To approach a man I see running?

I go for a run every Saturday morning and I quite regularly see a man who is also running. A few weeks ago he was wearing shorts and I admit I probably did look him up and down when we passed each other and I think he saw this. I then gave him a little smile, which most people do when they pass each other. When we passed each other a second time I think he wiped his sweat off and adjusted himself just before we got to each other.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and when I saw him next I looked down as I was a bit embarrassed to be honest but just as we passed, I looked up at him and he was smiling at me.

Anyway, he is good looking and for some reason I am really drawn to him. Obviously I know nothing about him or his relationship status but AIBU to try and flirt, or say something to him, try and attract his attention etc? What should I do?

Come on OP! What have you got to lose? Apart from dignity, self respect and your current running route? But! It could be sooo good. He might be your lobster Smile

AuntieStella · 31/05/2019 08:14

Could you let us know exactly what clothes he wears to run?

Just wondering if there are any clues there (about where else you might find him)

When you see him tomorrow, manoeuvre so you are directly in front of him. As you get closer open your arms wide and slow your pace down so you are literally running in slow motion, suspended in air momentarily as each foot gently engages the ground lifting you up, your hair, your breasts moving in weightless motion. The sun behind you, creating a halo of early morning gold around your flaxen hair, tiny drops of perspiration glinting like gold-encrusted diamonds in that soft morning sunlight, bounce off your skin, and he sees you. This woman, her sculptured figure, but alive and hot and moving, and gorgeous, desirable. As you get closer, you look in each other’s eyes. You see he wants you. He sees you know he does, then he is committed, captured by you.

You both stop, your breathing is laboured. Your skin is glowing, your hearts are racing, your eyes are moving over every inch of each other. Promises of what could come.

You feel drawn in to each other. A strange sensation beyond your power is physically bringing you together. Your fingers touch, his thigh is pressed into yours, your leg is wrapped round his knee, your breasts are touching his heaving chest. Your sweat is mingling together and you are locked.

This only came to pass because in your complete focus on him you forget to spot his miniature schnauzer on a long lead, which, in its confusion to protect its master, has run yapping circles round you both, unwittingly bonding you. Now you hear it, above the chill out music.....yap yap yap

Yap....yap....yap...yap......

WillyNilly00 · 31/05/2019 09:36

Does anyone else feel like saying "tag- you're it!" Would actually be a really good idea?? It's definitely what I would do but I'm not exactly subtle.. Or mature Grin

@Al203 Fanfiction on a Mumsnet thread has to be a first, right? Genius!

Please tell me you work in creative writing?!

Horsemad · 31/05/2019 22:53

Ha, my theory on him looking at you a bit weird on the 2nd circuit is that he's a twin and it's the other one whose been smiling at you, hence him looking at you weirdly! 😆

carrottopper · 31/05/2019 22:54

Place marking 😊
