To approach a man I see running?

[messychocolate]

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?

So you pass him twice?

First pass, yell “Would you like to...” as you run past him.

Second pass, read the room. Does he look interested? If so, complete the sentence with “...tickle my stomach from the inside?”
Does he not look interested? Then complete with “...get out of my way you baggy-shorted dickhole?”

I think that’ll get your point across, make you appear mysterious, and give you a way to hold your head high if he’s not up for it.

Feign severe dehydration when he comes close and suggest only a trip to the pub could help?

Wear a light running jacket, zipped to the neck. As you pass him, whip open the jacket to reveal "Call me" on your t-shirt underneath.

Put your number on the reverse of the jacket so he can read it as you sprint away.

Up the sexy anti with some hot new running kit, low top and great cleavage inducing sports bra. Catch his eye when you run towards him, hold eye contact, give a little smile with lips pressed together. Then when you’ve got his full attention look away, still smiling, and keep on running without saying a word. Repeat for x2 weeks. You’re in this for the long game now. He will be desperate to talk to you after a bit of playing hard to get.

What's bend and snap?

RTFT

What is running etiquette re stopping other runners? I’m all for the nothing ventured nothing gained camp!

I’ve rtft and I still don’t get the bend and snap? Now snapped and farted I know all about!! 😁😆

Check out still miss blockbusters link for bend and snap possibly include fart?

Still? 🤪

The bend and snap is from Legally Blonde.

Type it into YouTube, I'm sure it's on there somewhere.

There are two links to videos of the bend and snap on this very thread.

@Tulips how is she running, breathing, pressing her lips together and smiling all at the same time? If OP can do all that she doesn’t need our advice (or maybe it’s just me that runs with an open-mouthed grimace?).

Hit him and shout TAG!

@Bodear

Ah yes, as a non-runner I hadn’t thought this through... Can’t the OP breathe through her nose for a bit for her sexy run-past?

Better not breathe through the nose if it makes her sound like a mad bull. That's just me perhaps?

**Hit him and shout TAG!

I love this!

Or carry a relay baton and hand it over it to him as you pass him!

Or just continue to be yourself and if it’s meant to be anything else it will be....

Sign up to a 5k, 10k or whatever distance you fancy and ask if he has any training tips or fancies joining you on a run to help?

Good luck op, we only live once so you might as well do something, you won’t regret doing something but you might always regret doing nothing

'and great cleavage inducing sports bra'

That surely can only have been posted by a non-runner!

As a one off, it might be OK. After all...

"Sign up to a 5k, 10k or whatever distance you fancy and ask if he has any training tips or fancies joining you on a run to help?"

I think if she was on speaking terms, this thread wouidn't have happened. At the moment, there are merely runners ships that pass on Saturdays at night. And either she has to stop him, or signal to him that his stopping wouid be welcome. Or it will simply be a case of yearning and heaving mono-bosom (in a fit-for-purpose strap em down running bra)

I love threads like these.... I hope you see him again on Saturday op. How exciting!
