Bella99 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I was at a mixer- a networking type of event, for grads of my university in my city. It was a pretty crowded event so there were a lot of people there. I decided to get a soda and this guy started talking to me at the bar at the mixer. We ended up talking for 1/2 hour. He is an author. I asked for his card because I had to leave, however I didnt have a card, he gave me his and told me we should get coffee and discuss writing. I knew that I would be leaving our city for the rest of the summer in a couple of days, so I emailed him immediately and told him it was nice meeting him and we should stay in touch. He said it was great meeting me and asked to read some of my work. I sent him some and he wrote back and suggested coffee. I told him I was leaving in a couple of days but I would love to meet before then. We met at a cafe. When I arrived he stood up and gave me a hug. We sat down and he told me he liked my necklace. W did chat about his books but he also spoke about himself and asked about me as well. It lasted about an hour. He paid for my coffee. When we were leaving he told me to keep in touch and to let him know about any of my work. (Altho, earlier he told me he had not yet read the work I had emailed him) He gave me a hug and said "I am a hugger. I come from a hugging family." I thought he was really nice. He is in his early 30's and I am in my mid 20's, so he is a little older. I left and I am quite far away for the summer but I texted him a few days later and told him thanks for coffee and it was nice talking to him. But he has not replied. So, does this mean I messed up the coffee date? Was he just networking? Did I do something wrong? I am not sure what to think. Any help would be appreciated.
D-Lish Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Maybe he's just being logical about not wanting to start something with someone that is going to be going far away for a few months. However, anyone truly interested probably wouldn't let a few months stop them. If I met someone I really liked and found out he was moving, but coming back- I'd keep in regular touch- wouldn't you?
Rando Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 It may be that he's extremely good at playing hard to get? I dint know if it's just me but I don't waste time on people who don't return messages or play games
Lucky_One Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Sometimes texts don't go through. No matter, though; he knows your number and your email address, and he can contact you in the future if he wants to. I don't see much about how you could have "messed up" your coffee date. But he just might not be as into you as you are into him. No harm, no foul.
