Great essay, but I really, really wish the author had some guts and stopped missing opportunities, both online and offline. Even when she finally got some courage at the end, the result was (at best) "awkward."
that was one of the points of the essay, though. the intersection between personal space and online, duology of self in a way, the artist as voyeur behind a closed door. breaking those boundaries loses something. and y'know, I'd have been way too scared to talk to him at the first coffee shop incident too.
