so there is this woman who has stopped in where I work to shop on occasions. every time she has stopped in she has talked about modeling with me and how I should look into it. I felt an atrraction from the first time. the third of fourth time I saw her was just the other day and we got to talking and she asked me if I had looked into it yet and I told her no. and she proceeded to put her phone up to my ear so that I could hear what a modeling agent had said to her in a voice message.. (bear in mind this was an awkward situation) after that we chatted a little bit more very breifly and she gave me her business card. I emailed her a day or two later and thanked her for her kind words and just told her a few more things about what we were talking about such as future career interests. notice Im not at all trying to talk about careers or modeling. she sent me a email back and I have my opinion of what I should do but I would really like some female reinforcement.

here is the message she sent me:

Hi (my name),

You're very welcome!!

Don't think too much, you still so young, anything can happen and things can change for the better for you.
Becoming a model is a very hard thing to do, esp. when you don't know the right people in the industry. I reason I said you should try modeling is b/c you have the look and the body for it.
Modeling is not about having a pretty face. Most of the agency look for the body type and the attitude.
Any how, I do understand what you are going through. I was like that when I was young too. Things will come together for you. Just make sure that you don't hang out with the wrong people that's all. In (specified city), there's nothing to do.
Well, consider me as a friend, anytime you need to talk you can always call me or e-mail me.

Take care!!

She seems to be older than you also. Could she just be being nice? I think asking to go out for coffee is very simple on a specific day not when shes free is a way to determine it without being too upfront and if her initial reaction is "busy" then shes more than likely not interested. But if she sets another date then, she may indeed be busy and is willing to see you.

I tell alot of people hmm oh yeah well go out for coffee but i never really want to. I always change the topic with something like "oh yeah ring me and well see what im doing" or "im not sure i think i had something on" or "oh greatt, im up for it" but the night before i will cancel if the person persisted too much and i had no other choice but to agree.

You will know if shes interested. And that way you know where you stand.

:*

But my mom was a model. And from her I've heard all kinds of ways that modeling agencies screw you over. Like they can keep on making money from a single photo shoot years later (even after photo shopping it) while you get nothing. And the "right attitude"? That's basically kissing butt with a smile while somehow appearing proud & regal while doing it. (This wasn't how she described it to me, but it's how I understood it from what she said.)

i want to clear up a few things. it sounds a little creepy the way I put it yes. but I knew well enough she was legit. no scam artist.. well i dont think so atleast.. I saw her 3-4 times over a period of months and months. and shes a little off beat to try to be leading me into a scam or anything. I'll def. be playing in her court so in alot of ways shes in control. she being 32, me 21. as well as her being in an established career and beautiful. me still trying to figure out what Im going to do with my life. lol. but i dont measure a persons worth by these standards at all so ill still enter the arena as if we are complete equals.

i got a chance to look at her license one time to write down info and noticed her bday 2-22-77. so im dealing with a pisces with a aries or taurus moon with venus aries. not my first time dealing with pisces in regards to possible romance. but sadly my pisces rap sheet has resulted in the "close but no cigar" relationships that drift apart either rapidly or over time. hopefully this will be different.

Lonake I like the way you put that. lol i wish it were like that. but people are telling me to just be cautious and not let anything go to my head. my imagination likes to run wild with these type of things. but i gotta restrain it . thanks everyone for your input you too belgz.

here is her email after i asked her out. I told her to let me know when shes available.

"Hello (my name),

You are so sweet!!
I will let you know when I am available. Just to let you know that I work in (blank), that's 45mins outside of (city), so, you going to have to come meet me in (city).

Any how, that sounds fun. I have not gone out any where in a long time, actually, since I moved here from NYC. All I've been doing is working, and when ever I have extra time, I go to NYC. That's sad right?

Well, have a great day!"

you'll know where you stand if the sun of hers isn't too evasive or elusive, or what ever.
