Of course when I decide that I'm going to cancel my match account, another interesting guy emails me. This guy is Air Traffic Controller. Used to be a Marine, and moved out from New York to this little place called Leona Valley (which I'm sure most people have never heard of. I only know about it because my dad grew up there.). Oh, and he's 100% Sicilian. Check, check and check. Yes please. His email was actually pretty witty. Threw me a bunch of questions: morning bird or night owl; sushi or eww raw fish!; sky dive or push my friends out first; Starbucks or Jamba Juice. I felt like he actually put a little time into his email, though you know it's something cute he thought of many, many, many profiles ago. But, he also mentioned that he loved my profile, and I'm a sucker for flattery! Plus, he's a USC fan, so you know I'm smitten. Since I've decided to end my profile for a while, I gave him my email address and told him he could respond to that. I know it's only been a week, but I don't think I can handle having it up right now. There's just too much going on with school and work that I don't have time to truly devote to that endeavor. I'm going to postpone the internet thing for a while, I've decided.

The first guy emailed me again and asked when we could hang out. I responded "Don't you think it's odd that I don't even know your name or what you do for a living?" which actually means, "I think it's odd!!" We'll see if he responds to that. I have not given him my email address and may have to just let my profile disappear on that guy.

The Teacher is still in the running. His emails really amuse me. He seems like a pretty normal guy, which I guess makes him abnormal. I'm a little worried about his love of the University of Texas. My sister's boyfriend is already a UT fan, and if I start dating a UT fan, there may be a mutiny on this ship! I think my family has a "1 traitor" limit. I know that if I go home and tell my dad "Dad, an Italian USC loving Air Traffic Controller, or a Texas fan who is a Teacher" he'd automatically go with the first guy. Actually, that's not entirely true. First he'd say "I don't care." Then when my mom nagged him enough into responding, he'd go with the first guy.

Last, but not least, and certainly most persistent is the Computer guy. (He works in IT and I met him on a computer..so it works both ways.) I liked talking to this guy, but he's already smothering me. And, for me to say that, you know it's a lot of contact!! He ims me ALLL the time. So much so that I actually blocked him for a couple hours this morning so I could get some peace. I gave him my number cause we were gonna do a "first phone call", but I told him I was too tired last night and he said "How about you just get ready for bed and then call me just to say goodnight?" Um, how about you stop being so creepy? I mean, I always say I want someone in my life so I have someone to say goodnight to. But, that's for after I actually know him, and we've had a phone call saying hello. I think he's trying to be cute, but it's coming off as weird. Don't get me wrong, I do like attention, and I like a guy who wants to talk to me. But, when it's nonstop and we haven't even hung out once yet...eeek! Our conversations are fun and all, but it's starting to make me not want to hang out with him. The plus side: at least it's showing me what not to do myself in future relationships. Now I see how things I thought were cute (i.e. texting in the morning just to say hi) can come off as really, really creepy. And annoying. Makes a cool person instantly less cool. Oops.
