Thank you guys so much for all your advice and support!!!!!

Ok guys, what about something like this?

Dear B,

Ok! I have more info about my schedule now. Lunch sounds nice, but b/c of the rehearsal schedule so except for my day off I would only be able to get into penn station [in NYC] for about 41 minutes around lunch. Here are some of the times that would work for me:
Saturday the 7th is my day off, so I could meet any time.
Sunday the 8th or 9th dinner or something could work.

Let me know what you think! I hope you are having a great week!

take care,
TRANSFORMER

Even though he said he was free starting on the 8th, I thought I should at least say I am free on the 7th in case he is actually free on the 7th...

OD, When my friend at the festival started the whole, "so I hear you are single?" conversation it went something like this:

Friend: So I hear you are single now?
T: Yeah, this year was really crazy ...
F: So, when did all that start?
T: Hm, well, it actually started around lyricafest last year, and then I thought everything was totally fixed and better than ever before, and then it started again [the bombs] around october or something
F: Wow, that must have been hard with being long distance and everything, all of that happening over the phone
T: Yeah, the phone, and the webcam [smiling]

Other things I said were: I didn't think this before, but now I really think that there are certain kinds of growing that you can only experience when you're alone, and prob nothing else would have motivated me so much to get my S*$# together, and that I have been working really hard on myself. And then I told him that I felt uncomfortable talking about it in front of all the other people who were there (we were at dinner and there were some of B's friends/acquaintances w/in earshot but I couldn't tell if they were listening or not) but if he wanted we could talk about it more later. I think part of the reason he brought it up was because he also broke up with his partner (he is gay) I think actually like the same week I got bombed and wanted to commiserate maybe or just bond.

I think it was good b/c:
- I didn't launch into the Saga of The Bombs (" and then he did blah blah blah...")
- I didn't say who initiated the breakup
- I didn't say anything about whether or not I wanted to get back with B
- I provided no details of why, how, or how I felt

THAT is a total 180 for me from bomb time!!!!

OK please advise about the email!!!!!
