But seriously, I have some questions. I got a forceful suggestion that I e-mail someone, from her aunt. Practically a command. I've seen this girl twice in the last four years, and maybe spoken ten words to her. The aunt wasn't offering any help, she just said, 'I'll get you her e-mail, you o the rest.
Was there any relationship prior to four years ago?
IOW, the following two situations would be different:
(1) I had been dating what's-her-name for some number of months/years, then about 4 years ago I moved away/she moved away/we broke up, and I've seen this girl twice in the last four years, and maybe spoken ten words to her.
(2) About 4 years ago I ran into <aunt> walking down the sidewalk, and she introduced me to <niece> who was with her. I've seen this girl twice in the last four years, and maybe spoken ten words to her.
First of all: how in the world could you write a good e-mail? "Oh your aunt said you were lonely and your life pitiful, she thought us hooking up would be good for both of us!"
Let's say I do come up with an okay e-mail, would any of you ladies react favorably receiving a cold-call message?
Obviously the answers to these questions depend strongly on which scenario above best describes the history of the "relationship". (IOW, is there even a "relationship" or a "history"?)
(The guys don't have to answer, I know that response)
Obviously a lot I'm leaving out. She lives far away. I'd rather do an e-mail then phone her, if I cannot take her out in person.
Is there any reason why you might like to take her out in person? (Other than that both of you are apparently available.)
I mostly can't believe I'm even thinking about this.
The commercial sez men think about women something like every 5.8 seconds. (I wonder what they are supposed to think about the rest of the time?)
