Leitmotif: My Silliness viz. Men

I find myself so laughable sometimes.

Here is the email I originally composed to a guy in my law school class who I have a tiny crush on but who I recently found out is straight. He's German, of Czechoslovakian descent (that's right: both Czech and Slovak), but looks totally German; he played tennis at Cornell, did his MBA at INSEAD in Paris, and, like me, is late in coming to law school. We agreed that we should get together sometime this summer but have both been really busy, and so I decided I should shoot him an email:

I'm going to run the central park loop and would invite you, except that would be embarrassing given my slow pace and the likelihood that I will keel over and die somewhere around the 7th Ave. south turnoff.

So, since you can't come running with me, how about something stationary? I'm busy through Thursday night, but am free starting Friday whenever you are. If you're someone who likes to keep the weekend open then we can also just make plans for dinner or something Monday.

Hope this finds you well :)

I then decided that the email was totally lame, and overly-flirtatious, so this is the one I sent instead lol:

Hey Crush [OF COURSE I DIDN'T REALLY SAY THAT!],

Hope you've been well since we spoke last. I am going for a run, which means my brain has kicked into "do anything you can to NOT run right now" mode and so I decided I should catch up on emails lol

I'm pretty busy until Friday, but let me know if you want to get together this weekend or early next week. I'm pretty open as far as time/place, and since we live in the same building it shouldn't be that hard to find a place (even though stuff around Columbia kind of sucks).

Best,

Chunk
