Happy New Year!!

I am "girl on a mission": I am on match.com; signed up with eharmony; submitted myself to selectivesearch; and will likely join chemistry.com. Is there any more that I can possibly do? Will something come about in 2008?

I shouldn't complain too much. December has been a popular month. I've gotten several inquiries from new guys, mostly through match. The difficulty has been finding time with the holidays, trip planning and trip taking. I was haw-flaking but am now recommitted to taking the "dating project" seriously. That means, actually emailing, calling and meeting even though it's a bit of a drag. With all the potentials, I've managed to not actually meeting anyone this month.

On that note, I called a new guy: "R". He emailed me WAY TOO MUCH, but the new me attitude said "proceed regardless". He sounded normal enough on the phone and we may meet for coffee today. I called new guy2: "P" and left a message. He too emailed WAY TOO MUCH, but the directive is clear "proceed regardless".

I got the most flattering initial email from new guy3. Now, looking at the pictures, not much interest. But, really it was quite a flattering email. An excerpt: "I keep coming across you profile and it's one of the most interesting one's I've read yet... It's simple: honest and open, and you TRULY have an interesting, quirky sense of humor! I like that....You've definitely got style my friend!" Of course, the skeptical side says "it's a line it's a line its a line" I haven't responded yet and haven't decided how to respond.
