As a creative person I am curious what type of designer you are.
We should try to get drinks someday.
It would be nice if one day we could maybe cook dinner while watching a great foreign film.
I have a lot of outdoor spare and cook outside often. A Korean BBQ over would is not outside my range of skills alothough I think the wine might benefit from something western.
Cooking for me is a kind of creative yet pastoral activity. Eating is more
like being cow in a pasture contented but neither active nor enlightened.
Really cooking is not enlightening but it makes me feel connected to
tradition.
Oh an I have a penthouse in a hotel where there is a tradition of creative
people living.

I would really like to talk to you more. Although there are intellectual aspects to what I do the commercial part is really high margin, high price, low volume sales. I have a strong interest in mass market luxury as it
interacts with taste.
Fashion is a common expression of this interaction but it is a bad business.
I had considered backing a jewelry line but I never considered watches as a
creative endeavor due to the technical issues. If you call I promise to be
charming. My cell number is XXXXXXXXX. What is yours?

I actually wrote a intelligent email about design and the integration of form and function as well as the "New Luxury" and then I closed it without sending or saving it.
Well suffice it to say I find these topics interesting and would enjoy
talking with you.
*** So I now try to close this by saying:
Sorry I haven't written, I just don't really know how to respond to your emails. They are just so formal and business-like. Anyhoo.. I just wanted to be honest and let you know that don't think we would be compatible, but good luck with your search. I am sure you will find someone that is more your match.

Actually, I am a lot of fun but I have a business like interest in the very area you specialize in. I know a lot about clothing construction but that area would not have elicited a business like inquiry because . . . well it is just a bad business . . . jewelry I know less about but still quite a bit. . Watch design is interesting to me in the same way that architecture is In the end my personality is mix of being intensely creative and bohemian but also a lawyer can be a little disconcerting . . .
I think we might have found each other interesting in an unromantic way which is why I wrote what I did. I will always be on the look out for interesting company even after I have found that “match” and learning about how a creative field works is well worth a few drinks to me.
Unlike most of these types of things I thought even without any chemistry talking with you would be stimulating and not a waste of time.

i'm convinced that you truly were talking to a computer...there was absolutely NOTHING personal about those emails between the two of you. so cold. so bland. so lame. -cew
Those were the funniest nerve emails I've ever read. I think he was trying to have a business transaction with you. I also think English is not his first language. Or even second.
