Should I email him? I feel about 14 years old!

[wordsareeverything]

Dear all,
I've NC for this as it feels so
I worked in a particular job for 6 months and my contract ended quite recently.
There was a person in another department I vaguely chatted to about 3 times.
On my penultimate day, we ended up sitting together & I felt this chemistry.... Can't explain. We only chatted a bit but it was pretty interesting.
Always thought he was in a relationship but I asked an ex-colleague to (subtlety) find out and it appears that he is separated & living alone.
I have his work email address.
We barely spoke and I don't even know if he knows who I am.
Should I email him and ask if he'd like to go for a drink?
Is there a way to do this without coming across as an absolute lune?
By the way, I have been online dating for ages & he's the first person I've felt a real spark with in absolutely ages. Or should I just leave it well alone?

Fingers crossed!!

Oooooh how exciting!!!! Everything crossed for you!

Fingers crossed for a meet up

Aw I hope you get a reply today :-) Good luck

Whatever the outcome it was a good thing to do, good for you OP!

No reply yet...
I'll have another and hopefully will have an update for you later.

He could be doing anything, off sick, in a meeting, with a client - it's still early for a response.

Hopefully it'll be positive news later, but even if not, you've done a great thing - nothing ventured and all that!

Thanks for the reassurance Luxurywoman
Or maybe he's an avid reader of MN and is sitting in a dark room cringing!

If he's read it yet, he'll be feeling really flattered and composing his reply in his head. Wouldn't expect an instant reply as he will want to play it cool.

He will probably reply after work when he's not busy, trying not to look too eager and thinking of the best reply he can. That's if hes even seen it yet

On a separate note, just been in the pharmacy with my daughter & got home to find an O.L.D message saying 'thought I recognised you! Just seen you in the chemist! Coffee sometime?'
I'm SO ditching my O.L.D account... That's just WEiRD!
Still no email... Not feeing hopeful, MN.....

Don't give up hope just yet OP

Praying he replies as i love a good old romantic thread

It's July. He might be on holiday. Still early days.

Email him... something like 'are you spaghetti? I'd like to meat your balls.' Or something more traditional like... 'was really nice to speak to you the other day, fancy going for a few drinks next week? My mobile number is xxxxx'
It's not like you have to face him if he knocks you back, same goes for if he turns out to still live with his mum and has 35 cats.

Ahh, I see you've already emailed him. Good luck

Cheesychips that's hilarious. Just spat water all over my desk!
Good luck op!

I'm not going to get any work done now ive seen this thread!

Any news?

👋 No news
Maybe as peeps said he's on hols/off sick/he's still planning the most epic reply in history.... Maybe just another flattering email to add to his 'flattering email folder'.

Think he's quite rude if he doesnt reply. It took a lot for you to send that message and not fair for him to not give you an answer, either way. But there's still time

He will be ill on holiday, writing his fabulous reply.
That will explain the delay😘

@wordsareeverything ah I'm hoping you get a response soon.

The O.L.D. message is weird af though... was it someone you recognised?! That would make me feel weird tbh.

Questionarhino Yep really weird!
The chemist is two mins from our home & I was vagually aware of someone else in there but we haven't even messaged on there or anything!
Weird and creepy.
Blocked him pronto!
What's wrong with people?

Hope he replies!

🙏🏻🙏🏻hoping for a response

Could it have gone into a junk mail or spam folder? Hope not but this can happen.
