Conversation Partner: Meeting #5

Wednesday May 2, 2012
Paul via e-mail:
Hey, Mohanad. 
It's Paul. I know it's been a while since we have met and talked, but if you would like to meet again any time soon, I would love to talk to you. 
Thanks,
Paul Elliott




I wait two days, but I don't get a response. I've had better success trying to reach Mohanad via text message in the past, so I try that instead.

Friday May 4, 2012
Paul: Hi Mohanad. Would you like to meet and talk again before school is over?




Still nothing, but I was really happy to get a text from him after two more days.

Sunday May 6, 2012
Mohanad: How are you doing? Could we meet on Tuesday instead of today? Because I have a homework tomorrow
Paul: Tuesday is good. When would you like to meet?




I don't get an answer Sunday night, but he gets back to me the next night.

Monday May 7, 2012
Mohanad: Letd
Paul: I do not understand
Mohanad: Let's meet at the bluu I mean by the 1973 restaurant
Mohanad: Is that ok?
Paul: Yes that is great. What time?
Mohanad: Is 7pm ok?
Paul: Yes. I will see you tomorrow at 7pm!
Mohanad: can i bring my friend with me? He goes to business school
Paul: Yes that would be great
Mohanad: Ok I will see u tomorrow




7:00 PM Tuesday comes around and I send Mohanad these text messages from 1873.

Tuesday May 8, 2012
Paul: Hey Mohanad. Do you still want to meet at 1873 in 15 minutes? I will walk over there soon
Paul: Hi Mohanad. I'm waiting by 1873 in the same place we have met before. I will be here until 7:30. Are you running late?
Paul: Hey Mohanad. I guess you were busy at 7pm. If you would like to meet ANY time, just send me a message.
Paul via e-mail:
Hey Mohanad,
Obviously we did not meet today at 7pm as planned. I guess you were busy, but I completely understand. If you would like to meet ANY time, just send me a message.
Thanks,
Paul Elliott

TL;DR
5/8 - I was stood up.
