Why Hasn't He Emailed Me?

Recently, I was contacted by a guy friend from my past. The two of us had become friends, although not close ones, during an internship our senior year of college. He was good looking, shy, smart, and very nice (which in my world, equal soo hot)! Unfortunately, our relationship stayed "just friends" and we lost contact with each other when we went back to our respective schools at the end of the internship. I hadn't really thought about him for many years when I received a random Facebook message from him wondering how I was and what I was up to these days. When I tried to respond, my anti-virus software would redirect me stating that if overridden, my computer would have "malicious software downloaded." Crap. Well, being the scaredy cat that I am about that stuff, I never got a chance to FB him back. Then (3 weeks later), I had a bright idea: go on to his FB page, get his email address, and email him from my hotmail account! What luck- while on his site I was able to a) confirm that he was still good looking (and possibly in better shape than before); b) find out that he was SINGLE and still interested in WOMEN (check and check); c) that his network was in D/FW (holla!); and d) what his personal email address was. With a girlish giggle, I was able to dash off a witty yet breezy response to his email telling him how fabulously I was doing, complete with invitation to get together for catching up if he was still in the D/FW area.

Ok-that was LAST week! Why hasn't he called, ooops, I mean, emailed me? Is it completely sad that I am wishing and hoping for some freaking words on a computer? Seriously, I have been walking around my house with a bounce in my step and checking my email more that usual in hopes that he has emailed me back with a hello, an update on his life, and an invitation to dinner. ALL because I received a three-liner asking me how I was. Either I am a) desperate; b) a hopeless romantic who is less cute than Ginnifer Goodwin in "He's Just Not That Into You"; or c) placing all my faith in a guy I actually know because my Eharmony subscription for anonymous Johns has yet to pay for itself!

My Question Dear Readers is: Why hasn't he emailed me? He started it! I answered. It's his turn again!
