i am a semi regular poster that needs advice. i am posting anonymously because my situation is a little funny. i am a member of match.com but my profile is hidden. i have a profile so i can look at other peoples but usually do not see anyone i would like to date. i just saw a profile of a guy that goes to my school and that i had a class with. we have never actually talked because we have different friends and never sat near each other but we are aware of each other. my school is pretty big and i do not think we have any common friends or organizations. i really do not know much about him but he is cute and seems smart and nice. would it be weird to send him a message? what would it say? remember me- you want to go out? or just wanted to say hey? i am just worried that if i send him a message, i will never hear from him and it will be weird when we see each other next at school. but i would also like to know if he would be interested in hanging out. please advise. thanks.
I think you should contact him. Just send him a message and say that you were searching around for anyone you might know from your school. You found his profile and recognized him as a classmate. As in, you have seen him around campus, etc.. Act casual and cool and exchange a few emails.. then after you know him a little better, ask him to go out for a drink!
I say go for it. You said it yourself, you don't have any common friends or organizations, so if it doesn't go the way you hope, you don't have to be bothered by interacting with him. Keep us updated!
hijack: In college one of my profs was a hottie Brit with the last name of Moxie. Yes, we called him Foxy Moxie. One day during class he sang "Every Sperm is Special" from Montey Python apropos of nothing. A hottie with brains and a wacky sense of humor. le sigh /hijack
