Met a guy, do I message him or not?

Early last week I had an overnight stay at a hotel in town due to a works event. In the residents bar at night, I got chatting to a guy who was also there on work. We hit it off and got on like a house on fire. Around 4am he said he had to get some sleep as had to be up early. I said bye to him but he said he would see me at breakfast and maybe we could swap phone numbers then and keep in touch. I ended up sleeping straight through breakfast and therefore never saw him again.

Now I know his full name, and I've found him on social media (yes I googled him!). Would it be really stalkerish of me to send him a quick message? Just to say something like oh thanks for keeping us company, let me know if you're ever in this part of the country again?

Or do I just leave it and forget about him? I mean he was just a guy. And he actually lives in another country so I don't think anything would ever really happen but I just haven't been able to stop thinking about him and how well we got on or even how attracted I was to him!

This is absolutely brilliant op. Happy valentine's day

How lovely! Happy Valentine’s Day

Oh wow, I was just reading this feeling horrified at the amount of people urging you not to take a chance. How can people live that way? I'm really happy you did-- and look what happened! Always take a chance, people!

What a lovely thread. Just goes to show it’s worth taking chances in life. Plus when your future children are older you have a funny story to tell them about how it almost didn’t happen, but MN gave you the courage to pursue it!

OMG I loved this thread and I was so invested in this in 2018!! So glad it all worked out. What a beautiful experience.

Wow, lovely update OP, was only wondering about you the other day.

paleontologist22 · 15/02/2021 02:10

Thank you for the lovely messages!

If I'm honest, we're so used to matching up our schedules in different time zones, and organising video calls etc, being in a lockdown has made it so much more easier. Less social commitments, more free time at home, more video calls, more facetimes!

It's still hard being apart, but we always knew that was the option with both our careers being important to us yet in different places.

We're hoping to have bought a place together by the end of the year.

Wow - what a fantastic story. This gives all of us hope and boy, do we need some hope right now. Good luck, OP !

I remember this thread and your updates! How lovely, so pleased for you OP. Life is too short not to take a few chances and calculated risks Smile
