To ask if he is single!

inmyshoos · 07/01/2018 22:22

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

Bulletfox maybe we didn't understand what she meant by delivery ☺️😊😝

MissMudskipper · 13/01/2018 19:57

Maybe she's on a date right now hence no response

MiddleClassProblem · 13/01/2018 19:57

Maybe his package wasn’t up to much...

Still singing “I’m a coalman” in my head

Ask!

I recently did this for a friend by first asking what the guy in question had planned for the weekend. His answer, “cleaning my flat”

Just before Christmas we asked him if he was ready for the festive period. His answer, “nothing to get ready for, I’ll spend it alone”.

Next we took to social media and researched all we could. Then I slipped him her number, and a few days later, convinced her to ask him outright. Few days after that, I asked him again to which he said, “I’ll message her tomorrow”

And he did. And they got together. And they are smitten. Like bloody teenagers. It’s lovrly to see after she went through so long in a loveless relationship.

Life’s short, ask the question!

Just read the whole thing and now I’m hanging for an update. Your story made it all the way to Australia 🇦🇺.
Please what happened?

TooSleepyToCare · 13/01/2018 22:00

supastar1501 · 13/01/2018 22:31

Also stalking. As a fellow single person, I am living in hope! X

AnnieMall · 13/01/2018 22:55

You could say something like "I'm sure I saw you with your wife/partner in town last week, but you didn't notice me say hello to you"...hopefully he will say he hasn't got one 😊

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 13/01/2018 22:57

Oh back in my single days I’d always use the “I bet your wife thinks you’re funny” it works every time.

MiddleClassProblem · 13/01/2018 22:59

Good one, Pricilla

Birdshitbridgegotme · 13/01/2018 23:18
