Now let me tell you about 16 years ago I really liked this guy and I took my chances and wrote him a note. I wrote my phone number and said that I'd like him to call me. He did and we attempted to date. But we weren't clicking as a couple so it never went anywhere ( I kind of liked him more than he liked me and he was way younger than me) but we remained friends. We talk every now and then and sometimes do favors for each other (he is a physician so I might have medical questions etc etc ) or sometimes we just check up on each other or support each other through hardships. It's been 16?years!
So you never know! If I didn't take my risk then we would never know each other as friends.
I am not saying ask
Him out but give him
Hints!

Hey, thanks for the kind words. That means a lot!
I did email him re: his album. I may as well elaborate...his mother suffered from severe mental illness and committed suicide a little over 3 years ago. I grew up with a mentally ill mother as well (mine is alive, but I haven't spoken to her since I was 15 and don't know exactly where she is). The songs were open, sometimes raw and some hit me right at the core because it was like, "Oh my God...YES. You
get it. You've articulated
exactly what it was like to grow up with an unstable parent." So I read the lyrics and couldn't listen to the music at first because...I wouldn't say it was triggering...but it brought a lot of feelings to the surface. And I basically told him what it meant to me, and how I identified with it. And he replied right away, thanked me for emailing, said it meant a lot, etc etc (I think as an artist, whether it be music or otherwise, you always want to know that your art touches someone in some way.)
Anyway, because we'd said all there was on that subject and don't know each other too well, I just left it at that and figured we'd talk more when I see him face to face. I have an appointment in 3 weeks. I mean, I get my hair cut every 8-10 weeks...it has also occurred to me that maybe he is just really good at his job of getting people to come back to sit in his chair and spend $$. He's really good at his craft (and as someone with crazy curly hair, I don't say that lightly) and he's
not cheap, guys.
So basically he's got me coming back and spending the $$ at this point.
