Shy man ( I think)

Sorry to be a name changer. Not for any other reason than, I feel a bit of a twerp TBH.

Simple question really.

How best to let a bloke know that you fancy him? I have known him as a friend for years- it's come as a bit of a surprise to me even. When we are together socially we talk a lot and get along really well and he'll very often hug me.

I'm so out of the dating loop but we're both free; I think he likes me but he is very shy and I don't want to freak him out. What would you say to let him know?

Is it really daft to send him an email because I couldn't possibly bring myself to phone him.

He lives far enough away that I could avoid him if I make a complete arse of myself.

Ipad2 info

when you have the keyboard up on screen default is normal keyboard. Press the button for the numbers screen. On the second row up at either side is a button for #+=. Use that to get another sets of buttons. Simples

Great news! I'm in a similar situation - someone I've known as a friend for over 25 yrs ... We're both now free .... But a lot to risk - eek. I draw courage from your great example ithastobedone - well done you!

hellymelly · 21/08/2011 23:22

Great news. :)

PercyPigPie · 22/08/2011 16:40

How long is he working in London OP? [sorry, just need to diarise checking this thread Grin]

DancesWithWolefCubs · 22/08/2011 20:55

Bloody marvellous Grin

ithastobedone · 22/08/2011 21:05

I didn't ask how long he'll be 'tied up' with work and he didn't say. He lives in London so I take that as meaning he's got a lot on ATM. I think he's quite senior in his role and maybe busy.

Anyway, I'm not fretting and I like the fact he's behaving very casually about it all because it won't be an act!!! I'll definitely give him a reminder if he lets it slide too long!

I hope to see him in the next few weeks
