That's kind. I thought you might have been reading Judy Blume.

Hey there. How have you been over the last week? I was in Portland (ME) over the weekend, and my mother is currently visiting. She hadn’t seen my new condo so wanted to come see it and visit for fun.

P.S. Do you have Yahoo or AOL or MSN instant messenger?

Not on AIM, sorry. It's been a good week.

What was in Portland?

I just went to Portland for fun. Too bad you’re not on any sort of instant messenger. I guess that means we can’t get to know each other. Bumma! ;)

A, my big question is whether this is a flirting technique or this is a deal breaker. I'm tempted to ask him.
