To leave a note at his door

[singlemum10]

Okay, I need opinions...

I have a crush on my neighbour (who will be my neighbour for another 3 months) but I rarely see him, and when I do I’m usually with my son so it’s not really a moment to talk. But he is so kind to us both and extremely handsome. I'm a single mum in my late 20s, have 2 child-free nights a week and don't have time to meet people in day-to-day life and I very much miss having a connection with someone

So I’m thinking of leaving a note on his door like:
“hi neighbor, I always forget to ask if my stroller is in the way in the entrance - let me know if it is, and you can text me on xxx if we don’t run into each other” (I genuinely do always forget to ask)

Very neutral, not flirty as I don't know his relationship status or if he is even into me! I'm just not sure if this is the worst note ever to leave haha, just thought it might open the door veeeeeery slightly

What should I do?
A) leave the note (lowkey, no expectations)
B) leave the note but add something to make it easier to start a conversation
C) don’t leave a note, just wait until I run into him
D) abort mission completely lol

Loving this thread😆

"warm but demure" the 50's called, they want their cake back

MNHQ please can we get the laughing emoji back

This thread is hilarious!! 🤣

Who will fasten OP into her corset and overdress? She mustn’t forget her bonnet either or mr darcey the next door neighbour won’t believe she’s demure, flushed cheeks or not.

Can this be done in a Nancy from Oliver Twist accent?

🎵 As long as he needs me
Oh, yes, he does need me
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me

I'll make our love sizzle
Stood there with me lemon drizzle
I know he'll want more
If I push up me tits while looking demure🎵

Absolutely fantastic!! Bravo! 🤩

Cheers.

I've got the song stuck in my head now 🤣🤣

Beautiful. Just beautiful 😢

Whatever you do... don't dance with him more than twice at the ball!
People will talk!
Send him for some flavoured ice.

I felt sure this would end with, “he’s now my husband”.

I have a really aggressive version of oom pah pah stuck in mine. For after the drizzle. Obvs.

This might be the funniest Mumsnet thread I’ve ever read.

But I’d leave a note to say you’re moving out soon and would he like to grab a coffee before you go and leave your number.

It’ll happen or it won’t, and at most it’ll be mildly embarrassing for a few weeks.

I wouldn't use the word "grab" I'd use the word "sip" 😘

I've got "The Ride of the Valkyries" stuck in mine, but that's probably just my love of Wagner.

Have a BBQ with a handful of friends next time it's warm then invite him? Hopefully we will have a warm weekend sometime in the next 3 months...!

@ClaredeBear Absolutely not🤣 he knocked on my door a couple of weeks later and asked if I’d go on a date with him. I politely declined, things have been very awkward since!

I would ask if he wants to go for a coffee when you next bump into him

OP forget knocking demurely at his door. This is clearly the answer.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You're all making light of the OP's plight. This could be her one true love but if she follows your advice she will eat both lemon drizzle cakes alone, push up bra or no push up bra.

My idea had merit.

I'm now quite worried about the implications of making lemon drizzle cake..

If she's going to sit in the stroller., she may as well be eating cake and have some to share, surely.

Personally I think he'd be a fool to take food from anyone in those circumstances. OP if he accepts the cake when you're in the stroller, it's a red flag.

He'll probably still eat it but probably find you less alluring. I don't think raising the bar to red velvet would overcome this and it's trying too hard. It takes fifteen minutes to knock out two lemon drizzle cakes.
