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?

Ahhh fingers crossed for you OP, he'll be playing it cool for sure. I met a guy, the brother of a mum at school at a New Year's Eve party a few years back, we barely said 2 words to each other but I couldn't stop thinking about him so Facebook messaged him the next day. It took a whole day for him to reply, but he did. We got married last week
Good luck OP

chewingawasp that is entirely possible.. Good point!
I used to occasionally forward stuff from my personal email to my work one & sometimes they went into the junk.... Hmmmmmmmmm.....

Mangomay great story! 😍

Shall I get the crisps off and let's do all the LTB stuff?

Does he work offsite sometimes OP? Maybe he's not checked his emails today.

Fingers crossed

Fingers crossed! Eagerly awaiting his reply lol x

The job is quite 'out & about' & doesn't involve much sitting-at-a-desk time..... So....?

I'm starting to lose interest...
Anyone else got a 'I took a risk' story that ended up a love story? 😍

I took a risk but in those days the computer used the phone line and email addresses were less common so I had to telephone him and finally after 40 minutes got through, asked him out and we went on a date where I proceeded to knock a candle over and nearly set him on fire but following a sports club outing to North America we ended up together and have now been married 14 years. He's not perfect but I wouldn't be without him!

God.... I'm on edge waiting now!

Ha! Brilliant story Hedwig
I'm off to bed.
Wonder if he'll reply tomorrow?
That Friday feeling & all that?!!

I should also say I feel about 14 waiting for his reply too. It may well be in junk. I'll just add that age old saying of the best things come to those who wait! If he sees it he won't be able to ignore it. If he's who you want him to be he won't be able to not respond. X

Just to update.... No update

Why don't you Facebook friend request him? I find people respond to that pretty much straight away and it only involves a click.

:( just read entire thread hoped you would have had a response but holiday or junk folder big possibilities so don't discount it yet op fingers crossed!

He's on leave it reckon. Try to put it to the back of your mind and you may get a nice surprise in a few days.

Oh man, can't believe he didn't reply!
I never liked him anyway op...

Haha! Me neither, Ditzy
You see, his job is away from a screen but a job where he defo has to look at emails at least once a day....
Even if I wasn't the faintest but interested, I'd still reply!
But Yep, maybe off or junk folder.....
Still pleased I did it tho.
To the person who made the Facebook suggestion, I can't find a trace of him on social media.
Only been on FB myself 6 months so not uncommon I guess.
Sorry to disappoint those of you who bought front row seats

Yeah there was something about him I couldn't quite warm to, lucky escape possibly.

It's holiday time of year. Maybe he's on annual leave

Over-invested? Moi?

I'm pleased you did it too. Better than always wondering what if.

He might always just be too busy and when he checks his junk folder next month he'll kick himself at his missed opportunity!

Maybe he's still trying to work out who I am

I was having a GOOD hair day last time I saw him. Maybe I should have said 'wordsareeverything with the good hair' 😉
