UPDATE: Missed connection at a meetup event didn't share contact info

Original post here

got a lot of great advice and encouragement from this whole saga. I'd figure i would give an update since I was surprised what happened.

I did message him on LinkedIn and ​shared my number. he reached out a day later with the text "can you spot the difference?" with a screenshot from the girl messaging everyone in a group chat. I wrote my number down wrong....

we are texting throughout the day now and it's nice. he said we should make plans when he's back from traveling for work. the ambiguity is gone. so if he is interested, he will make plans. it's that simple. ​he didnt find messaging on linkedin weird and thought it was funny. ​

i encourage everyone to be bold. the right person will be thrilled to hear from you. thank you to the people who gave me the extra nudge to not shut down and give up a good connection. even if it goes south, glad I put myself out there. would feel way worse letting my anxiety win.
