    I met this guy last year & we've met a few times since at social events. He lives in the country, I live in the city. We got on like a house on fire: same sense of humour, same interests, similar worldview and we both found each other's company stimulating intellectually, etc..;) He's about 10 years' older than me. We're both available. There is a mutual attraction between us but neither of us has made a move. The problem is, I really want to make contact with him but I don't have his phone number (but I do know where he lives as I've been up in his house) so I could find out. My question is, how do I contact him without looking like 1. a psycho, 2. a desperado? Should I wait till we bump into each other again? The problem is, the likelihood of that happening in the next few months is slim due to the fact that we socialise in different speheres and in different geographical locations...

    Any advice gratefully received.:confused:

    These social events, obviously are attended by friends of yours I presume?

    If so maybe have a chat with them to see if they have his number or know somebody who does?

    I would'nt recommend waltzing straight up to his door so if the above does'nt work you could always write him a letter/note or something of the like asking to keep in touch or to meet up etc

    Easy! You know where he lives already, and you've met several times and got on well. So find his number (you say that won't be a problem), and give him a ring. I'm sure he'd be delighted to hear from you and you don't have to get all serious and declare your undying love from the first moment. Just a simple hello and an invite for a drink/walk/film or whatever will probably be accepted. The worst that can happen is, he says 'no'. At least you'll know the score then anyway..

    Good luck!;)

    If a girl called over to me at my house to arange a drink/meal/cinema/what ever i would be delighted. It adds acertain personal touch to it all. It might inflate his ego too. which is never a bad thing for a man:)

    If you don't want to appear too forward, invite him for lunch. It's a big thing in the States now for women to invite men to lunch (Dinner seems to imply a lot more...). Matter of fact, there is a rapidly growing company in OC that's called, "Just Lunch," which is a match making firm for single, professional women and men.
