Now, What do I do with him?
So, there was a guy at University who looked slightly weird, wore slightly weird clothes and spoke slightly weird but in my naviety, I befriended him. I spoke to him casually about classes and perhaps he took it to mean that I fancy him because FOUR years since I last saw him or spoke to him, he still keeps e-mailing me, adding me on social networking sites and sending him his birthday reminders!
Everytime I leave his e-mail unanswered I feel guilty. But I think it's the fact I exist on WAYN now that has ascertained for him that I am, in fact, still alive and he has his chance of e-mailing me.
So here goes his e-mail:
hi Olivia
I hope you are well.
What are you up to these days post uni?
I have seen you on WAYN, the social networking site?
How was your christmas? Mine went well. Get any nice presents? I got plenty of nice presents.
Have a happy new year,and send me an email soon.
Happy 2008.
Daniel
ex-<my uni>(I remember you from class in the 2002/03 academic year)
I want to reply, I want to tell him that please stop testing my patience by sending me these stupid e-mails. Earlier in the year, he had e-mailed me to say that he had become a porter at some hospital - and I wanted to reply back with no thanks for this information and wondered if I should tell him about my married life and three children alongwith 2 dogs.
But I chose to ignore in case, he goes mental at the new of my happily married life *cough*.
So this time I have chosen to reply with this:
Hi Daniel
Happy New Year to you as well and thanks for the greetings. I am fine, thanks currently working for <my company> in their <my porject> (Telecoms).
I don't usually use any social networking sites as I find them a complete waste of time.
I hope you are ok.
Olivia
What do you think? Will it work? Does it tell him that I dont want to hear from him ever again! Or will this be better?
We regret to inform you that Olivia died 2 years ago and we only just discovered this facebook account.
Sincerely,
Facebook/WAYN Admin
