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

Oooo I love a bit of a romance.

Just write your number on a slip of paper, give it to him and say 'give me a call when you're free if you like' - that way he's under no obligation.

You'll (hopefully) find out if he's single either right then or when (if) he calls you.

Anybody else singing “I’m a coal man...” in their head?

Ok delivery arranged but not sure I will in when he comes! It's so annoying because if I miss him he won't be back for another fortnight!! I could leave the old invoice with a wee note on it saying 'you forgot to put your number?' And then when I come home if there is no number I can just avoid being here whenever he is due Grin

That's a good idea! 'You forgot to put your phone number...so here's mine ' Smile

Op you’ve said he give you his number previously .. why haven’t you ever text him?

BoeandBall · 09/01/2018 13:09

I think if you're shy/worried about it, you should make sure you're definitely out when the parcel arrives and leave a note asking for his number, or leave your number asking him to call you to arrange something. Then you can save embarrassment

dippingmytoe no he didn't actually give me his number, just joked that the invoice he was handing me was his number iyswim

I’m off sick in bed.
You need to arrange a date with this guy to cheer me up...
Leave a note on your door...
Dear veg box guy, here is my number.
There’s not enough love in the world. What’s the worst that can happen - he is flattered???

PinkChestnut · 11/01/2018 09:35

Shamelessly placemarking! Hope you see him today OP! If not definitely do the note and number on invoice! Grin
