workingitout - depends on how much you want something.. do you want it enough, to stake your life on it???
if you do, get his attention. otherwise, you run the risk of wondering your whole life. i always say, whats the worst that could happen. a NO perhaps....while it will hurt at the time, with time we get over it, and save time that would otherwise have been wasted wondering about someone who doesn care whether we exist or not.
works for me - but obviously, not everyone has my 'go for it' attitude.
best,
