversation flowed so well that we decided to get on the phone...so we did and talked for about 1.5 hours. There's this really familiar and electric feeling when we talk...haha. I guess that's my way of saying I am very very into this guy! It's great. I haven't been this interested in anyone in a while. There's something about him that is so down to earth, genuine and attractive. I really got this very unusual feeling that this guy and I have some nice chemistry and just may be able to hit it off (if we are attracted to each other in person) The way we talked with each other definitely left me looking forward to getting to meet him. He and I emailed each other yesterday, but he hasn't responded to my last email from yesterday. I'm in agony! I'm definitely looking forward to hearing back. Ughh! I will be so disappointed if he blows me off now. I wish I didn't blow him off last month. I hope he is as interested in me as I am him. After we got off the phone, I noticed that he went straight and viewed my profile again. That must be a good sign, right? :) I have a good feeling about him. Normally, I am so neutral about meeting and talking to guys on OLD just because I feel like I've already met everyone out there. Anyone ever feel like you keep meeting the same guys over and over again. I was getting so bored with OLD until this guy Michael pops in out of the blue on Friday.
Okay, I know I'm babbling now. I just really hope I hear from him again!

There must be a name for this agony of waiting.

I can't check my OLD site at work because it gets blocked (as Porn! Ha ha, I work in a school). Sometimes the drive home is just unbearable as I wonder---did he email me back?

WHile I wait for the email that may or may not come, I completely live out the relationship from beginning to end. If I wait long enough, he turns from the perfect prospect into a creep and I dump him in a dramatic scene.

It is almost as good as dating in real life, and less expensive.

Thanks for the big laugh! I've been trying not to let myself live out 'what could be' in my mind :)
Incidentally, I just got home and there's a message from him on my machine, but I haven't checked it yet. I'm trying to have some discipline and take care of some other responsibilities of mine tonight before checking it. Aren't I strong. :)
