10 Days Later...

...the only update I can provide is the following:

Sunday 10/19 rolls around. I was working on getting rid of my hangover from hanging out with my Iowan friend all day Saturday watching football and reliving college. Well, the Iowan was reliving college and my 30-year-old liver dropped out around midnight. I texted "Utah guy" to see if he had an update regarding the status of hanging out Sunday night and he said that he still had a lot of work to do and "perhaps another time?" I replied that another time would be nice and that I totally understood that he had a lot of work to do.

So that was 8 days ago and no word. Unless he's on track to finish his PhD this week, I probably won't hear from him. Ever. Because I didn't receive any messages at all and if he was able to find time that first week to hang out for 4 hours, I'm sure that he could have found time to text me to make plans.

While I waited to see if I would receive a message from "Utah guy", I proceeded with other conversations. Match.com has not really provided any potential lately, even though I did receive a new email that I need to check out. Also I did make it through questions for a few more people on eHarmony. Last week I did start emailing "Graphics guy" a couple times. I have yet to respond to his last message since he wrote me Friday evening and I was busy this weekend with a friend of mine in town for Pitt's Homecoming game. I'm not sure about "Graphics guy" - I don't have that super excited feeling when I find out that he's sent a message since, obviously, I haven't found a minute to write back.

There's also "Teacher guy" who I replied to on eHarmony but no response. I'm also fine with that because I didn't find his picture all that particularly attractive. It was better than most, but again, not making me obsessively check my email. Also, I'm in the process of going through questions for 3 other people, which may bring some additional options, but I'm not too confident in them. One guy has not shown me a picture and that is usually a prerequisite for any interaction, but I figured I'd take a chance. I was a bit bored last week with the online dating since it started out at a standstill last Monday. Another one I feel might stall since I'm still waiting on a response. We'll see about the third.

So to sum up:
1. "Utah guy" - 99% sure it's a closed match.
2. I've hit the time of the year where I am a more preoccupied with football and friends on weekends as well as trying to move, so this online dating is taking a backseat since I'm not finding anyone that peaks my interest at this moment. I guess I'm probably going to have to wait around and see what happens.
