The story on this guy is the following: In Fall 2007, I had a modernism class. More than a few times I would show up early to get my regular spot. When the class that was in there was let out, I saw this beautiful guy. Tall, dark, glasses and particularly nice sneakers. I immediately began showing up early for every class, just to catch a glimpse. One time the prof of the other class was staying behind discussing topics with his students. I went in, sat down, and tried to be subtly eavesdrop. The prof said "That'll be a tough one, Nantucket." I rembered his name and looked him up on facebook. A little bit crazy? A little bit stalker-y? Of course! I mean, we're talking about me, no? I'm really good at finding things... Anyway, his profile was accessible, and I proceeded to look through his pictures, friends, everything and anything that was there. He studied in some cool program and was involved in cool research for Hxgrm. He was also roommates with Tm, the guy who rented Sm and me our first place in Mtl.
Back to the story: I must say, I sort of anticipated this guy's presence at the show, but I did not anticipate his girlfriend being drawn to me, and bringing him into the realm of the real.
He was photographer at this show. A picture of Mchl landed on facebook with the subtitle 'who is he?' I dutifully tagged him, and not long after received a friend request from it's author. I sent a message to him a few days later, saying how I wanted to find his girlfriend and chat her up, etc. He responded to me today.. one month later instructing me on how to find his girl, who is 'no longer (his) romantic partner'... asking me if he'll 'see me around' and saying he'd 'be up for chat+café...'
This is all very curious.. Of course I'm reading into it too deeply. Sm said, 'send him a message with your phone number' but this doesn't appeal to me at all. I'm thinking of saying 'I heard through the grapevine there's a new espresso machine in the VA bldg. I think it merits a test run. I'll be there (day) at (time).' Then something about 'maybe i'll see you, drop by if you can, you should be there too' something to this effect.
This situation is making me somewhat nervous. I don't know if I want to meet this person for however casual an encounter it may or may not be.. It's all somewhat strange. But I know, against all my insecurities I should just go, create a situation, and not think about it too much. I feel like ruling out all other possibilities because of my 'allegiance' to a certain someone... but I know my advisors would not approve.
Let's end on a high note: it looks like chocolate... (picture from Souvlaki for the Soul).

Mchl's totally right. Get your head out of your ass and send him your number! The dude made it so easy for you, help the bespectacled brother out.
I mean, you've already stalked him. Giving him your number can only RAISE your shame-o-meter at this point.
Godspeed, my little love crusader. Godspeed.
