Day 9

When I log in to JDate, I get a message asking if I want to unsuspend my membership. This has happened a few times. So is my membership suspended when I'm not logged in? I send a question to JDate's Help Desk.

I check to see if B. has been online. I've been "lurking" around his profile; that is, I go to the JDate main page and do a narrow search as a guest so he comes up in the results, and I can see whether he's logged in recently without having to sign in. I notice that B. has not logged in since we set a date to meet. Should I be flattered or scared?

A few minutes later, I see B. has logged in, so I IM him. At the same time, Fitness Guy IM's me. I figure, I can multitask, so I chat with them both simultaneously. I am afraid that I'll type a response to the wrong guy, causing mass confusion and embarrassment, but I seem to manage ok.

I have a really good chat with B., where we find we have similar opinions on smoking (hate it), movies (loved "The Machinist), and certain US cities (like to visit, wouldn't want to live there). I ask him to fill in the details about where he's lived, and he obliges. I'm really looking forward to our date Saturday!

The chat with Fitness Guy is also good; we trade some fitness stories, but I'm paying more attention to B.

After signing off with both suitors, I reply to a message from Funny Guy.

Just your average day on JDate...
