So today I was on the bus and looked out the window - this gorgeous guy on the sidewalk was smiling at me. I turned my head and he was stillll smiling at me!
Later on I was walking down the street and heard this " hey, how's it going?" I looked up and it was him! He said " do you have a minute for me, now that you're off the bus?"
It turns out he was campaigning for starving children but our conversation quickly turned into " what are you up to? do you live around here? etc"
He got my number for his project (how could I saw no?) and I went on my way.
When I got home I looked him up on myspace (he was wearing a name tag) out of curiosity and found him.
He is single, my age and as it turns out my best match on the zodiac...haha.
Creepy to msg him?
I can't help but think that there was a reason I looked out the window right when he was looking at me and found my ay back to him an hour later (I was on a route I had never been on before on my way to a interview that ended up being a waste of time...other than the fact that I met him)
Wait to see if he calls first?

I agree. I don't see the harm in messaging him to say hello. Anything more might be a little much but hello? Nahhh.

Don't laugh, I was actually thinking of you yesterday. I was perusing around myspace through a link that a friend had emailed me. It was about an arts and crafts fair in East Nashville this weekend. Anyway, this arts and crafts group has a myspace page. It was really cool. People of like minds, exchanging art and ideas, all different kinds of mediums, even handmade jewelry.

I would go to the fair but promised my niece I'd take her biking. Anyway, I started to email you to encourage you to look around on myspace and see if your area has anything like this . . . there were all sorts of little "communities" on there. Didn't mean to hijack the thread! One more thing, and I'm sure you are aware, you can make your profile private. Nobody can view it except people you invite to be your friends.

* I don't know how artsy you are but I thought you'd mentioned it before.

My next youngest sister keeps her profile private, and it drives my mom nuts that she won't add her as a friend.

hi everyone....

thanx for the input - i had no idea this topic would get so many replies.

basically the reason i didnt want to wait for him to msg me first is because...i didnt give him my number as a "hey call me sometime" thing. it was to get info on his protest and it probably wouldnt even be him calling me - just someone from his co. and i figured he'd probably think it was creepy of HIM to call me for personal reasons.

anyway i don't know why people are talking about craft fairs and private myspace debates haha but thanx for the replies...he's out of my system now.

i kind of work that way when too much thinking goes into something.

I would wait to see if he contacts you, he may be a little put off that you went looking for him on myspace...

>>A simple message that says something like, "Hey I met you today and then came across your myspace, what a coincident!

This seems completely transparent to me...there's no way she could just come across his profile unless she spent hours online browsing random people's profiles...also not the best trait.

I say if he gave you a card or ANYTHING with his name on it, then fine. If you simply memorized it off his tag (not abnormal, especially if you like him, don't get me wrong), I still think it'd look a little creepy and overeager. That's just me. Though I suppose if he doesn't call, you really have nothing to lose since you'll probably never see him again if you don't...

Still not understanding why if she were a total stranger, it would be ok for her to contact the guy on myspace (more than ok, *encouraged*--that's the whole point of having a public profile on myspace, isn't it?), but it's not ok since she's actually met him in person. That makes absolutely no sense to me.

I'm just tossing this out for debate, even though I realize that this isn't quite the place for it: What if he were flattered by the fact that it took some work for her to locate him on myspace?
