After I got home last night I was thinking about calling "Hurricane guy". Then I heard them say on the news about Ike heading towards Texas so I figured I'd better act now before he's out of town for another few weeks.
Typically I would wait for a response after I email a guy, or at least wait a few days to give him an opportunity to read it. However, I justify calling last night by the fact that "Attorney guy" hasn't written or called in awhile. "Attorney guy" had called one day to try to plan a time to meet up and I got so busy that I forgot to call for 2 days. Then he was too busy. I got a couple more emails but I'm still waiting for a response.
Hence, I picked logged on to get "Hurricane guy's" phone number and left him a message. It was a great message - totally original and witty.
"Hi 'Hurricane guy'. This is [my name - I use my real name]from Match. I emailed you earlier but I decided that I should give you a call since I heard that Ike's bearing down on Texas and you would probably be heading out of town soon. Give me a call back at [insert number] and let me know if you want to meet."
The phone rang about 25 minutes later. "Hurricane guy" said that he thought that the voicemail was great and he's definitely looking forward to meeting me. We picked a place to meet, but unfortunately the day depends on the weather. Apparently he will find out by today if he has to head down to Texas to do more hurricane relief work with the military. So let's hope that Ike finds some cold water and dissipates since I want to meet this guy.
