the level of anticipation in relation to meeting this guy: through the roof!

of course i've had other dates over the past 6 months, but nothing too spectacular. one thing i've learned is to not wait too long before meeting someone, because in-person chemistry is what it all really comes down to in my book. we've just had bad luck...which will either result in monumentally bad luck when we meet (i waited 6 months for this?!?) or perhaps something good....we shall see...
