A Night under the Stars
This is based on a true story. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. The emails have mostly been kept the same so we can laugh at them.

Hello Alyssa,
How are you doing? It was great meeting you this weekend at Ann’s party! You sure get red with alcohol… lucky for me I don’t! Maybe you shouldn’t drink so much. How is your new job? What are you doing next weekend… want to get some dinner? Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks,
jim leung

Hi Jim, I’m sorry I haven’t had time to reply sooner. My new job has been really hectic. Unfortunately, I have plans this weekend. I have to paint my house and that will probably take all weekend.

Hello Alyssa,
That is okay. I totally understand… my job has been very hectic too. My new coworker that I told you about is still annoying me but I think I can handle it. He just seems to talk on and on so much. Says so many dumb things too. I wish he would shut up. Do you need some help painting your house? I am free this weekend and can help. You can treat me out to dinner afterwards too!
Thanks,
jim leung

Hello Alyssa,
You must be a busy girl. I know how that feels too… I have also been running around like crazy. Work for me is so hectic too! I had to write two reports last week and two more this week. Seems like as soon as I finish one, another one comes. Where does the time go? We are both very busy people. How was your house painting? Do you have time this weekend for dinner?
Thanks,
jim leung

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get your email until now. My weekends have been just about as hectic as this new job. I have some friends visiting me next weekend and they’ll be here for a few weeks.

Hello Alyssa,
Since you are so busy, you must not have any time to eat. I can bring you some dinner… what is your favorite food? I like Japanese food. Do you like Japanese food? Do you like sushi? I’ll bet you like sushi.
Thanks,

Jim Leung has sent you an Evite:
A Night Under the Stars….
Since you have been so busy, you should take a break. Come have sushi with me in the city. It will be a romantic dinner for just the two of us. Please reply soon.

Hello Alyssa,
How are you doing? I wanted to let you know that A Night Under the Stars…. has been canceled. Recently a friendship of mine has blossomed into something more. Thanks to you, actually. It was through discussions about you that ultimately led the two of us to hang out more and then develop feelings for each other. Sorry to cancel… but I’m a “one girl kind of guy”. Thanks for your understanding. See you around!
Thanks,
jim leung

Hey Mike, ohmigod, is this guy for real? Read his last email. Did he just dump me? We haven’t even gone out! This is like an episode out of Sex and The City. I ignored this guy for like a month and he still can’t take a hint. Why in the world do I attract all the wackos?
Have you ever been dumped by email, before you even had a relationship?
