Just more of a What Would you do strawpoll

I was at a party at the weekend, a long way from home. On the dance floor I got chatting to a friend of a friend and we chatted. We were both a bit tipsy, and then his phone rang and said he had to take it. I thought it was a 50/50 he was brushing me off, so I waited a minute (we were at a table), and then I thought rather than look desperate I'd go off dancing again! When I looked, he'd gone back to the table, couldn't see me, put his coat on and left.

I found him through FB, and in case I was the rude one, I was tempted to say sorry. I'm not doing this in the expectation it will lead to anything.

So, is it weird or stalkerish to send a short note to apologise, or a polite friendly thing to do?

I would probably not contact him.

If you do want to things to go somewhere with the man - could you post something on your mutual friends page about how much you enjoyed the party, really busy evening, etc etc, and see if the man replies to it/you?

If he was interested would he not contact you?

This is more a politeness thing, as the party was in Scotland, I live in the south of england, he seemed nice, but I'm in no way thinking this is a relationship thing

I don't see any harm in sending a 'hope you don't think I was being rude' message. it's not wierd or stalkery, and you will be able to tell from his reply if he wants to start a conversation.

I would do it. I don't see why it should always be the man that gets in touch - and I would think that if he was interested he probably got the idea that you weren't, as you weren't there when he got back.

Just friendly, no overtones - nothing to lose.

Do the post on mutals friends wall instead - dont apologise - looks desparate, why are you apologising anyway = he took a call and had to leave?

Add him as a friend and see what happens?

You don't really need to apologize for dancing, he left to take a call.

Have you ever seen the film 'He's just not that in to you' and the bit where the main guy character Alex explains that ?if a man is interested in a woman, he will overcome any obstacles to ensure they meet again?
So let him chase you
