Along the same lines and as horrible as it sounds, contact him and at worse case make it a "Practice Date". If you have been out of the loop for a while, go out with the attitude of a "Practice Date" so you'll "have nothing to lose", enjoy the evening out and work out the "kinks" of getting back in the Dating scene.

If it works out and U two hit it off, that is wonderful!

If not, it makes the date with someone else easier and gives u a topic of conversation for the next interested person.

Go for it....

Ok, i see some people have resorted to personal attacks on my character instead of merely posting advice or opinions. I will take the high road. Hmmph! haha

I did not post in jest. I was being brutally honest.

Speed dating cattle call.

Hasn't contacted you in an entire week.
=
Move on.

But i see you have eMailed him anyway. So all this is moot. Good luck!

Be aggressive and put yourself out there.

Sometimes you'll be thinking in your head:
"Oh i've had such a rough week, i know it's friday but and i'm home already, it's so nice and warm, and i got my slippers on, OOooo what's on tv? Blehh,, i'll go out tomorrow instead." Wash your face, put on some nice clothes and step out the door.

Call up some friends. See what they're up to. Meet up with them even if it's for an hour. Get yourself out there. LIVE and in-person. One of these days i'm positive one of your friends will call you back on Monday morning to say something like, "Hey remember that guy last Friday? Jenny's co-worker. He was asking about you after you left... etc etc"

Re: emotional attachment
**In my best high girly voice imitation**
"He hasn't contacted me. But he marked "Yes" to me. Why is this so? My friend also got a yes but no reply. I'm curious. I know it's been a week but I'm gonna send him an eMail anyway just to say hi..."

YEESH!!! Back off. Move on.
See my previous advice on going out with friends/co-workers.

But seriously. The best of luck to ya

Late to the party, but I agree with the drop him an email (once) group.
Most mature guys would probably like being approached, I do.
My current girlfriend said "I thought you would never ask" when I asked her out, she had been interested for a while.
I asked her why she didn't ask first, and she couldn't come up with a good reason.

Take risks, reap the rewards.

So far as looks are concerned, personality counts for a lot.
I work with an absolutely stunning woman, and I wouldn't go out with her for a new Macbook Pro, she is an absolutely self centered biatch.

I could use a new MacBook Pro. What's her number?

We know a few of those. It's rare to find good-looking men/women with a great personality to match.

And there we have the key statement in this thread.

[JoeBob]

Tominator, I like you too much, and I don't even know you.
Sorry.

That's OK.

It would have made my girlfriend very angry even after if I showed her how cool the new MacBook Pro was.
