But to Jamie's dismay, Christopher never called.
Later that year, they saw each other while dining three tables apart at the Hugo's in West Hollywood.
Writing about their first encounter Jamie Lee wrote: "He waved to me as if to say, 'I'm the guy you called.' I waved back: 'I'm the woman who called you.' A few minutes later, he got up to leave. Standing 20 feet away, he shrugged his shoulders and put up his hand as if to say, 'I'll see ya.' As he left, I looked down at my plate."
But the night wasn't a total fail, Christopher called Jamie the next day and the couple was engaged two months later.
