writes:I am turning thirty this year and I think I am becoming a tad desperate. My friends and relatives are getting married left, right and centre, and here I am without so much as a boyfriend.1) When I went home for Christmas last year I met this guy on the plane, we had an amazing time travelling, I think he also enjoyed the time we spent together, but after we arrived we didnt stay in touch. I've checked him out online, is it appropriate for me to email him out of the blue?2) There is this guy I've known for the last seven/eight years, we work for the same company but in different branches. We were never friendly, just hi-bye types. Last Sunday my cousins and I went to their place (he has a roommate) for dinner and we really hit it off. But again it ends there. No calls, no emails, nothing. Do I call him with some stupid excuse or wait in the wings forever?One thing you should know is, I am quite introverted and not too comfortable around guys. I really want to get to know the guy I met on the plane, but it's been half a year now. If I do decide to contact him online what would I say? And remember he never contacted me.

After saying 'hello', a simple "Remember me - how are you doing?" would be a good way to open up the conversation. It would be perfectly obvious to any man who received a communication like this that you were trying to do more than just say 'hello' and if he wanted to take things further he would be enthusiastic and pleased to hear from you.
Go for it - get out there and have some fun!
