Some Positive Results

Lately I feel that my blogs have been rather negative as I have felt that the options that I thought I had available disappeared. Additionally, new options were not presenting themselves. While I still feel this is true to some measure, this morning's email check brought a wonderful surprise - an email from "Hurricane guy".

"Hurricane guy" was a guy I winked at in the set of 500 men I reviewed a month ago. He winked back, I emailed him, and then...nothing. I wasn't too disheartened since I was still recovering from having met "CMU guy" and all the fallout from that, as well as some fallout in the offline world. Reading his profile he seemed pretty laid back and not overly serious. This could be a bad thing, but after the month of August, I'm looking forward to some fun and going on a couple real dates.

The content of the email is how "Hurricane guy" got his name. He apparently took so long to respond because he was deployed to Louisiana for hurricane relief through the military. He's also does public safety work. So I guess he's actually a man...unlike many of the guys I've met in the sense that he's been in the line of danger. That kind of stuff. I'm rather interested to hear the stories.

At the end of the email, "Hurricane guy" gave me his number, saying that he was better in person or on the phone. However, I am terrible on the phone and better in person on through email. It looks like we're going to have to meet and I'm going to have to take the chance that it will turn out like "First guy". I handled the rejection very well, but I didn't have the fear of running out of men on Match.com at the time. I just need to relax and make the phone call. I've survived the past 3 weeks so I'm sure I'll make it through the next couple. If not, I'm sure I'll complain about it here. Stay tuned...
