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?
Hmmm, sounds promising. I’d just go with how you feel. Just because you meet him doesn’t mean you have to do anything else, unless you want to. :D
