I can attest that the prospect of getting a bottle of my favorite Scotch is what may get me to read the email. :-)
My question to Josh is:
Dude, if you are not trying to sell anything, or try to get him to read your script, then why are you bothering to try to get him to go out on a "date" - because asking a stranger out for coffee or drinks and to chat is pretty much the same thing as a "date" - there is always subtext....
