Because I'm waiting to see what happens with "Law school guy" and the plans that we're supposed to have Saturday afternoon, the week has decided to drag along. I still haven't received more than 10 words from "Law school guy". Yesterday I said 'hi' in the morning, but I received a "hey - gotta go to class".
Now, I understand the amount of work that law school requires as I didn't see one of my best friends for almost 3 years, even though she lived in Pittsburgh. However, he has time to be on Match.com. I know - I've been on there to close out non-cute or too-short guys who wink at me. For all I know, maybe he's doing the same thing, but I just have a bad feeling about this. And I'm usually spot on with my gut instincts and men.
Yesterday I was getting to the end of my patience with the silence and I decided that I was taking it out of my hands. It's "Law student guy's" responsibility now. I sent him an IM that said, "hey - give me a call when you're not in class or doing schoolwork so we can talk for a bit." I was expecting nothing in return, especially since I switched my Gtalk status to busy. However, I get a message back that said "ok no worries." Now, despite my overthinking, this could be a glimmer of hope that I'm just going insane due to too many months of online dating. Maybe the translation of this is "Don't worry - I'll call you. I really am just busy with school." That or it's just a trained response and he has no intention of talking to me again.
In my frustration yesterday, I signed up for PlentyOfFish.com. I heard from a couple other friends who tried Match.com with little success that I should try this site, too. However, another friend of mine who has done some online dating site research mentioned to me that this was a site for people looking to hookup. So it's a lot like Match.com, but it's free! However, I did select all of the options to eliminate the sexual predators so let's hope it works. I wish there was a way to filter out messages from people outside of my age range and also the ones with kids.
Especially people with kids. I have been on this site for less than 24 hours and have received 10 messages so far and roughly the same number of IM requests. But most of these are people with kids. There are more people that are divorced with kids on this site than on Match. I guess they're saving for their kids' college tuition by trying the free online dating site. However, the upside is that there are more tall guys compared to Match. We'll have to see how this compares.
In the meantime, can it be Saturday so I can find out what the deal is with "Law student guy"??
