    Hi Sammy,

    Hope you had an eventful weekend.

    Are you free to grab dinner this week?

    Cheers,

    Hi XXXXX!

    Good to hear from you. I saw your text on Saturday, but I actually lost my phone that night … I’m currently phoneless but actually really, really enjoying it and hoping to hold off for a few more days of peace and quiet …

    I think it’s best I tell you that I’m actually still seeing someone from college, so I’m going to have to thank you for the offer but (hopefully politely) turn it down.

    Would love to catch up with others for drinks, etc. any time, however. Good luck with everything at work and with the new apartment — congrats again!

    Take care,
    -Sammy

    Hi Sammy,

    Dinner plans with me was not a 1 on 1 get together.  I’m also seeing someone -  trying to coordinate an evening of dinner and fun along with some friends.  Thought you would be good company.


    You are a very attractive person, and you’ll definitely fit into the mix of people that I hang with.

    My apologies for the miscomm..

    XXXXX
