Perfecty played, but lost in overtime

Short version?  A cute IT guy came into work to give me a presentation of the latest promotional product.  Because I thought he was cute, I decided to email him.  After consulting with friends and co-workers, I came up with this final version and sent it:

Hi Dave,

it was really nice to meet you yesterday; thanks for stopping by to go through the system.  I’ll show my boss this afternoon so you can have the demo space back.    

Also, I don’t know if you've ever been to a Winterhawks game before, but I have 2 extra tickets for this Saturdays game if you’re interested.  I’ll be dancing that night (I’m on the dance team for the Winterhawks) and if you’ve never seen ice dancing, you don’t want to miss it. 

Thanks again and hopefully I'll see you sometime soon.

He responded with:

Hi Stephanie,

I would LOVE to see a game.  I've been to a few Winterhawks games before but it's been a few years.  Ice dancing is new and intriguing...

It was my pleasure to talk to you yesterday.  Let me know if you have any questions, want another demo for your boss, etc.

YIPPEE!!!!  After more consultation, and filtering down MANY options, I settled on this response:

Sounds great!  I’ll leave your tickets in Will Call – the game is at 7 in the Rose Garden. I'll be on the concourse before the game, so if you see me, please say hello! Here’s my cell if you have any trouble with the tix 208.630.4132.

 See you there :)

-Stephanie

In addition to this, I left a small note in the will call envelope saying something to the effect of:

My parents are in town this weekend, otherwise I'd invite you to a drink after the game.  Next game for sure! Hope you Enjoy!

Which brings us to today. I JUST received an email from Dave saying:

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for the tix to Saturday's game - the Rosebuds put on a great show!  There was certainly a lot of enthusiasm in our section when you guys were on the floor.  It was too bad we couldn't hold on to the lead to the end.  It's been several years since I attended a Winterhawks game and that was the first down-to-the-wire shootout I've seen.  

 THE END. 

I guess another one bites the dust, but I can take comfort in the fact that I put forth the effort and played my part perfectly.  I'll chalk it up to practice, I guess.
