BOY UPDATE: I e-mailed Cueball Tuesday night and told him I would like to take the conversation off eHarmony - their e-mail system is annoying and makes my computer fan go "aaaahhhhh!!!" so I sent him my e-mail. I also told him I would not be averse to exchanging phone numbers, but "we are trained to live in fear of appearing too aggressive!" So I put that joke and no number. He answered within like, an hour, and said he thought that was a great idea, gave me his e-mail AND his phone number. Gasp!
So Wednesday morning I sent him a text. We texted a little that morning, then again in the evening. It was fun; just goofy talk about nothin'. He asked me about the con, I sent him a picture of the guy with the bots and he was impressed (he hasn't seen much MST3K but he's seen some, and likes it). Yesterday morning I was going to wait and see if he texted me, but I got to work and the system was down so I had nothing to do. I sent him a text saying that, and so today's question was - movies! He never responded. :( An hour later I texted again saying it was up again, and "Thanks for nothing!" Still didn't get anything all day. :(
Today I haven't texted - still nothing from him. I know he's busy, he's got an assistant editor job plus an internship plus school & homework, and he told me that his childhood BFF was coming to visit him from Minnesota June 1-18, and he wanted to make sure even with everything else he had to do that he had time to spend with his friend. I'm guessing yesterday he was just getting things done and getting ready for her to come, and today is the arrival date (of her and possibly her family?) so obviously he'd be busy. I did send him an e-mail today because he'd said he wanted to read some of my writing sometime, and it TURNS OUT that the publisher of Bronies put up three preview stories today to encourage buyers - and mine is one of them! Go see! So I sent him a short e-mail saying I understood if he was busy, so I was sending an e-mail he could answer at his leisure :P and sent him the link to my stupid pony story. That was a few hours ago, so...we'll see.
I'm trying not to be discouraged by the silence. It's not like I'm getting mad or jealous or weird like some girls do, but I have a tendency to assume guys lose interest in me almost instantly. I'm trying not to think, "Well I must have said something too weird," or "I must not be interesting or funny enough." I mean, our emails and texts have all been pleasant and entertaining, it's not like anything weird happened that would make him just drop off the face of the earth. And we exchanged a lot of lengthy e-mails, so it's not like he'd give me his number, text for one day and then be like "nope!" So...just being patient.
Also, my ten-year high school reunion is tonight. I paid for the ticket several weeks ago, and of course today I'm wondering why I wanted to go. As far as I can tell, I'm not sure anyone I was friends with in high school is going. There's a dinner tonight and a thing at a park tomorrow for kids. Obviously I'm not going to that, and the Dirty Dash is tomorrow anyway, but the more I look at the Facebook event the more I think, "All these people are still friends with each other, why am I even going," so we'll see if it's a good night or if I just sit in a corner hoping no one will really notice me just like ten years ago in high school. Sigh. At least ComedySportz will be there. That should be fun.
