Difficulties of Getting to Know Someone Through Gtalk

So I spent all day Saturday, well from 11am until 8pm, talking to "Law Student guy". It felt like I was doing most of the talking, but I obviously enjoyed talking to him while he was getting snowed in at school. I was at home getting iced in, which kept me from my possible last minute plan of going to meet him.

Sunday I woke up and was looking forward to talking to him all day again. We were talking for awhile through most of the Eagles/Giants game. However, we did get into a discussion because he doesn't think that football is a hard sport. I think he actually said as much in the 2 hours of this discussion than he did all the previous week. His argument was that although football is entertaining, it's not hard. Especially compared to cycling and rugby.

Now, I think all three sports are tough...any sport is tough. But it seemed like he was trying to convince me that NFL players are overpaid pussies. I don't agree with that and there wasn't anything he could say to convince me otherwise. After a couple hours, I said that we needed to agree to disagree about the level of athleticism required in football. As someone who is preparing to argue for a living, he seemed to want to continue. I'm really not big on arguing over Gtalk with someone I haven't even met yet. On top of that, football is my favorite sport and I'm not ever going to admit that it's not tough if I don't agree with it.

However, following that discussion, I haven't really heard from him. School did start back up on Friday, but he didn't seem to have a problem talking all day Saturday and the first half of Sunday. He keeps saying that he'll be right back, then disappears for hours. He's said he's been reading, but I know he was also on Match.com because I went to his profile to check out some of the info he had (in regard to cycling) and he was on Match. Or I'd at least expect him to say "hey - I have a bunch of reading for class. I'll say hi when I'm done if you're still online."

I figure that I'll see how things go this week and if we meet on Saturday like we had talked about last Saturday. I'm not going to be surprised if he doesn't IM me again or meet up with me Saturday because I feel like he's blowing me off. It could be that I was just spoiled last week since he was still on break for most of the week, which I'm hoping. I just think it's odd that it went from someone who immediately sent me an IM the second he got online if I was online or vice versa. Now he gets online and doesn't message me. When I went to message him, we spoke for about a minute and then he'd do the "be right back" thing. It's just better for me to be prepared since I'm getting the feeling of being blown off. My instincts have been spot on so far as I've been doing this online dating, so I'm going to have to go with my instincts and hope to be pleasantly surprised.
