Ok so I went out for dinner with a few of my friends tonight (the one guy in question was among them) and I found out that he is leaving tomorrow to go back home and I won't see him all summer. Now I'm not like heart broken about that but I really wanted to ask him about his sexual orientation before long... it's already been a month since I've been trying to build up the courage to ask him.

So I guess what I'm asking now is would it be acceptable to ask him about it in an e-mail or on MSN or something? How would you react? Because now that I know I won't see him until next September I don't really want to wait... I think it would be weird if I went up to him in September and said something like "I noticed last March..." that's why I'm thinking about an e-mail or something. If you think that an e-mail is inappropriate than do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
