To Pursue or Not to Pursue?!

i recently came back from a 2 week vacation with my parents and met a single guy in my tour group that's probably in his mid - late 30s (i'm in my late 20's) with his parents...so i believe there's about a 10 year age difference. the both of us, being the youngest out of 50 people, clicked. I noticed him looking at me several times, but didn't think he would be into someone that young (i even look like i'm 10 years younger than i really am)...until he said he'd take a picture of me and my parents together...

...before i was able to hand him my OWN camera, he said "i'll use mine and just e-mail you the pictures"....so i'm like "okay". of course (at that moment), i was thinking he likes me and liked him too - he's smart, mature, educated, takes care of his parents. we exchanged business cards before our last day...i even put my personal e-mail address and phone number on the card. well, he stayed with his parents a week longer in the last city and my parents and i flew back home. i didn't even get a chance to say "goodbye" because my parents and i were late to catch the shuttle and the airport was packed with people.

so about a week has gone by and i haven't received any of those "pictures" he took of me and my family in his own camera. it seems like a vacation "fling" even though we didn't do anything because our parents were there the whole time - just talking and having fun. also, the huge age difference is something i never ventured into before. so i'm just wondering if I should even pursue this guy or not. he lives about an hour away from me so he's not too far from where i live. i was thinking of e-mailing him my pics from the vacation to him...to get the ball rolling?

Oh my gosh go for it! Email him now. You know how crazy things get when you're getting back from vacation so he may have just lost track of time or been really busy. Just send a few pics with a little note and ask him to send you any really good ones he took! His response will probably clue you into some direction...

You guys may just start emailing back and forth casually at which point you can suggest you meet up for dinner and 'reminisce about the beach' or something

OR

He'll extend an invitation to hang out in his response

OR

You won't get a response and then you know.

I hope you get the response you want! Let us know!
