So silly. I'm a NCing regular. and a real proper grown up, I swear

I fancy someone. But I cant get up the guts to let him know or even to contact him. I've added him on FB (it's taken me months to build up to that) and he accepted. he's liked a few of my posts and a photo. I keep seeing him online (butterflies) and want to make contact but cant think of anything to say that isn't a blatant excuse to get talking to him. AFAIK he's single- well it says so on his FB.

arrgh this is so frustrating. if this was my best friend she would be chatting away to him no problem.

don't know what i'm posting for- just need to get this out of my head.

If course he's not going to get in touch, he won't want to look desperate!

Oh no!!!

Buswanker · 23/06/2013 16:32

Do you children go to bed a decent time and sleep well? If so you could ask him over for a drink at your house?

Yay, this is definitely a date!!!

WhiteBirdBlueSky · 23/06/2013 19:06

Woooooo!

I bet you'll be snogging on the sofa before the night's over!

ImNotBloody14 · 23/06/2013 19:13

I only hope he's easy to get rid of at the end of the night!!

MissStrawberry · 23/06/2013 19:16

Don't have him in your house if you are worried about that.

Crikeyblimey · 23/06/2013 19:23

Ooh how exciting! Just say shortly after he arrives that you'll have to kick him out at x O'clock cos you have y to do in the morning. Ground rule set, you can relax and enjoy your evening 😄

Crikeyblimey · 23/06/2013 19:24

Ooops - stupid smiley thing looked fine on the preview and now looks like a bunch of symbols.

WhiteBirdBlueSky · 23/06/2013 19:28

Yes, if you say something like that then you don't have any awkwardness.

ImNotBloody14 · 23/06/2013 19:30

Im working in the morning and dcs have school- he knows this but i'll mention it again anyway. I have no qualms about calling the police if he turns into an asshole- have a couple of big burly neighbours who would have no problem seeing him out either. If it came to it.

Ask someone to ring you at half ten, then wind things up. If all going well you will know exactly what to do. Enjoy yourself!

ImNotBloody14 · 23/06/2013 19:40

Good idea - best friend knows hes coming so i'll get her ring me.

OP I had a really LOVELY that means we shagged each other senseless relationship with a man and our first few dates were at home because of childcare issues (his and mine). It was all very relaxed and we could really chat without distraction.

We had a chaste kiss on the cheek the first time he came round. The second time we snogged in the kitchen for about 2 hours. It was very hot nice

Then we arranged some ahem adult time and went from there

I'm so excited for you!

MissStrawberry · 23/06/2013 19:52

Confused Are you just been really really cautious or do you seriously think there might be a problem with him leaving when you want him too?
