My love affair with an Asda delivery driver is not to be...

[Glorianaz]

I order a food shop from Asda most weeks. About 2 months ago I was nicely surprised by the most gorgeous delivery driver, exactly my type. He hesitated as I signed off for my shopping and gave me a flirty wink. For reference - I was ready to go out for the day so my hair was done I was dressed and I had makeup on.

Since then every bloody week I've made sure to look decent incase he shows up again convinced we will pluck up the courage to talk to eachother and our romance would blossom. But he didnt so I lost hope.

Today my shop came. I have crohns disease and I'm having a particularly bad flair up so I feel like crap. I was in pyjamas, hair pulled back and no make up. AND THERE HE WAS FFS.

I took my shopping and signed off trying not to look at him and afterwards he asked me if I have a younger sister or something that lives with me. I am bloody mortified. Apparently I am so hideous without my make up and hair done that I am unrecognisable!!!

Is there any coming back from this?! I would guess not..

Please somebody share my pain!

Oh dear....!

Next time say, 'I believe you met my big sister last time.'

Once I over slep and was woken by my Ocado man (always the same guy so we’d chatted etc). Anyway. I ran downstairs and flung the door open to find a look of horror on his face. That’s when I remembered I was wearing my skimpiest pyjamas (little frilly short pants and low cut strapped top). If we were more attractive it could have been the start of a porno. I switched to Waitrose after that.

I did consider being prepared next time and pretending I was my own sister...
But then imagine if we got into a relationship and he saw me in the morning and realised I am my sister. Or if he asked to meet her I'd have to do a Mrs doubtfire.

Ohhhh God. Can you just imagine going on with the mystery sister story forever haha!

It's a good thing!!! So he met you once, ages ago, and winked and he clearly remembered your house and you! This is all positive! Yes, you need to try to find him and pretend you have a sister

@ Mrs Doubtfire

I remember as a teenager having to rush downstairs early in the morning (I was working late shifts in my defence!) and sign for my DM’s weekly shop. The driver took one look at me and then wouldn’t make eye contact again, and I couldn’t work out why. Until I looked in the mirror and saw that i’d put huge blobs of toothpaste on my spots to try and cure my teenage troublesome skin.

I always think and cringe about that day.

Theres not much chance of romance with someone that knows they're not attracted to you in your bare state really is there? The illusion has been shattered.

It's a shame really. I'd snagged him loads in my head.

Shagged* even

OP Crohns is so horrible I am just impressed you managed to answer the door. Anyway you probably looked sexily disheveled!
Hope you are ok and your flare reigns itself in soon.

redpostbox it really is shit I was diagnosed last year and I'm still trying to find my bearings. Thank you so much for your well wishes x

@BogglesGoggles I’m wetting myself! 😂

At least he didn't think you were your mother...

😂😂
But all is not lost! It doesn't mean you weren't still attractive, just looked very different? I look totally different without makeup.

Maybe he thought you were someone else because you were "trying not to look at him". So instead of the friendly flirty person he met before, this time there was no recognition, so he thought you were someone else.
Doesn't matter what you are wearing, just be friendly next time, all is not lost! And if things do progress to there needing to be an explanation then, yeay, you're getting somewhere! And can just say you weren't well today.
Good luck, hope he comes back soon

Other way around for me. I usually answer the door in my PJs, hair not done, no make up etc. Have had the same delivery man for years and he always knocks stupidly early so I'm rarely up and ready to go at that time. Until the one time I had an early appointment so was done up nice and had proper clothes on. He commented that it was nice to see me out of my PJs for a change and I scrub up well!! I was too fuming to come up with anything other than 'well I'm not trying to impress anyone most mornings' when 'fuck off you cheeky bastard' would have been a much better retort.

He probably thinks you’re the GOF part of the BOGOF deal.

CookPassBabtridge that's very generous of you but I can confirm that i looked a state

At least he didn't think you were your mother... Indeed

Oh OP I'm sorry! But you have made me laugh out loud! Mrs Doubtfire

At work, our lovely ageing UPS delivery driver retired. The door buzzer goes, I check on my PC who's at the door. It is brand new young UPS delivery driver. He is gorgeous! Curly black hair, brown eyes and tanned legs (they wear shorts). He is checking himself out in the reflection of the front door, putting his lovely hair right. I say out loud 'Oh you look fooking gorgeous love' and he quickly looks round. Then I realise my window is open and he has heard my comment. I have a really deep voice and a distinctive accent - not from round here. I go to open the door, and in my poshest squeakiest voice thank him for the delivery. Now I have to remember to speak squeaky and posh every time he comes to see me deliver something

I once opened the door with a green face mask on and a highlight cap with bleached strands poking out, to find my landlord standing there. He just said 'We'd better go inside, don't want to scare the neighbours'.

'Oh you look fooking gorgeous love'

😂😂😂😂 Christ that is the best thing I've read all day
