He waved! What does this mean - no pi$$ taking please!

[lampostposter]

I posted my message to the man I have a crush on on the lamp post as previously planned. He waved!

I am deliriously happy and excited that my crush may become real - I really have gone mad over this one.

However, he hasn't emailed me.

Was this a "Christ, you're mad" sort of wave do you think? He did smile and not in a sympathetic kind of way, more flirty.

How do I respond?

So he waved...you know I wouldnt go so far as the lampost thing but Good on you, now keep waving back and somehow get out of your bloody car and be on the same pavement as him, would be a good start

Ok interpretation of man's wave....

He has found the note....he has observed you clocking him before....he is flattered...he thinks you may be the note writer but doesn't dare come and ask you:

"'ere love did you leave a note for me on the lamppost?"

...in case he has the wrong person and you phone the police.

Therefore he decides to give you an encouraging friendly wave to let you know that it is okay to approach him..

A bloke who responds to an advert on a lampost is either an adulterer, astonishingly desperate or just plain dangerous.

Not relationship material.

How would he know it was you who put the message on the lampost?

If he hasn't emailed you, he either hasn't seen it or . . . um, doesn't want to.

How long ago did you post it?

Not so at all - he may just be romantic, fun etc rather than staid, boring and conventional

Erm... not sure about the 'advertising your wares on a lamp post' idea, tbh.
Can't you leave a note on his car?
Or even......even..... go up to him and say hello?

I think the lamppost thing is absolutely fantastic actually

I was quite surprised by his wave as it was literally minutes after I stuck the note up - I spotted him on the drive up to nursery and jumped out of the car to stick to post before dashing into nursery. I passed him on the way back down the hill after he would have read it (or did he?) and he looked and waved so I waved back and then did an unintentional pathetically shy and coy sort of head duck and giggle thing which I'm quite ashamed of!

It's been half term since so no idea what to do next.

I took the note down pretty swiftly as I found an elderly gentleman reading it when I went to go and retrieve it. So, he may not have actually seen it - there is that very slight possibility.

He would have had to be very not switched on to not see it though.

Why do I keep writing lamppost ? Polite of you all not to point it out to me

I'm sorry but I really hope you get an email from the old man

In general, when you post things on lamp posts, lots of people read them.

This practice is also considered flyposting in some councils and yes, you can be fined for it.

And it's stalkerish as well .

PMSL, Carmen!

{grin] carmenere!

If this was a film he would have read it ,tracked you down over halfterm and whisked you into a glorious sunset.
However,this is not a film....

I don't think he read it and it is coincidence that he waved that day.Maybe he likes the look of you too and hasn't thought of flyposting yet.

It reminds me of Amelie.... ahhhh

Stick another poster up saying..

"To the man that waved at me the other day..

it was me who left the original note..

blah blah blah"

you ave masses more bottle than I would veer have!

I think it's brill! So romantic, you really couldn't make it up, I hope it's the start of something fantastic for you!

Rather eccentric way of going about things, the lampost I mean. Why don't you talk to him? It's easy, you're allowed to be boring, 'does your dd like this nursery? They have such fun here etc'. Is allowed, I think.

Yes, but Amelie was a movie .

lol lol @ expat

I know that this has been perceived quite differently by the people whop have replied under this and the other thread.

I've been in two minds myself tbh.

However, despite my usual confidence I felt it might ahve been just too staged to suddenly start walking past him when he always sees me driving and I might not have been abale to avoid a hopeful look as I sauntered past!

Anyway, my biggest fear is that he might be adulterous hence why I mentioned the innapropriateness if he was married, etc.

So does wave without email most likely mean he's seen it but isn't wholly interested/he hasn't noticed the email address/he isn't sure about whether it was me?

I plan to walk back from nursery on Monday, btw. But to speak or not? "Hi I'm the mystery lampost lady, do you fancy a drink or were you waving me off?"
