Okay, I have a few updates, and I don't feel like starting another thread. so here goes.
No, I have not heard from him, even though it's been almost a month since my last contact to him (I called his number on September 26th, but just to see if his voice mail was still there - it was).
He has a birthday in December, so my current plan is to wait until then (at the longest) and send him a "happy birthday" text or Facebook message. I'm hoping under those circumstances I'll have a better chance at getting a response because a) it will have been three months since I heard from him, b) it's his birthday, so he'll probably be in a good mood, and c) he might be flattered that I remembered his birthday. Still, I'm concerned that once his birthday comes around, I'll get depressed, because I won't be around to celebrate it with him, like he celebrated my own birthday with me.
Also, an old flame of mine is sending signals that he might be interested in me again (or at least interested in having sex with me, but I don't know if it's out of pity because of my current circumstances). I'm starting to think that going out with someone else might actually be beneficial, because it could get my mind off of John (the guy I've dedicated this thread to).
Anyway, that's about all I have to say right now.
