dmoore Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 OK, this is probably not that big a deal but I'm going to ask anyway. I met a girl at a bar recently & although she gave me her #, I didn't save it correctly in my cell. I happenend to know where she worked, so I called up her work to get her email. How do I email her and not sound like a complete stalker? Link to post Share on other sites
cdn Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Just tell her what you wrote here. I think she'd be flattered. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 At this point in time, it doesn't make a lot of difference what she thinks because you may never see her again unless you email her. Send her email and explain to her exactly what happened and that the only way you could figure out how to get ahold of her was through her work email. She'll either be very flattered that you went through all the trouble or she won't reply. But no matter what she does, it's more than if you never approach her. I suggest you take a some small blank cards and a pen as you travel the bars...and write accurately. Link to post Share on other sites
sarah12 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Is there anyway to get her # again from her work place? I think that would be a better way to contact her than through her e-mail address. A guy once got my e-mail address when he really shouldn't have, and that really freaked me out. I didn't write him back. But your case is different since the girl wanted you to call. I don't know..can you stop by her work to see her maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
jmargel Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I agree with sara, just go back to the bar & talk to her some more & tell her you goofed up the number. Knowing you called her work & got her email from someone else wouldn't be a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites
cdn Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Knowing you called her work & got her email from someone else wouldn't be a good idea. Just curious: why on earth not? If the receptionist at work knows her email and gives it freely, then it seems to me that it's public information, i.e., he hasn't had to do any real sleuthing to get this info. I'd assume that this is her work email and not her private one. A brief note explaining he's lost her # and asking her to call him seems pretty innocent to me. On the other hand, coming out of the office and finding him standing there would be far spookier, unless I was really smitten. Given the number of posts here on LS to the tune of "we met, hit it off, he asked for my number but never called, why not" I would think that making contact -- casually, briefly -- can only be welcomed (or ignored, in the worst case). Good luck with whatever you decide! Link to post Share on other sites
sarah12 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 It depends on where she works. I was thinking that maybe she worked at a retail store where someone could drop by. If it's an office though, then no, I would not suggest dropping by the office! In either case, it's probably best to wait till you see her at the bar again. Try going to the same bar at teh same time you went last time and explain to her then that you entered her number incorrectly. Personally, I wouldn't do the e-mail thing! Like I said, I went through it and it freaked me out that the guy went through my personal info to get it. Sure, he had no other way to get my contact info, but he could have left it to chance.

moimeme Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Or he could call the receptionist back and ask her to give the girl a message saying that he lost the original phone number and could she please email him or call him back. Link to post Share on other sites
