Challenge and chase and capture

A man writes on the internet he is searching for a woman in DC who he met on a previous New Year's Eve. She did not give him her address. Bad sign. But she said find me. A challenge.
With the aid of the internet and newspapers on line he tracks her down. She is now trolled by thousands and deletes all her contacts.
What does he do? Fly to DC with a bunch or roses and a ring? Maybe that would be too much too soon. He should be asking if she is in another relationship and saying he will wait until she is free and if and when she is he has the place for a romantic meal.
She has already been to New Zealand so she has the energy and money to travel that far. But now it's his turn to make a move or wait for encouragement.
Why has she not replied to him?
Maybe she is in another relationship. Either she was all along. Or she has since found somebody.
The problem is he looks anxious and upset in his photo, despite what he says about being a cheerful person. If he'd looked really happy and written how delighted he was to find her, she might have responded equally positively and seen it as a romance.
Especially if he'd said, no strings, let's just meet and either move forward or bring closure to this quest to find you.
But his miserable complaint about 'being hurt before' is a recipe to her and anybody else of the way he expects life to be.
