Name: Amber | Location: New York City |Question:  Is it a good sign or a bad sign when a man gives  you his e-mail address instead of his phone number? I met a man at a museum event recently that I liked. We spoke for some time then he went off to talk to other people. Before I left for the night I approached him and told him it was nice to meet him. Then I asked him for a business card. He said he didn’t have one on him so I pulled out my phone. He gave me his e-mail address and I gave him mine. Good or bad sign? |Age: 31I’m going to say move on. First, if he was really interested in you he’d have found a way to find you again to make sure he got your number. The fact that you asked him for a card and he said he didn’t have one is also a not so great sign. Most people have a card on them. If they don’t, and they want to keep in touch, they’re giving more than their e-mail address. In cases where I’ve been asked for my number and I wasn’t interested I lied and said I didn’t have any cards but then gave my e-mail address. E-mail is for chatting. Not really getting to know someone one. Granted, you could chat for a few weeks and the interest could build. That’s always an option, too. So, I’ll amend my original comment and say that he might not be interested..yet. But…you’ve already made it clear that you’re interested. If you contact him at all, make it a simple "great to meet you. Please let me know if you hear of other events like that" or something simple. DO NOT ASK HIM TO GET TOGETHER. Let him do that.YOUR THOUGHTS?
