It's been a long time re: us seeing each other, so I am unsure re: his answer to a face-to-face meeting...and I also forgot to mention that his idiot friend told him that I asked about him (seriously, thanks). It was more like, "So have you seen ----?" Which is sort of asking about him , but I know he took it as more than that because apparently his "face lit up" and he was very interested, or so I am told. Thank you to his friend for not being helpful here.

He would probably answer his home phone because he doesn't have caller id, ha...but again I feel no need to put him on the spot. And he hates texting except for short messages like if you are late meeting someone, etc...I hate texting, period. So that's why I was thinking email. He can read it, think about it, and I at least think he would respond back with a few sentences saying "no" if that was his decision.

Thanks for your response!
