He sounded alright, so I accepted.
After a brief message asking me to email him instead of using the website interface, this is the conversation that ensues:
"Hey u,
Im doing good, on the train heading home trying to decide what yo do when i get home. To play ball or to golf or to run? So i see yall canadians luv ur hockey and thats one sport i never got hooked on, maybe u can teach me :)
5 hours later.....
I got hustled by some 21 year old kids, i feel like an old man. So why did you move from the uk, life is much more peaceful there and pleasant according to the arcticles i have read in the past. I was born in india came to chicago when i was five and we have settled within different parts of illinois ever since but currently reside in the west suburbs of chicago. Do you have a gchat account i think its more efficient than composing an email 5 pages long :) it feels like that typing on this phone....lets catch up tomorrow...whats good with you at the moment?
Later gator"

"Hey - My vote would be to either play ball or run. Golf is boring.
We do 'luv' our hockey - can teach 'u' anytime! ;)
I moved back from the UK for a variety of reasons. I miss it, and maybe one day I'll head back there! Life is very slow there - it can be relatively frustrating once you're used to a faster pace. And, it rains a lot (I'm not a big fan of the rain) and outdoor life in Canada is much better! :)
I don't have gchat - I have skype...you?
What's good with me at the moment? Lots! Just planning my summer adventures and the Canucks just scored an amazing goal with 15 seconds left in the game and have won game 1 of the Finals!! :) Woooohooooo!!!!!!
Have a great evening...

"hey...
Nice maybe we can start on the wii first then move to the real thing :)....I have heard of skype but never used it, i guess there is always time for a first or chat on the phone. What adventures are you planning? I'm actually a horrible planner and just go with the flow of life and most of the time hop on trips that other have planned :)...to be continued
adios amigos"

I message him to say that 'wii' would be hilarious and wish his Mavericks well in their next game against the Heat. He texts back:
"Hey u - got ur email - the last game was intense, hoping for another one tomorrow"
Having just finished watching the hockey game, I write back "Hey, sorry, was watching the Canucks win - yay! How's your weekend going?"
"I'd love to see you in your hockey gear - I bet you bring sexy back"
I try to ignore his last comment and tell him that I haven't played in years, and ask again about his weekend.
"Good - going bowling", he writes.
"Nice - bowing is always a good laugh. Are you going to bowl like Fred Flinstone?", I ask.
HIs response:
"I'm aight babe...ups and downs..."
First, what does 'ups and downs' have to do with anything? Maybe he was responding to the question about his weekend?
More importantly, who in heavens are you calling 'babe'??? We've known each other for all of 3 email exchanges and you're telling me that I'll 'bring sexy back' and calling me 'babe'?
In his words: LMAO.
Next!
