AIBU in asking for help to find this man

I have just had the most movie-like experience of my life. In Tesco of all places.
Absolutely stunning man (in my eyes anyway), a tanned enhanced Heston Blumethal without glasses. I imagine he would be a redhead, had freckly skin. No ring on any fingers. He is holding two bottles of red wine, we are nowhere near the wine aisle. I smile and he smiles back. Cue lots of "meeting" in aisles and smiling at each other. I get to the wine aisle and pick up a bottle. He's re-entering the wine aisle and says to me "I think you look gorgeous by the way". I respond with "I was thinking the same about you" and carried on walking. I'm back near the front of the store grabbing some spring onions, and he appears. Says "I'm not following you, you know" and laughs. I laugh back and go into the scan and shop. Notice he is in the self serve. I go out and as I'm packing away I notice he is looking at me from his car. I take my trolley back and get into my car, reverse out of my space and he is behind me in his car. He waves to me and we part at the mini roundabout.
So, AIBU in plastering this all over facebook or taking an ad out on the roundabout in the hope of finding this man? I was only saying to my friend at the weekend that I think love is going to pass me by now I am single again and this was bloody fireworky-type sparks.
YABU: Leave it and see if you bump into him again, or he can track you down
YANBU: Plaster it over Facebook. Take an ad out on the roundabout saying: Me; blue dress, glasses and flip flops, buying spring onions and driving a Ford. You: Tall, bald and tanned with great teeth, carrying two bottles of red and driving a Nissan. Message me on (new email address set up for this purpose)

@CMSdividend

I know exactly which store you mean.

Why would he be buying two bottles as a single man?

I was thinking the exact same thing!

He was picking up wine for a night in with his g/f (or wife) - he thought he’d have a bit of fun flirting with a complete stranger whilst he was at it.
I don’t think I’d be putting anything on SM.

Sally090807 · 18/08/2022 07:37

He was holding 2 bottles of red wine, so who were they for?.
I’d let it go and if it’s meant to be it will happen.

Good family car! Any car seats in the back?

I made the Panda Express noodles that I saw on instagram. Had the pak Choi and other bit but was missing spring onions. Absolutely delicious.

Any chance of a recipe for those noodles? They look delish.

This is actually really creepy. There's potentially identifiable info about this man (half his car reg and description of him and his car) being put on here and people are egging it on.

This is stalkerish. And seriously creepy.

Yep.
Also, unnecessary info. Like someone is going to say ‘oh that’s my single brother’

NewDiag · 18/08/2022 07:45

Omg I think you were in my local Tesco!! Does the town begin with R?!

Good luck finding him 😊

I am not sure it's wise to actually post identifying info here?

wasiwrongtoask · 18/08/2022 07:50

I agree with going back at the same time over the next few days. Years ago I bumped into a guy I had a childhood romance with in a club. We spoke briefly but were both with other people. The next week I went to the same club alone and he did the same with the sole intention of meeting again. We didn't arrange it and were together for several years after that.

dottiedodah · 18/08/2022 07:51

Just make tesco your store! And see if you can track him down. I don't think this is stalker territory. Obv a connection there.why not follow up .could be the one!

dribblewibble · 18/08/2022 07:51

Actually some of you need to wise the fuck up.

The op could be anyone and she could have nefarious reasons for doing this. We don't know.

Catch yourselves on.

dribblewibble · 18/08/2022 07:52

You don't think posting his description, half his car reg and a description of the make and model of his car and enough info for posters to have identified the store is stalkery? Okaaaay .....

HelpMeGetThrough · 18/08/2022 07:52

Ahhhhhbisto · 17/08/2022 21:37

Maybe this will be picked up by the dail mail and he will see it and head to the wine aisle everyday at the same time!

Then you have to decide if a dail mail reader os the right man for you 😂

God, if the Fail picked this up, you could just imagine the headline...

"Their eyes met over the Blue Nun..."

PoseyFlump · 18/08/2022 07:56

Agree @dribblewibble this thread has taken a bit of a turn. We all protect our identities on here, shouldn't we do the same for others too?

The 'your gorgeous' thing. You know he probably casually says that to lots of women right? He sounds like a chancer.

Sally090807 · 18/08/2022 08:02

nissan xtrail isn’t exactly a single guys car in my opinion, more like a family car.

SouthernFashionista · 18/08/2022 08:04

He sounds like a sex pest. Or at the least, a creep. What on earth would possess you try and pursue him? No doubt he has an unsuspecting partner at home.

Tontostitis · 18/08/2022 08:04

If he'd wanted to he would and could have asked for your number. He didn't which tells me he loves flirting, loves getting reactions but has no interest in pursuing you. It was a lovely ego boost for you both just enjoy it for what it was.

lollipoprainbow · 18/08/2022 08:05

FWIW my friend just met a guy loitering in the supermarket aisles - a week later she’s totally loved up, so it could happen to you!

Probably the same guy 😂

But it's fine for the OP to plaster his details all over MN. The double standards on this post seriously.

PoseyFlump · 18/08/2022 08:06

@lollipoprainbow 😂😂

dribblewibble · 18/08/2022 08:06

I saw this woman in the supermarket. Pure Sex on legs. My absolute dream woman. she's 5ft 8 long blonde hair lovely figure. She spoke to me twice as she saw me round the supermarket. I'm actually getting flutters. and she was buying two bottles of wine. She drives a blue Ford Fiesta. Her reg ends in rug and probably has the numbers 7 and 4 In it. Can you help me track her down?

And you lot would be salivating trying to track down a random woman for a weirdo bloke you have no idea of the intentions of

I actually despair at the level of sense on here.

SouthernFashionista · 18/08/2022 08:07

Well at least we know he’s not a wine snob …
