Is he desperate?

Hello, what do you all make of this? I have been going to a public place, wont say where as possibly outing, with my DS and his father. Although me and DS' s father are not together we still go out as a family and may well look like we are in a relationship.
Anyway we go to this public place everyweek and a person that is employed there has made it very obvious that he likes me. He smiles and stares. The usual stuff to show he 'likes me'.
However in that time I have been pregnant and had my DD, which he is aware of, and he is still giving me hints that he 'likes me'. I also believe he thinks I like him as 2 years ago I stared at him for no particular reason but since then I have given him no 'hints'.
I do not get why this bloke would pursue me withme having two children and a 'partner'. AIBU unfair to think he is desperate

You’re about 25 aren’t you if you’re mid 20s so surely the max he can be is 10 years younger!

Whatislife123 · 25/02/2018 18:56

Yes but he constantly stare and smile. Does he try to give you eye contact

No he looks like he is in his mid twenties. I will be 36 in a few months

Maybe he's looking for a sugar mama

Coconutspongexo · 25/02/2018 19:01

Yes he does give me eye contact because that’s what most people do? 🙄

PhelanThePain · 25/02/2018 19:01

Just curious as to why he would carry on with his behaviour when I am playing 'happy families

Carry on his behaviour of smiling?

Again, if you’re not interested in him, why have you spent two years cultivating this obsession?

PhelanThePain · 25/02/2018 19:02

This is so cringey. I’m embarrassed for you and I don’t even know you!

FucksakeCuntingFuckingTwats · 25/02/2018 19:05

Why do you honestly even care if you don’t like him. Maybe he’s seen your ex in there on dates with other women and is smiling at you I’m sympathy thinking you are being taken for a mug?

Royalfuckup · 25/02/2018 19:07

😂

OP, you are funny! Batshit crazy but very funny!

Thanks for the laughs! GrinWine

MadMags · 25/02/2018 19:09

You have to be joking! I’m mortified for you!

Royalfuckup · 25/02/2018 19:13

I think the OP is on the wind up.

Happy drinking everyone! WineGin

PhelanThePain · 25/02/2018 19:14

I’m just imagining this guy having his colleagues rip the piss out of him ‘cause of the weirdo stalker woman who comes in every week and watches him to “catch him staring” at her whilst twiddling her hair and batting her eyelids, as her kids go hungry because the spoon has stopped mid air between Mum and mouth Grin

Whatislife123 · 25/02/2018 19:20

How am I stalking him when myself and ex have been going to that particular costa for over 5 years. Way before him. And some of your posts have made me chuckle so thank you😘😘

He’s only looking and smiling! He’s not hitting on you! He’s not saying “when you gonna let me take you out?”, he’s not writing his number down for you, he’s just standing there.

Whatislife123 · 25/02/2018 19:21

Obviously he has a thing for sexy older women. Brew

Ah mate, I do believe from the progression of this thread that you're a plain ol' mad fantasist, but what the hey? We all need a little fun to get though the week.

Here's a little soundtrack for you to play to yourself in your head next time you're sashaying around Costa of a Saturday morning.

Aridane · 25/02/2018 19:32

OP - I think you are reading a little too much into this

SundaySalon · 25/02/2018 19:38

I do love how much you are backing yourself here OP! Good luck on your conquest. When will you be approaching this young man? Also any chance you want to divulge where about this Costa is so I can come, enjoy a latte and a laugh?

PhelanThePain · 25/02/2018 19:41

I bet we have enough MNers to be able to stake out every single costa all day next Saturday and find out how this “desperation” manifests itself.

I have five in my town... I estimate I could cover them all in half an hour if I do a brisk walk.
