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

Next time he gives you an invoice say "oh, I thought that was your number" good luck

Hand him a folded slip of paper with your number and say...."in case you're interested"?

Biscuits101 · 08/01/2018 06:54

Tell him you are trying to get rid of Christmas chocs in the house as you are trying to be good and ask him if his wife/girlfriend would like a box? Obv have some handy in case the answer is yes!

Filzma · 08/01/2018 08:25

Fully invested. OP when next do you expect him? Need to mark it in my diary ...

I’d go with honest. “Are you always this flirty? You could just give me your number. Giggle!” This gets you an answer easy enough.

Did he hand you the invoice with his gloves on? That would mean they are probably not the thick heavy duty gloves ?

It's like that game ? Taboo? Where you try and guess from partners description so a dirty milkman type delivery where gloves are required?

“Are you single?”

MollyHuaCha · 08/01/2018 09:35

Ooh I like the chocs idea from Biscuits101.

MiddleClassProblem · 08/01/2018 09:39

Chocolate idea is good

MiddleClassProblem · 08/01/2018 09:42

Currently think coal as it seems to be monthly, gloves, round the back of the house and dirty.

I’ve never had coal delivered but my impression is that it would take a little while.

It would also make his comment about bro gong it in for you a little more flirty as it’s automatically part of his job rather than it just being a big parcel that you couldn’t manage.

One of my friends met their partner this way (he delivered something to her), it's one of the strongest marriages I know.

Vitalogy · 08/01/2018 10:05

Good thread OP. Good luck.

Do you like me, sex wise? Or are you just flirting with me in that slightly crude way that middle-age divorcees do?" Alan Partridge? Grin

Just a warning regarding bend and snap.

This sounds exciting GrinGrin

Oooo some of you ladies are getting warm Wink

Due on Thurs. Just about to ring depot to place my order. Might ask his name just to confirm it is the name on invoice.

Yes absolutely his job to bring the delivery to the back as too big and heavy for me (phoar I'm trying hard not to get carried away with what his strong body looks like under those clothes Blush) and so yes no way he would be saying anything about bringing it round unless being funny/flirty.
