Megan;

I'm planning on relocating to Cincinnati in about three weeks. I currently work as an XXXX (same field as Megan).

I was wondering if you would care to show me around town? I'll be staying in <insert city here>, but am not familiar with the night-life or the locals.. I know that this might be a bit early, but there will be at least one function if you would like to go and are available?.. (on May 18th, I should be moved in by then.)


Thank you!

Mike

---------------------------------------

Sure, I work in <xxxx> so I know the area really well. Just out of curiosity, how did Xxxx refer me? I'm guessing through myspace.. :) My boss is a big fan of Xxxx and she is a Xxxxx, I'll definitely introduce y'all for networking. :)

~Megan

----------------------------------------

Megan;

Great! It's a date :) My first, and I'm not even there yet! I'll e-mail you a bit closer to the 18th. Actually it was from someone that works as Xxxx's secretary - Xxxx.

Who do you work for? Could I get your number?

Thanks!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

I found this on my computer - conversation between the girlfriend and a random guy.

The "Xxxx" is throwing me off. What do they blank out. She seems to think you aren't creepy and am telling the truth!

Xxxx is removing pertinent information (names, job titles, places)


I'm saying in general - if you read this, what is your opinion. (guys intentions, girls intentions, etc)

Yah, pardon the poor grammar in my previous post. I think that she won't mind showing you around, but I think she wants to be friends at first. Keep in mind that you contacted her via the internet and while I'm sure it happens to her occasionally, she is probably goingto reserve judgement on whether you are dateable until she meets you in person.

so the guy emails this girl he doesn't know out of the blue and asks her to show him around and go with him to some function?

kind of odd, imo, but she seesm to be ok with it.

If the first contact Megan ever had with Mike is the first message in the OP, then my impression is that the guy is pretty pushy.

"Hi, I'm moving to your town! I need a date! Give me your number!"

But that could be just my impression.

Exactly, dude, let her show you around. You never know who you will meet at the bar or a club or through her. But it's pretty clear that she is off limits.

So Mike is asking your Girlfriend to show him around the town/go on a date because they are in the same industry and she agreed?

I'd be wanting to go on that date myself. Are they going to be working at the same company? what kind of industry is this?

No they won't be at the same company. I can't say what industry, as it could give away who 'mike' and 'megan' are.

I disagree that its 100% clear she's off limits, but I would agree with that being most likely ... make sure you don't go into the "date" with any expectations.


Edit: Just read the rest of the posts ... I didn't realize Megan was the OP's GF! :eek: :Q

IME most girls will at least drop a pretty obvious hint that they arn't available before agreeing to somthing like this IF they really arn't interested ... if I were the Op I'd certainly be concerned!

Our mail server was rejecting aol mail, I logged onto her account to send a msg to myself.


That being said, part of it was snooping, past that point. However, I know that she regularly checks my facebook/email/myspace.. even so far as to (early in the relationship) putting a keylogger on her computer to get my passwords.


Not that it bothers me, I have nothing to hide.
