Was at a family wedding Saturday. I was driving so sober. Seen a guy I thought was really handsome, thought I seen him look at me a few times (I was sober but could still be completely delusional/it be nothing). He didn't have a date.

He was speaking to my brother a lot but other than that he didn't seem to speak to many people. As I was leaving I gave my brother a lift for cigarettes and he said, 'oh that's so and so, he's a lovely guy' blah blah. So I got his name.

Looked him up on Facebook. Would it be weird/creepy to add him? It would be wouldn't it? Especially cause we didn't speak to one another?

The answer is supposed to be that she kills her sister to see him at her funeral.

Based on your response you can congratulate yourself that you aren’t a psychopath.
I wouldn’t take it too seriously though and if you are sat amongst a collection of human skulls you’ve made into ornaments then please disregard this completely 😂

I wouldn't do anything myself like add him on social media. I would ask my brother if there is a way to discreetly engineer an "accidental" meeting in some way. It's possible the guy was interested but could not work up the nerve to say anything. If he isn't interested after all, well, a second encounter will allow you to see this!

Gabiabbi · 25/10/2023 00:33

I say do it. My friend once had this guy add her on Facebook after briefly chatting to our group of friends on a night out. They're now married with 2 kids! If he accepts, then that's ok to start conversation. If not, then you've lost nothing.

Gabiabbi · 25/10/2023 00:35

Oops I should have rtft 😂well done OP, keep us updated!

Same - I was a bit disappointed at the beginning of the thread that posters had made you doubt yourself, love the ending.

We've been chatting. I said he caught my eye and he said, 'I seen you early on, you were sat in front of me at the service'. Does that mean I caught his eye also or he just generally seen me 🤣 I'm so bad at this.

Ahh, exciting!

I'd take that to mean you caught his eye also, like he's saying he noticed you at the service.

bullseyeboat · 25/10/2023 07:53

Do you have children OP? I would be very cautious adding a complete stranger to my Facebook page of it contained any detail/pics of my children.

Mrsjaffacakeys · 25/10/2023 07:53

It doesn't mean necessarily he's not interested. Some men are shy too.

looking4pup · 25/10/2023 08:20

How well does your cousin know him? What's his story? How old is he? Just be careful.

Karwomannghia · 25/10/2023 08:24

Yes it means he noticed you enough to clock where you were sitting.

Worddance · 25/10/2023 08:26

I think he's interested.

AlwaysPrettyOnTheInside · 25/10/2023 08:50

Does he live near you OP? Have you arranged to meet yet!?

PurplePansy05 · 25/10/2023 16:04

Yes, he said that to confirm he noticed you too! Any more updates?? 😁

swallowme · 25/10/2023 18:26

He's about an hour in the car from me. We chatted quite a bit last night and he messaged again a little while ago. Chat is okay, going to chat tonight and perhaps tomorrow but if no talk of meeting by tomorrow just going to leave it there.

Go you and Good luck op!

swallowme · 26/10/2023 07:58

We exchanged numbers and been chatting on WhatsApp. Chat is good, good bit of banter. Will see if he suggests a date.

CollagenQueen · 26/10/2023 08:04

I think I’d look at the wedding photos once they are uploaded to FB and see if you can find a photo with him in it. Then make a neutral comment on that photo. That would signpost him to you/your profile if he wants to reach out.

CollagenQueen · 26/10/2023 08:05

Oh ignore me! Just saw your update!

EnjoyingTheSilence · 26/10/2023 19:04

Yay! Good for you

PixieLaLar · 26/10/2023 20:25

Good for you OP and it’s nice to see the updates 😊

swallowme · 26/10/2023 22:22

Still hasn't asked to meet and started in with the sexual innuendos earlier 🥹 honestly, trying to find a man is like trying to find a fucking unicorn.

Ryansmrs · 27/10/2023 12:02

@swallowme
Oh no, what a creep, sorry to hear he has turned out like that. What on earth is wrong with some men? I hope someone decent comes into your life soon.

yellowsmileyface · 27/10/2023 12:42

Ah that's disappointing to hear! Still, I think it's better to know than to have been left wondering what could have been. Finding someone is a numbers game really. Sift through enough donkeys and eventually you'll find your unicorn!

Banned4life · 03/11/2023 11:12

Did you bin him off OP?
