The bravest ways you have asked someone on a date?

So I am making a considered purchase from a shop - 3K and I will have to pay in instalments. It will involve some more email and phone contact, and one more trip to the shop.

After a horrible divorce and still trying to work my way through the the trauma, this is the first time I have thought - if this person asked me out on a date, I would say yes. The salesman in the shop I mean.

Cloud cuckoo land I know.

But that got me to wondering two things:

If you have mentioned your kids (in connection with what you are thinking of buying), how do you drop the fact that you are not married / in a partnership into the conversation?

And

What are your bravest examples of asking someone out - or the weirdest situations in which you have done it?

Just distracting myself really as this person may be married / committed to someone / gay or just not like me much.

Still, makes a change from feeling dead.

I didn’t mega fancy him at all, but there was something nice / kind about him.

On the school bus in front of all his mates. He said no. I haven't asked anyone since!

Years & years ago now I really fancied the guy who worked in my local bank. I didn't haven't the guts to ask him out to his face so I wrote him a note saying something along the lines of ' if you're single and fancy going for a drink, call me NAME NUMBER'
Just handed it to him over the counter one day!

Needless to say I never got a call - or went into the bank again!!!!
