DU Romanceurs... Need Romantic Writing Advice

So, there's this guy I work with - not a coworker, but the point of contact for one of my clients (I'm a legal consultant). I have many reasons to believe he likes me a lot. I like him a lot too (he doesn't know that). He wrote Xmas cards for everyone on my consulting team, all of which were the usual Happy Holidays/Happy New Year, except that mine was a little longer, thanking me for everything etc.

Anyway, I have yet to thank him for the card (which I didn't get until the other day). I was thinking of writing an e-mail to him to thank him, but I need help from the romantic writers/souls of DU to send a witty e-mail that 's personal, humorous and flirty (but not too much), but professional (just in case... LOL). I am stumped (I suck in this department).

I would appreciate any suggestions you may have... I've been wrestling with this one since Thursday, when I got the card.

losing"... that is the advice I always give the lovelorn, the lovestruck and the spurned. Plus, it's not even a gift. A thank you note does not mandate a thank you note back. No. My advice... Ask him out. Invite him somewhere fun and light. Gallery opening. A day date, even.Of course it is okay to write when you are already in a relationship and your love is just spewing onto the page.

Happy new year.
