No, we've had soooo many days off - but not Veteran's Day. What's up with that?
Tonight: sew pants!
Hope grading was good times,

That was it. Short, with no mention of a possible second date. Confusing. So on Wednesday night, I wrote him back. But now it's Friday night, and I still haven't heard from him.

Boys are the most complicated creatures on earth. I think I spend half my time waiting for a reply e-mail... well - maybe not half - but far too much time.
Damn boys.
Patience is the name of the game!...I can understand it so much!...somehow I think these dating sites and all these tools are so men-centric!...but you know what I do?...I dont wait ever for a guy...rather I always keep some options :)...ok ok it sounds a little promiscuous but its not exactly like that...these thing that I use called Bluepont helps me meet 2-3 guys and whenever I want...so I dont wait for any one guy now :)hahahahaha...why should guys have all the fun??? ;)
Boys are not that complicated...I think women just choose to go after the ones they can't readily have...same can be said for guys...
But I liked Long Island Grad Student on our first date, when I thought I *would* be able to readily have him. I mean, he's single, has a profile on eHarmony and was willing to meet for a first date -- the man is not unavailable. I guess he just doesn't like me as much as I like him.
I don't know... maybe he is just really shy... maybe he is digesting the first date. Maybe he is sick. Maybe he is trying to apply one of those stupid blahblah days rules (although showing your underpants one the first date without even kissing is not one of them).
or... yeah...maybe he is going on other first dates and weighing his options.
Well... a little time will tell I suppose...
one thing is sure though, if he was not that much into you, obviously, he sucks.
"Boys are the most complicated creatures on earth."
That's funny! Guys are insanely simple. Women are so complicated, they just can't understand how we can be so...basic. That's what throws you off.
Ms. Guru,
Try the phone instead of email. I know there are times I go without checking my email for days. If you like him, ask him out again. It's 2008 for crying out loud. If you get a "no" or the run around, you know it's time to move on. Life is too short to waste time on people who are wishy washy. Sometimes the most direct route is the best course of action. Keep it simple and if there are questions, confront the men you're meeting. If they're interested, they'll respond properly. If not, you'll get more deflective or even a direct "no" response. Simple. Takes a little guts to pull it off if you've never done it before, but it will empower you if you perfect it.

Aw, thanks, Fair Fairy! :)
Glenn, I thought about it, but during our date Long Island Grad Student told me he only has a cell phone, even though he often doesn't get reception at work, school or home (?), so he frequently has to go outside periodically during the day to check his voicemails.
If he really liked me, he definitely would've responded to my e-mail. I mean, that's what normal people of both genders do. If I don't hear from him by next week I'll send him a "happy Thanksgiving" e-mail and ask him if he'd like to get together again. But I've learned the hard way that if you have to chase someone down, it's because they're just not that into you.
