Today was an interesting day. Six new messages in the last two days. I had a few prospects email me again. The most interesting of the day goes to the guy that didn't have a profile picture, but wanted to meet. He further noted "I am willing to meet in a public place for like 20 minutes so we can see each other and see if we want to continue to talk from there." So ... we're putting a 20 minute time limit? First of all, I'm not interested in the guy, but if I'm going to give up my evening so that I can meet him out, he's going to give me more than 20 minutes of his time. At the very least and out of courtesy, even if we're not a good match, he should take a little time out of his schedule. I get it, maybe we're not into each other. It's hard enough though to try to figure someone out after a couple of hours of chatter, give someone the benefit of the doubt and at least give them some of your time.
One guy was sort of cute and seemed descent so I replied to him. His initial message asked how I was doing. I wasn't sure exactly how to respond to that so I found something off of his profile and commented on that. We had a small dialogue going and he seemed nice. He asked me where I worked, told me he worked at the post office, and what, if any, plans I had this weekend. I told him game night and a crawfish boil ... then he asked me what game night was. Ummm ... ok. I said "Well ... a group of friends get together and play games." Seriously?? I didn't think it wasn't obvious, but whatever. Then he proceeded to ask me where the crawfish boil was. As if I was going to tell him that! He later asked how long I'd been on the site. I told him just a few weeks. Before he shut down, he said "Fun, I can call you sometime." Now why didn't he ask? Is that wrong of me to infer things about that comment? Am I jumping to conclusions? I would have felt more comfortable if he asked me for my number or asked if I minded if he called. No ... he just said he could call me. Well I know he can ... anyone can. I don't know ... I usually don't give out my number until I've set up a meet. By the way, here's a shout out to my cousin - she asked me if post office guy told me he wanted to "lick my stamp" lol She's funny! :)
Ohhh ... a new cutie added me to IM. He's a couple of years older than me ... that's cool. He lives about an hour away though so if we end up liking each other that will definitely become a factor. He seems like a nice guy so far. I don't have a nickname for him yet - we didn't chat quite that long. So far we seem to have some of the same interests. I had to cut him short because I had to leave work, but I told him I'd be online tomorrow and how nice it was to "meet" him.
That's it for tonight.
