Default Overheating problems!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Alright guys....here's the deal....I have a 92 Prelude that I have been driving and tonight on the way over to my gf house it just started overheating. After letting the car cool down for a while, I went outside and checked over a few things. I first checked the coolant level and everything there was ok. Than I checked for any leaks and there were absolutly none to be found. After that I pulled all the spark plugs and checked to see if there was any coolant on them and there was none. Cyl 3 and 4 were a little wet, but there were no signs of a blown headgasket to be found. I did a compression check on the motor just to see if the headgasket could be blown and everything came out 200-210 across the board. After that I checked around the timing belt cover to see if there was any leaking from the water pump and I couldn't see any. So at this time I am a little perplexed as to what the issue could be. I am open to any suggestions.

lol....Replaced the thermostat this morning, rebled the system, coolant levels fine, and car still overheating. No leaks what so ever anywhere, and I've checked all the hoses. Really starting to confuse me here.

Then it might be your water pump??
