Meetup
I’ve just joined Meetup.com, in order to go out and speak Italian with Italian people before going away this summer. One chap posted a "hello" to my profile, told me his email address and proceeded to pretty much ask me out over Meetup.com. I don’t know whether to be flattered or offended! Not that I’m particularly looking for a relationship at the moment, after everything that has happened recently, but I enjoy meeting new people and I enjoy dating.
I can see why he asked me: we subscribed to the same meetup, I put up a nice photo and said I was a classical singer, and he is a student of orchestral composition. He offered me to write him an email, I just posted on his profile and said "maybe I’ll see you at a meetup" and he suggested we go and hear a concert together. In a way it’s cool and in a way it reminds me that meeting men over the internet can be such a cop-out. I want everything - the modernity of actively meeting men with similar interests, but also the old-fashioned meeting of eyes across a room, and being romanced.
But he doesn’t seem like a creep.
Oh, he’s gorgeous, by the way. So I will probably acquiesce eventually. What would you do?
