Hotel guest asking me to steal his number

[Mangococktail]

I work on a hotel front desk at an upmarket hotel. Love my job.

We had a guest check in for two nights. We hit it off. He extended his stay by two more nights then another night then another.

We chatted lots including for 3 hours straight one night when I came off shift. My colleagues know I've never done anything like this before...I liked him.

When he left he tipped big and gave me a small personal gift that he knew I'd like.

He said he'd come back for lunch on Tuesday. I said well if I'm not here I hope you enjoy it. I don't know my shifts.

He then asked me to keep in touch and said I could get his number off the booking system. I told him I absolutely couldn't do that.

He said I could as he'd just given me permission.

We really got on and I'd like to see him again but I really can't be taking guests numbers off the system.

Why not just give me his number??
What do you all think?

IF a man is single, then he is free to give his number or ask for a number.

The subterfuge about making OP look for a number is just creepy. It smacks of
''Games playing.''

Men think the same!

Why can't you just send him a message through FB messenger if you've seen his page?

Then it's not a GDPR breach. You can message people you are not friends with.

You have perfect excuse. You won't be in Tuesday

No I appreciate you saying I'm an idiot.

I can't find him on social media.

Maybe back to the plan where I ask colleague to just Hi to him for me. And hope he does.

Only other alternative is to tell manager he asked me to get his number and contact him and ask permission.

Which would be embarrassing!

lol 😂😂😂

I thought you said he ran a business - What sort of business doesn't have website contact details?

Your manager can't give you the information either. That's a GDPR breach as well.

More fool you if you get his number off of the system. Especially as you've told your manager that you like him. GDPR is taken very seriously (as you know) so I hope you've got another job lined up!

OK. I'm working tomorrow.

I could leave something and then drop by on Tuesday to pick it up!!!!

Much better idea!!!

In reality he talked about his real job in huge detail and I heard him on several business calls so no I don't think so

So what is this real job then? One that involves lots of travelling for work , constant calls even when with you but has no accessible business contact details?

Did he take calls or was he making them?

Good luck Op, however you choose to proceed. I would just say that no man is worth risking your job over though - if he likes you then he'll find a way that doesn't involve game playing or any stress on your behalf!

I'm sure he has a website but I can't find it. It's something I don't know much about and I've searched and can find his previous company but not his current one.

The calls were to him. He gives advice so people were calling asking for advice and then he was having a general catch up with them. Obviously I didn't listen in detail but overheard odd snippet and later he said, "so many people asking for advice today".

Advice on what?

Maybe because if his wife /girlfriend finds out he can genuinely say he never gave you his number and that you approached him?

💯 want this to be a hallmark love story...but yeah, it's a little iffy.
Hopefully you get the best outcome on Tuesday,what ever that may be!

Tbh, this sounds like a bad rom com script and/ or he's a fantasist or playing games. But you can search his former company and him on Companies House. This only helps if he's a director or shareholder and the business operates as a company but might give some proof that he really is in a business

Companies House

Didn’t you say you found him on Facebook?

I was the receptionist, he was the guest. I didn't "steal" his number but I did ask for it. Planning our wedding now 😊

Why don’t you swap a shift and work on Tuesday. Nothing ventured and all that. I’m an old romantic and think he sounds like he likes you. Had a chequered start with my DH, like yourself the earth didn’t always move for me so when I met him
It felt exciting and seismic. Together 22 years, married 19 with a seven year old child. Let him
make the first move as you say if he’s an old movie buff he’ll know the drill. Keep us informed. Rarely have I been so excited about a mumsnet thread! Bon chance!

I am so so happy for you! It's a lovely way to meet.

I should have just asked for his number. I just froze.

I'm an idiot.

No

If he likes you he'll come back! Then make sure you swap numbers ❤️

I have. I can find his old companies. His current company is registered abroad and I can't find it.

On his area of expertise.

What sector is he in? What advice was he giving out?

Can you swap shifts and work on Tuesday?

If he was interested, sorry he’d of asked for your number. Forget about him x
