To ask if he is single!

To ask for flirting advice!!! I have a crush on a delivery man who comes around every now and again. He is very flirty but it might just be his way. Quite cheeky chappy type. How can I ask if he is single without it being really awkward and embarrassing? I've been married for the past 15 years so I'm a bit rusty with this kind of stuff!
Am a bit worried he is just a cheeky flirty type and I embarrass him and myself! Blush

I am so invested in this. Handsome, muscly yogurt (but not yogurt) man had better be straight and single Smile

inmyshoos · 08/01/2018 00:17

Oh toast I love that you are invested Grin
I will keep you posted (now what a pun that'd be if it were the postman...)

If it were me, I'd get my friend to do some digging! That way she can also gauge his reaction to having a secret admirer. I'm guessing he is not flirty with her as well?!

Just looked up the wiki snap and bend...blimey, if I attempted that I'd put my back out.

Lol I’m going to spend the week thinking about filthy dairy products... I know I’m way off

MiddleClassProblem · 08/01/2018 00:22

Whipped cream delivery man...

Mud delivery man...

He doesn’t delivery manure, does he?

frasier · 08/01/2018 00:28

Window cleaner?

Am I the only one thinking that this has potential to be our next GEG thread?! And just look how that developed!! Wink

What about just offering him a coffee or tea when he next delivers.
If he's interested in you (and hopefully not too busy) he's bound to say yes and he'll probably remove his gloves to drink it, so you can see if he's wearing a ring. It would also gives you longer to chat and ask him a little about himself.

AtSea1979 · 08/01/2018 00:42

Wtf do you lot get delivered?!

I’m guessing it’s one of the supermarkets or Hello Fresh/Gousto delivery. I got Gousto for a while, he was very friendly.
I wouldn’t dream of making advances on someone at work. If he’s interested he’ll ask you.

TemptressofWaikiki · 08/01/2018 00:48

For those that need a visual... Grin

iggleypiggly · 08/01/2018 00:54

Does he clean your septic tank?? Shock

Glancearmstring · 08/01/2018 01:02

Ok this is what you do!
Next time he's at your house, open your door and say woahhhhh I thought that was gorge cloony for a minuteGrin

No don't say that Grin I have no idea with this sort of thing.
I think ask fishing questions to find out more about him may be.

MiddleClassProblem · 08/01/2018 01:07

I think the fact that he always wears gloves is a clue to his product.

There was an episode of Round The Twist when I was a kid and this boy always wore gloves. Turned out it was because he had fingernails growing on his knuckles. I hope it’s not that...

TinklyLittleLaugh · 08/01/2018 01:09

Hmm, I do think that with some jobs, window cleaners and posties and the like, flirting is actually part of the job description. Our very fit young window cleaner is very flirty with me and I'm 53 and no sexpot. Hell he's even fairly flirty with DH. He's also married with loads of kids.

Not trying to be mean OP, but flirting is par for the course really.

Bloomed · 08/01/2018 01:14

Say you've just put the kettle on and would he like a drink.

iggleypiggly · 08/01/2018 01:17

middleclass gloves are a clue.... imstill none the wiser!! I’m intrigued Blush

IlikemyTeahot · 08/01/2018 01:33

Colman?
