Ds has a week left in the school.
No idea if he's got a girlfriend
I dreamt about him and can't stop thinking about him.

Content is everything here Sagaloojah. I said that you wouldn’t let it drop about the OP asking the Headteacher out not that you shouldn’t be posting!

Hotpinkangel19 · 18/07/2019 14:29

Do it op!

Discussions like this often get heated but we'd like to remind you that Mumsnet is here to make parents' lives easier. While we encourage healthy and robust discussion, we hope that everyone can respect each other.

Can we ask for a bit of peace and love?

@NoSauce

Can you quote even one post where I’ve said OP should ask him out?

NoSauce · 18/07/2019 15:11

But that’s for OP and this man to work out together. If we were all too afraid to do anything for fear of rejection then we would never do anything

That's really no reason not to try, until you know. Otherwise, no one would ever ask out anyone, on the bass that they might have a partner and kids at home

There you go. There’s possibly more given the way you’ve berated anyone disagreeing with you.

She isn't planning on riding him reverse cowboy into a full school assembly , she is thinking of giving him her number to call AFTER her son has left the school forever.

Hahahahahaha - brilliant - that would have brightened up the end of term

Of course you should go for it
(the number, not the cowboy demo Smile)

stilldontgiveaf · 18/07/2019 15:21

@SagAloojah god you're still banging on 😂

HeadintheiClouds · 18/07/2019 15:29

God, Sag, you’ve given everyone who suggested holding fire a right going over, of course you’ve advocated asking him out!

LaurieFairyCake · 18/07/2019 16:18

I've come back to see if she rode him like SeaBiscuit yet ?

What a lot of handwringing (OP) and spiteful comments.

OP, just ask him out. No bloke will mind being asked. Worst he can do is laugh at you, in which case he’s a prick and you’ve dodged a bullet.

Best case he says yes and you have a fun time.

Likely case, he says no in a respectful manner due to professionalism.

If you choose to write something in his card then be open, not coy or ‘such a help to DS’ etc as that’s a bit weird.

Something like ‘I’ll miss seeing your smiling face everyday, maybe I can take you for a drink to see it again’

Or ‘I think you’re really fit, fancy going for a drink?’ And leave your number.

NoSauce · 18/07/2019 17:48

I think you’re really fit, fancy going for a drink?’

Jesus wept 🤣

You’re not kidding NoSauce Hmm. Vicky Pollardorama.

wichitalinemanswoman · 18/07/2019 18:04

Ask him out. Worst he can say is no. Good luck!

stilldontgiveaf · 18/07/2019 19:00

‘I’ll miss seeing your smiling face everyday, maybe I can take you for a drink to see it again’

Hello restraining order 😂😂😂😂😂

brotown · 18/07/2019 19:26

Na, sorry to bore you all with my life, glad some of you have found it so amusing
I’ll go and handwring somewhere else

OP posts:
NoTheresa · 18/07/2019 19:45

Knew you wouldn’t return. Ah well, it’s pretty much the usual behaviour.

brotown · 18/07/2019 20:03

What, belittling someone’s life ?

OP posts:
brotown · 18/07/2019 20:06

Last words
I have opened up more on this thread than anywhere else in my life.
It wasn’t for your entertainment, it’s my life

OP posts:
Ineedtoknowit · 18/07/2019 20:08

Op I’m sorry how his thread went. I only read it to hope that you asked him out and he said yes! You deserve it

NoSauce · 18/07/2019 20:10

Knew you wouldn’t return. Ah well, it’s pretty much the usual behaviour

That doesn’t even make sense.

supercee · 18/07/2019 20:10

@brotown ignore the assholes. Ask him out. Probably would word it differently than what's been suggested though! 😁

wichitalinemanswoman · 18/07/2019 20:22

OP try to ignore those on here who seem to have deep issues with who you ask out.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/07/2019 20:29

Have a good Summer OP, don't let others bring you down. I still think you should slip a note in with thank you card/gift but I am a hopeless romantic and in the minority of those who loved Mad about the boy (Bridget gets the headmaster). Bottom line - it is your life, you get one chance at it Brew Cake Wine Daffodil

fuckingtwats · 18/07/2019 20:53

Just put a note in with the card asking if he'd like to go for coffee/lunch with you sometime and leave your email address/phone number.

Keep it separate from the thank you from your son.

If you see him in person beforehand then do what PP suggested and ask him about his holiday plans or similar and try to gauge from there if he's single or not.

Fingers crossed for you OP Thanks
