Well, here we are... 24 days and Maxi finally entered into Open Communication! I had two outstanding messages since Monday, but I was too afraid to open them and see what they said. I don't know why I'm afraid. It reminds me again of C, who just chickened out altogether. It seems like it's becoming a possibility to meet someone (I don't meet as in "meet" but literally go out and meet someone in person). I read their messages and responded back. But let me tell you, it was really hard. It's really awkward once you're in open communication.
I'm at the stage with the engineer (and no, not on the railroad!) where I have to initiate open communication. But once again, I am really nervous. From what I can gather, he is really great and I'm really excited that I made it to this point with him. So far, we've had great banter in the 2nd questions, and he really is super witty and clever. I just know I want to meet him. I'm really stressing out though, I want to make my first email perfect, so I'm waiting while I think about it. I can't wait too long though, or he'll lose interest. But does anyone else get as stressed out in OC as me? The only problem is he lives far away. But I've been excited about this guy since they matched me up. I bet nothing happens though. Isn't that the way it always goes?
Another question I have, what's the average number of people that eHarmony users have in open communication at any time? It really was a lot harder to get to this point than I thought. I thought I'd be be-bopping all over this thing, which I was, just not be-bopping to OC. It was more of a be-bop straight to the dumping! haha!
Oh, and I have another question! I doubt any of these get answered, but I want to know the protocol. Do we reference eHarmony at all? I mean, in the OC, say something about how it's weird, or how about when/if you meet someone? Do you say something then? I don't know what the proper procedure is.
So many questions. And I'm about done with my first month!
21 current matches (15 in communication)
122 closed matches
I've received 7 matches every day that I've been able to receive them. Over the course of this month, I probably closed down for a total of about 7 or 8 days. Today, I got 9 matches. That was weird. I think I'll close down again. My new matches are not great. They've been really far away and have had less traits that I'm interested in. Besides, the more matches I receive, the more likely it is that I'll know one of them...yikes! But on the other hand, the more I get, the more likely one will be a real match. So, who knows. It's tough navigating this on your own. I really want to know what the people on the other side of the match are doing and thinking!
Tomorrow I have a game night/cook out at a friend's house, so either I won't have time to log on, or I'll be drunk and get into another EWI situation! haha! Better not communicate with anyone I care about if that's the case! Especially not in open communication!
xoxo, Maxi
