I spent a good portion of the weekend talking to "Med student guy" - online, on the phone...just not in person yet. He went back to the hospital Saturday afternoon and it turns out that he had an infection where they gave him the injection of cortisone. According to a scientist friend of mine, this is fairly common. The hospital gave "Med student guy" antibiotics and his knee has been doing much better. He said that his knee isn't red anymore and the swelling has started going down. Today will be a good test since he was planning on going to class today. Fortunately, he only missed Friday classes so he won't be too far behind.
Talking to him last night, he is just as excited to meet me in person as I am to meet him. The anticipation increased even more last night as a second date has already been planned for the Pitt/WVU basketball game in 2 weeks. "Med student guy" said that he was going to get tickets and asked if I would like to go with him. Without any hesitation I answered, "yes!" This is really a big risk since what if we meet and he doesn't look like his picture or we don't click in person like we do now. I have a pretty good feeling that it will work out fine, but it really is a big risk to plan a second date before we've even had the first.
At least he and I agree on college sports. New revelations from weekend conversation:
1. I'm a Flyers fan; he's a Pens fan
2. He is a Cowboys fan, but not a Steelers fan. In fact, according to "Med student guy", the Steelers are his 31st favorite team.
The first one I can handle, the second one is going to be tough! How can he have grown up in Pittsburgh and not even have the Steelers in his top 3 teams??? I was devastated when he said he was going to root for the Cardinals. I was considering asking him to come to watch the Super Bowl with me, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with his un-fandom. That and it makes me nervous as the last Cowboys fan that I met ended up never calling me again. And I said I would learn from that experience that Cowboys fans are no good. And what are we going to do for 6 months out of the year when I'm watching football and cheering for the Steelers. It will be very complicated. I'm sure a compromise may be reached, except that the Eagles are my third favorite team and they're in the same division as the Cowboys.
At this point though, I need to just finally meet "Med student guy". I'm hoping I'll have a better idea of when we'll get to meet tonight after he sees how the day at school goes.

Half the people I know have opposing-fan men in their lives. Find something else to worry about :) Or don't.
Sometimes it makes watching the game more fun when you have someone to root against. I agree with Ashley, don't worry about it. This guy sounds great, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Thank you for setting me on the right path! I do like him too much to let his football affiliation stop me :) I was just shocked since he was at both playoff games! It totally threw me for a loop. I wasn't prepared...I am now though! :)
