Frances, and sadeyes, and John, and the rest:

I agree that the note needs to be very casual and breif. And, Frances, I really liked your rendition. I think it was perfect.

Men have, throughout history, have had the burden placed upon them to make the 1st move. Isn't it wonderful that it's the 21st Century, and it's perfectly acceptable that us "nice girls" can now make the 1st move?

As to motivation: Sadeyes, what's in your heart? I again agree with Francess: Are you excited because he seemed to search you out? And he could have been an Alien from Mars, but he gave you attention? I think, reading your notes, that he's much better than that. If your motivation is that you are attracted to him, and you would like to see if there could be something started, then yes, jump on it!

I'm excited for you, Sadeyes! This could be the start of a new and wonderful romance. And, who knows, this might be the thing that motivates him to buy a computer, just to e-mail and IM you :-) Good luck, and keep us posted!!

Love and Blessings,
Kayanna
