Day 15

I have been checking my personal email obsessively to see if I have gotten any responses to my multiple emails. I receive only one notification that I have a new message in the last 12 hours. Low self esteem kicks in. What's wrong with meeee? How come no one's looking at me or sending me email? When I log in to the site this afternoon (I know, it's not my allotted time but I wanted to get to the *one* message that was waiting for me), again I am asked if I want to unsuspend my membership. Now, I'm not saying that having my membership in a state of suspension is the only reason that I'm not getting any "hits", so to speak, but it probably isn't helping if my profile doesn't show up on the site. I call customer service again, but they see nothing wrong with my profile, and don't know why the suspension keeps happening. Perhaps someone else is using my account, or my computer? No, I say, it's just me. I live alone, and no one uses my computer. Call us back if it happens again, they say. How is that going to help? I shake my fist at the ceiling, in the imagined direction of all things JDate.

The message is from Bike Guy, one of the seven I emailed last night. His profile caught my eye because it was well-written and refers to some biking adventures that sound interesting. I have a newly acquired interest in mountain biking, so my message to him contained some local references that he might recognize. His response to me is written well, so I write back again.

I forgot to mention the other day that IM Guy tried IM'ing me again, but with a different username. I declined, of course, because you can't fool me with a new name!

To recap the potential suitors:
B. - 2nd date tonight
Funny Guy - offered me VIP passes to a local event; will meet him when I pick them up
Fitness Guy - nothing since our last IM exchange
Martial Arts Guy and this other guy without a nickname - they sent me a flirt, I sent an email back, no subesquent responses
IM Guy - seriously, I wish he'd stop.

The people I emailed last night:
Bike Guy - need I say more? We've exchanged emails
Tie Guy - good looking professional, self-proclaimed sports fanatic
Professional Guy - practicing professional who's into yoga and soccer
Young Guy - he's young, he said he's not looking for anything serious, but he's so cute
Shy Guy - he said he's shy but funny, and he's not from here
Lawyer Guy - outdoorsy
East Coast Guy - guess where he's from originally? Also, very witty.

I see that I tend to choose people based on how they write, even though I fall for a pretty face once in a while.
