Would sending him an email be untoward?

In My Humble Opinion
1

When I went for Midnight Mass (more about this later), I met a very fascinating person. I wanted to get some contact information, but he was in a hurry and people were shooing us out the church (they didn’t want us chit-chatting in the church), and I lost him by the time I got outside. Using what little information he gave me about himself, I’ve been able to track down his email address. I would like to keep in touch with him for a variety of reasons (he’s half the same ethnicity as mine, secretly a Christian like me, our names are quite similar, among other reasons).

Now, how weird or inappropriate or stalkerish or untoward would it be if I sent him an email? Or should I just forget it and let it drop?

WRS/Thû - All hail the fantabulous technology of the Internet!

A single email setting out what you just posted would be fine.

Personally, I see no harm in it. As long as it’s just one email, and you explain to him how you found hte email address (presumably through public means), I don’t see why he should be upset about it.

Speaking as a male, if you politely seek me out, as noted above, I would be flattered by it, even were I not interested in a friendship or relationship.

However, if I “brush you off,” and you keep emailing me. . . .

Thanks, y’all! Your input is greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

I’ll write him an email, explaining what I explained above, and then leave the ball in his court.

Good luck. At the very least I hope you make a friend. Perhaps I should turn Catholic–are there any “hot” Priestesses?

:smiley:

You guys are going to blow your cover going to Midnight Masses.

^^^I wondered about that, too. What’s up with this? Was the Mass held in the Catacombs?

Why would you secretly be a Christian to begin with?

10

Are you kidding? Think of all the gossip and talk; not to mention the loss of discipline in the ranks. Orcs are not fond of Christians.

11

What kind of an email are we talking about, and is he aware you’re a fellow (if I have that part correctly to begin with)?

12

Perhaps it was a Satanic Midnight Mass?

I hear tell Satanic Masses are a great place to get laid. Like an AA meeting. Just pretend you’re an alcoholic and you’re in like Flint.

Hehehehe.

Well, he sneaked out to make it to Midnight Mass. Maybe his father thinks he’s out partying or something. My folks are out of the country, so they have no idea what religious naughty things I have been up to. (I am such a rebel - I’m going to Church on Sundays!) His father is Muslim who has no idea his son is a Catholic. My parents believe I have dropped all Christian activities and affiliations.

So, yeah, in a way secretly Christian - in that we don’t tell our family.
