Ok, so my week has stared off well. Got to hang out with my sisters, saw a Grizzlies game, Ashleigh is back in town. WOO-HOO!!! So things are good. Which is probably what gave me the confidence to “nudge” this guy on eHarmony. Because anyone in their right mind would just be patient and let the fellows come to them. But no, there was this guy that was a “match” for me the first night I signed up. He was the all-star before Maverick came along. And honestly at this point Maverick is BY FAR my favorite even above this dude. Hmm let’s call him Jack. So Jack seems like a neat guy, I think he went to Union. (he’s wearing a Union t-shirt in his pics, I’m no real detective) Anyways, once we were matched I gave him a couple days to send me communication and when he didn’t I sent it to him. And now, a month or so later I’ve never heard anything but he also hasn’t closed the match. I had decided he, along with about 10 other guys who won’t respond to me but haven’t closed the match either, had found someone already on eHarmony and was embarking on his happily ever after with her. But this weekend Jack updated his profile telling me that my theory was indeed wrong and that he’s just ignoring me. haha So I “nudged” him which i think sends some kind of annoying, semi-desparate sounding (ok, maybe more than semi) e-mail “reminding” him he hasn’t responded to me. I did it on a whim, just to kind of see what happens. But now as the day goes on, it seems weirder and weirder. haha I mean do you really want to start something with a guy you have to “nudge” to even get him to talk to you? That will be an awkward topic forever. “haha remember when you wouldn’t even talk to me and I annoyed you through e-mail for like a month and then you did talk to me? hahaha (mocking laugh)” AWKWARD!!! Nudging is lame, as am I for using it. So we’ll chalk the nudge up to experience and see what happens but I think it was my first and last one.
And while we’re on the topic of lame vs. cool my last e-mail to Maverick got increasingly long. You know there’s that appropriate length of e-mail and then it gets crazy? Like when you open a really long e-mail you think to yourself “WHOA, what in the world did they write?” my e-mail crossed that line. Jen told me that it read well, didn’t seem crazy long but still!! So I’m vowing that my next e-mail to him will be short and sweet!!! PRACTICE some self control! lol
And lastly, I’ve just been kind of giving some space to the deal with Gabe. Shorter text message responses etc. Hopefully that will fade away calmly. Think good thoughts
