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?

My hunch is that if he's doing the same route at the same time, he's probably got restrictions on his time e.g. a family.
Or work, or he just likes that route, or is a creature of habit.

@yabbers you missed the name change fail.
Op might not be so bothered if the man is wearing a wedding ring or if he is a family man after all. 😒

MrsSnafu · 01/06/2019 13:13

Ooh....awkward!!

I didn't see that coming!

MrsSnafu · 01/06/2019 13:14

I looked in for some light romance and got drama instead.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 01/06/2019 13:20
Hmm
thegingeningeclansmum · 01/06/2019 13:25

Just wow, leave the poor guy alone 🙄

Handbaghag · 01/06/2019 13:26

Sorry, being a bit thick but what do people mean by name change fail? Onceacheatclaimed to be OP bit wouldn't it still show in green? Are we now saying OP has form?

Handbaghag · 01/06/2019 13:27

*but

Amibeingdaft81 · 01/06/2019 13:29

Major cock up by OP!! Grin

But actually when you read her attitude towards married men it’s Hmm and Shock

No; only posts by the username that started the thread are in green.

OP had another thread running all week about her affair with a married man who has a 7 month old baby, and whether she should tell the wife now that the husband has broken off their affair.

It seems she has a very dramatic life.

GrinLove a good name change fail

So you're not single then Op?

100percentplease · 01/06/2019 13:39

I think OP is but the guy on other thread isn’t therefore we can assume she won’t care if running man is. I might be wrong but that’s what I’ve ascertained here.

bobstersmum · 01/06/2019 13:53

Isn't one man enough op?

Popc0rn · 01/06/2019 13:55

OP (onceacheat AKA messychocolate) has got some serious drama going on, maybe have a break from men for a little bit, married or single!

Jeezo, how many threads does one woman need?

100percentplease · 01/06/2019 13:59

She’ll just name change again and go back to posting Angry

Ticklingcheese · 01/06/2019 14:05

Thought I was rooting for a nice shy person. Turned out to be for someone with very questionable morals, imo.

Leave men with partners alone, op. You won't get much credit or a nice life, if you keep this up.

HobbyIsCodeForDogging · 01/06/2019 14:08

Wow what a bitch. OP stop running after multiple men. Literally.

lboogy · 01/06/2019 14:18

Omg 😂😂😂😂 I'm starting to think OP has multiple user names with new stories to keep us entertained.

Another plot twist - imagine if MN HQ sits around making up stories to post on here to keep us all entertained!

Amibeingdaft81 · 01/06/2019 14:20

Jeezo, how many threads does one woman need?

Lonely and probably a little bit unhinged

PurpleDaisies · 01/06/2019 14:21

Ok. Confused

Amibeingdaft81 · 01/06/2019 14:21

These kind of threads... I often suspect the OP is lovely and attention seeking, but so many posters get totally invested. It makes for odd and a little uncomfortable reading on occasion

Amibeingdaft81 · 01/06/2019 14:22

lonely
