Two problems I see:
1. He's not from my university.
2. Even if he were - how would he know it's me who left him the note?
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wishing your cousin safe and easy surgery, Daisy. Can empathise with the stress and the difficulty of waiting.
Shir, you know he's a doctoral student and his department. I say go and hang out in the psychology dept and see if you can find him!* (And the house pics are here, m'dear: [link] )
On which note, it's 5.35pm and it seems unlikely that the seller is going to give us a response to our offer today. This is irritating. The adrenaline is making me slightly hypomanic. Wah.
*ETA: Just saw that I'd cross-posted, and that you say he's from a different uni. Hmm. Will have to think on that, then.

“Not dead yet!”

Seska: OMG, what a charming place!
And see my reply to Vortex. He's not from my uni.

He's not from my uni.
Do you know where he was from?
2. Even if he were - how would he know it's me who left him the note?
Explain the circumstance of your meeting! He will remember.

We thought so. It's very quirky and wouldn't be to everyone's taste. It suits us perfectly. If we get it, there will be more pictures shortly!

1. He's not from my university.
do you know what uni he's from? If so, call the department and ask if they have an email address for him and send him an email.
2. Even if he were - how would he know it's me who left him the note?
"Hi! I'm not sure if you remember me, but we had a conversation about your survey on Wednesday. I wanted to help out, but since I knew about the research I couldn't. I thought that your reserach was really interesting and I really enjoyed talking to you about it. After you left, it occurred to me that I probably know some native Hebrew speakers who could take the survey. If you still need subject, drop me a line and I'll try to put you in touch with some people"

A foreign uni, IIRC (he's Israeli, though). So, not sure how much can come up from that.
But I'll keep my eyes open in uni, hoping he'll still be around.
Because really, it's all. about. timing.
Edit: I censored where he's from. It's the internet, and I don't want to hurt his privacy.

Shir, I think most USian universities have student directories that will give an email address if you have a name.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Not the US, and I have no idea what his name is. But I love you for offering it.
And now I'm getting the feeling that if it didn't happen, I shouldn't push it too much.
But God. We have severe shortage of cute guys in my uni. And esp. after Lou, I guess I just want to feel loved, unconditionally, by a fuzzy persona next to me, and drown in his eyes.
