After a wonderful dinner with a close friend last night, I went home and logged onto the Site. Once on the site, I did the next two steps quickly and with minimal thought, like tearing off a Band-Aid. I don't know why I was in such a hurry, I just was. Maybe I didn't want to allow myself time to overthink everything? I answered Mark's multiple choice questions quickly. I knew what my answers were without really even thinking about them because I've received all the questions from various guys before. Then I clicked on the button to send him the five standard multiple choice questions that I send to all guys.
I immediately had an "OH CRAP" moment after I clicked on the Send Questions button. One of them asks to pick the best option that describes his parents' relationship. I already KNOW the deal with his parents' relationship. They are divorced and it wasn't a good situation. He more or less can't stand his father. I immediately felt like an ass for sending that question to him and wondered what he'd think when he saw it.
I was floored when, an hour later, I received an email notification that he had replied with his answers. His answers were pretty much what I knew they'd be. But the way in which he explained the situation with his parents makes me worry that he doesn't really know it's ME that he's communicating with. But how could he NOT?? I mean, dating for 8 weeks just over 3 years ago is most likely just a slight blip on his dating radar, but could he not remember me at all? Is it possible that my slightly unusual name, my photos, my mention of where I'm from and the things I'm interested didn't resonate with him at all? It seems so far fetched... he would have had to have suffered blunt head trauma (or be a total idiot) for that to be the case. Right???
The next step in communication falls to me. I owe him a reply tonight and will do so after the gym and dinner. My wise sister told me that I am limited to one step in communication per day. A wise friend agreed and said to do otherwise would make me appear overeager. Stellar points ladies!
No word from any of the other potential guys on the horizon, not counting Brian. After rescheduling our date for Friday, I don't expect to hear from him 'til tomorrow when we pick a time and place. I'm excited to meet him - and see what he looks like and learn more about him - tomorrow! I'm trying so hard not to get too caught up in this ridiculously wild and crazy Mark situation. I need to not let it take over my thoughts and dating efforts.

You & I have already worked this out over email, Nay, but just so your other blog-readers know what we decided: the reason Mark responded with all of the info about his parents is because you sent the question about the parents. I'm sure he was thinking that you just didn't remember those details from when you two were together 3 years ago, hence why you chose that as one of your questions. I'm also positive it is no reflection on whether or not he remembers you from the past.
On another note, also for fellow readers of Nay's blog: I will be collecting bets as whether or not Brian & Nay actually get to meet this Friday, or if something else will fatefully come up to yet again intervene in their meeting.
