Like a virgin

I've done it. I've started sending some messages to people on okcupid. Now, because this is a new adventure, I tend to log in at least once or twice a day (or 10) to see what's happening and to take more "improve your matchability" tests and to check my mail. So far, I've only heard from two people - the bi-guy looking for friends (BG) and the somewhat normal guy (NG) looking to chat. BG and his partner have a kid and seem pretty nice but are just friend material. The NG guy also seems nice but just for chatting. I took the initiative and wrote to someone I thought might be fun guy (FG) but he hasn't returned the favor yet. If I don't receive a reply to a message sent, does it mean:

a] the guy is on vacation and hasn't read his mail in a while?
b] he has seen your profile/image and finds you repulsive?
c] he was injured in a sky diving accident in which he broke all the bones in his body and is having to peck out his messages with his nose and it's taking a very long time?
d] he has received SOOOOOOOO many "woo" messages that he just hasn't had time to respond to them all?
e] the idea of speaking to a woman with such impressive credentials as mine is intimidating and it's taking a while to come up with a clever enough message to impress me?
f] he choked on a turkey sandwich and is lying dead on his couch in front of the TV which is tuned to the porn channel?
f] zombies have taken over his neighborhood and he is holed up in his basement with nothing but a lighter and some Pez and is kicking himself for not getting wi-fi?

I hope it isn't [b] and if it's [f], I better get out the buzz saw and start boarding up my windows.

UPDATE: Oh my GOD! I think I just saw a photo of someone I know! He's the dad of one of my kid's friends. Oh noooooooooooooooooo!

When I was on OkCupid both me and a friend also on their were wooed (or whatever) by the same guy. It was funny. Good luck!

I like to believe (A) if he does end up returning the chat and (F) if he never contacts you. Dead is for sure the answer if you don't get an email back.
