I can understand John's reaction..although i think i might scare me
alittle more than make me angry...depending on the attitude of the man
calling me..

which raises a question back to you....

How did she act towards you at the restaurant?  did she acknowledge
your presence?  I have been in restaurants where i have been attracted
to the waiter..and i made a point to get him to start talking and
joking around..even if it was crowded and busy at the time.   If it
appeared she noticed you.....it might be worth a shot to call.

But if you aren't sure...and you DO want to go out with her..John might 
have the safest way not to blow it.


Or...a final thought:  if you know she's at Uni Kansas...and you have
been this devious so far...why not try and find her on campus?
Seeing you in person would be far better than calling and taking the
chance she doesn't even remember who you are.

Enjoy the chase!

For a couple of months now, I have been communicating with someone over the 
NETWORK.  We n'talk and/or send e-mail messages to one another every day, and 
we have spent many hours talking on the phone.  There seems to be an attraction
for the other on both of our parts.  We plan to meet for the first time Labor 
Day weekend.

Does anyone have any experience with meeting someone you've met over the 
NETWORK?  How did it turn out?  What was the meeting like?

I appreciate any response.  Thanks.

Lori
