This guy and I spoke briefly on a boardwalk area off the beach several months ago. Then last month, we ran into each other again and spoke for about an hour - very fluid and engaging. He's a doctor who specializes in spines and joints, so we struck up a conversation about his experience, the kinds of cases he handles, and my previous career as a medical malpractice paralegal. Talking about specific injuries and so forth, he gave me a pseudo-exam right there by placing his hands on my hips then moving my head back and forth, etc. (During this time, he commented that I had nice hair.) Anyway, he offered me his business card when I asked him whether he was in a group or alone. I simply took it without saying anything. The conversation continued, then when we were getting ready to go our separate ways, he hugged me, and I enthusiastically told him how glad I was that we spoke and so forth. He said that he meets lots of people all the time, and you never know who he'll meet who may need a teacher, the job I was seeking. I then volunteered my telephone number for him to call me if that happens. He put my name and number right into his cell phone. We chatted a few more minutes, then he hugged me again. We walked towards our cars, and he made another comment about my hair, and I gently stroked down his arm and smiled as I walked away. End of story!!! Even though our telephone numbers were exchanged for reasons other than the usual male/female number exchange, and the topic of our getting together never arose during our conversation, I am surprised that he didn't contact me. What happened here?
