The Art of Approaching

(Rick Simeone) #1

“That sounds like fun, but I can’t promise anything,” she said.


“That’s cool. Why don’t you give me your information so we can stay in touch?” I said,
handing her my notebook and pen. “I want to get to know you now before you blow up
into a famous supermodel.”


She laughed and wrote her number down on my notebook.


“Give me your email too,” I said. “I’m a total computer geek and hate talking on the
phone.”


The next day I tried calling her to get together. I didn’t hear back from her before I left
for home.


When I got home I sent her an email about how much fun it was to meet her, and how I
was sorry we weren’t able to get together again.


As it turns out, it was a good move getting her email address as well as her number,
because she seemed to respond very quickly to her emails. She wrote me back
apologizing for missing me, saying she had a photo shoot that day and was tied up the
entire time.


Over the course of close to twelve months, we kept exchange emails off and on. I’d keep
her up to date about what I’m up to in LA, but I also keep emailing to ask her what’s
going on in her life. Sometimes she’d respond, sometimes she wouldn’t, but I kept on
contacting her anyway.


Then, one day I get an email from her:


From: Christie <[email protected]>
To: Joe Matthews <[email protected]>
Subject: Hey sweetie

Hey j,

i just booked a photo shoot for some catalogue. we’ll be shooting
in la. i’ll be in town for three days. would you like to get
together?

chris

At this point, though I had been corresponding with her over email for some time, I had
figured I’d most likely never see Christie again.
