Looking for a bit of advice really. I'm a single parent with one little girl. Yesterday I attended a meeting and there was a gorgeous guy there, I definitely felt a connection of some sort and would have liked to chat to him properly but I couldn't. Basically I run the meet so it would be completely unprofessional for me to approach the guy. He contacted me today to get some information for some work he is doing and left me his number so I could get In touch with him if I needed any further details.

Part of me wants to text him but I feel it's unprofessional, I love my job and don't want to jeopardise it in anyway. Btw he doesn't work for my company.

I'm sure if he was interested he would have checked out my Facebook ( that's how most people get info!) there is a photo of me and my daughter on there so he may assume I'm with someone 🤔 So he may not want to approach.

I think if he was as interested he would approach me regardless?

I can't find him as he has a very common name (as in loads of people have the same name as him!)

I think you need to call him to get some further details!!!!

and then come and report back.

AlternativeTentacle · 04/07/2017 18:35

Put his number into facebook and it will find him for you.

ha ha, he got all the details he needed via email from me. I should of probably called him but I'm not forward enough, plus he had my number so could of called me 😆 I'm so rubbish with all this dating stuff, I'll be single forever at this rate...!

I just don't want to do the pursing especially if he has a a gf or wife!

Are you likely to bump into him again? If you are next time you can drop you're single somehow into the conversation. Then if he's interested he'll hopefully make a move?

It didn't come up, assuming you put it in the top search bar?

I very much doubt we will bump into each other again, it would be a fluke if we did.

It was weird the guy stayed with his mate for the rest of the meeting, despite my boss saying he didn't need to. He sat for a further 90 minutes for nothing 😆

Drop him a friendly message in a couple of days then and see.

😬😬😬 I'm too scared to do that. Plus I like I said I worry it's not very professional!

OP posts:
DontstepontheMomeRaths · 04/07/2017 20:04

I think it depends what's in the message. I once follows someone up with an email as I felt there was chemistry. Kept it friendly but bland and two emails later he asked me for a drink.

Justhadmyhaircut · 04/07/2017 20:06

When you type in his name on fb put the area he is from next to it.......

Yes I think I may have ended the conversation too quickly, I was so concerned about coming across as professional as possible because I didn't want to seem like I was too keen 😬😆 but I could do a follow up messsge at some point and what he says.

You can still be professional and reach out to him socially. Send him a text or call and ask if he would like to meet for a drink. You only live once!

But I'm worried he may had a partner and will feel really silly for being the one who reaches out first...

If he contacted you for information you could reasonably offer to meet up with him to talk him through it - or ask him a question that gives him the opportunity to ask you?

user1486956786 · 05/07/2017 05:02

Perhaps follow up message in couple of days to see if there's anything else you can help with / if the info was sufficient??

Then report back to us with his response :-)

user1486956786 · 05/07/2017 05:03

Don't feel embarrassed if he has a GF/Wife!! It's not like you are to know. If he does, at the end of the day it's compliment to them both :-)
