An OMG moment

 
Normally I like to wait a few more days in between gratitude posts, but I'm gonna go ahead and post about this one. Since it's big.

Saturday I am driving to a friend's party. I'm using my GPS, and as I drive, I see notifications pop up that the actor I like (Sachin!) is messaging me on Cameo. I get like 5 or 6 notifications in a row. I can't figure out if the app is just giving me multiple notifications for 1 message or if he's messaging me many times. I think on it a bit and decide to pull over so I can read them.

He doesn't message me much on Cameo; just a little. Sometimes I order a Cameo from him, ask him a question, he answers it in the Cameo vid itself and tells me to put my answer (to questions like "What is your favorite place on earth?") in the Cameo messaging. But usually he doesn't; basically it's not like we regularly message back and forth on there. 

So I pull over and read his messages to me. The first have to do with a convention that was cancelled and such. He thanked me for never asking him for the details. He also thanked me for my congrats on his new role, and he wished me happy birthday. And then he dropped a bomb. He wrote, "If you're ever Vancouver, don't hesitate to tell me for sure! Would love to grab dinner with y'all!" 

Needless to say, I was delighted and floored. I didn't reply right away; wanted to think about it. Eventually I replied, first with just a bit about the other items. And then said something like, "So I have a ton of vacation days banked and a ton of frequent flyer miles, so I can be in Vancouver whenever you want! Would love to do coffee or lunch or dinner."

Based on my last experience with him (the time when he asked if I wanted to do a 1:1 Zoom call), I knew that he wouldn't reply right away. It's been 3 days so far. Last time, he reached out to me on a Saturday and got back to me on a Thursday, so I expect nothing quicker this time. :)

Just trying to decide my next move. Perhaps there is no next move and I just wait for him, since the ball is in his court. The only other idea I have is this one: he loooves wrestling and goes to wrestling shows. I could ask him when next he's going to one and offer to do coffee or whatever before or after the show. 

If I do that, I won't do it any earlier than Thursday. I need to give him time to reply to my message from Saturday. So I really don't know what to do. Will keep thinking on it. But in any case WOW HOW AWESOME IS THIS???
