I have a theory.

I think the men on match.com spend Sunday through Wednesday setting up for their big weekends. This means Thursday through Saturday end up being 'dead' days. While my profile was viewed Thu-Sat, it wasn't viewed as often as last Sunday-Wed. However, last week most ppl had off of work Mon-Wed., so maybe my theory is bunk. Also, I may have just lost popularity, but I am ok with that in lieu the current emailing situation.

Current situation - I had two emails I was just looking at, one from RR and one from foreign guy. Foreign guy seemed like he was saying, 'hey, nice talking to you and I'll get a hold of you when I get back in town'. However, I wrote him a couple of lines in response after he asked me if I wanted a gift from the Abba museum. To which I said that was tempting and flattering, but I'd pass. Instead, I asked him about the crazy things he'd eaten. I expected I'd hear back from him in the next few days (or not), but he wrote me within 30 minutes. Sent me like six photos of the local European market with all the meats and cheeses. He also wrote like three paragraphs, so he was apparently not feeling chatty. On the downside, it was three paragraphs about food and such, so interesting but kind of generic. Also, he made me really hungry (sorry Em, the beef and mac & cheese just isn't cutting it for me at 9pm tonight).

I wrote RR and agreed to have a drink with him sometime this week. He said he'd come over to my town (being that he lives in the nearby city - 20-30 minutes away). Which is flattering that he'd drive over to my neck of the woods (any suggestions for a good bar?). He also called me Maverick (channeling Sarah Palin or McCain - dear god I hope not) and said it was my call where and when, because he can meet me on Wed. or Thu. (the days I have free this week). I also made sure to ask if he had a pinky ring and told him "you have to promise me two things if we meet up (1) you won’t wear a pinky ring (if you own one) and (2) if you do own one you will pretend you don’t." Luckily, last email he assured me "I do not own a pink ring. To my knowledge, none of my friends own a pinky ring. I do not circulate within a pinky ring set." Very good to know, just now need to figure out where and when this week. I am pretty nervous...

Finally, L wrote me to tell me that she had seen a M seeking W ad on CL that featured her name and details about her, that was something about how L had left him for her current lawyer boyfriend and how this person was looking for a new girl. She was of course understandably freaked, so I wrote the guy to do some recon. Turns out she chatted with a guy last week who did a funny CL post (no, there was another besides the cougar). He ended up seeming sweet and she accidentally left her signature (with full name, email, work addy) in the email. So, this guy pointed it out and told her after a few back and forth seriously innocent emails and full knowledge of her boyfriend, that he should send her flowers (which he did, he sent her the receipt, but they never arrived). Now, he posted that on CL, I guess to get her attention. He also told her that he has all of her addresses for the last 10 years, which I guess telling her is better than not telling her? Inadvertently, he's got my name and she told him the town and state I live in, and that she's coming down to see me this weekend. He's also a trucker, so I can't stop with the 'Candy Cane' jokes... if I end up dead, or we both do this weekend, do let someone know.

Also, L and I, and possibly a friend of hers who is coming with, are planning on chick evening this Friday night (then on to a fetish night Saturday). Who's up for ladies night out (oh the ladies!)?
