    Ugh... so my friends are telling me to not go to his office under any circumstances. They they said I should just email him and ask if he performs around town so I can go check out his music again. This is confusing.

    Just go up to him. If you two haven't really had any face to face interaction...an email might not do it any justice. Face to face is better. An email you can't put a face to.

    I decided not to go to his office. My sister reminded me that her office has a red button at the front desk for people like that. I decided to send him an email. It's probably horrible, but I'm tired of obsessing about how to word it, so I was just totally straight up:
    Please forgive this random email, but I'm just going to be direct: I saw you at karaoke Friday night and thought you were funny and talented and gorgeous. I'd really like to meet you, but I don't know how to make that happen. My friends told me you work here too, so I got your email from the directory and am just going to ask: Might I be able to persuade you to join me for coffee or something some time?

    yay! direct, honest, and bold. Very non-threatening since you asked him to coffee. Good for you! :D

    (and you gave him quite the ego boost ;) )

    updates appreciated!

    No, I didn't think of that! I can already see when people from work read, delete, forward, etc the emails I send them, but he's on a different email system so I don't think it will work with him.

    I sent it from my work email, which automatically adds my signature (full name, title, department, phone number). Hopefully that'll make me seem a little more legit. But I'd think he'd do some investigation before replying; that's what I'd do anyway. Or maybe he just won't reply, in which case I wish he didn't know my name!

    i know easier said than done but never ever get down on yourself for putting yourself out there ... i met a girl traveling and when i got home ... i sent her an email that pretty much said ... "run away with me" ... we've been together since ... granted it's a long distance relationship and it can be draining ... still, if it ended tomorrow - i wouldn't trade our time together for anything ... that is the essence of living ... you won't be able to live a life without regret but it if you can avoid it - do so ...
