Smushed Andy wrote to me last night. He sent a very thoughtful email, he had clearly asked Peggy Sue about me and crafted a tailored message geared to my interests. It was a great email, really. He seems like a smart guy. It reminded me of the first message you would send to someone you were trying to court in a long distance relationship.
I'm skeptical of small talk over email before meeting someone in person. I'm not sure if it's from my attempts at online dating from years back or something else, but I like just going out with someone
and getting to know them in person. I'm not sure if that makes me old school, jaded or simply impatient. Probably all of the three. It sounds horrible, but I don't want to waste time emailing someone who isn't interested when he meets me in person and one of two things happen: 1) we have exhausted all small talk online and have nothing to say; or 2) I spend the time trying to remember what he wrote in his emails so I don't ask something that has already been covered.
Holy garbage, I am such a negative Nancy. A nice guy sent me a nice email. I'm just going to write back.
