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?

Yes, a simple, 'Hello, my name is person who posts my email on lamp posts.'

I know Expat.. a fabulous movie..

I'd never dream of repsonding to an davert on a lamppost though.. it's where you advertise lost cats not hearts..

I have sympathy with lamp post poster because I did something similar at a gym I attended a decade or more ago. There was a signing in book and I wrote a note in it to one of the blokes who worked out there asking him 'how about it?' or something similar

Sorry, am i being thick or does anyone who walks past that lampost, now have your email addy ??

What's WRONG with just saying, 'Hello, my name is Saddo?'

Honestly? Leave the whole lampost thing behind. You don't even know if he read it. Perhaps he's been eyeing you up all the time in the car. You're not going to commit adultery with him, you're going to TALK to him.
Is allowed to be 'staged', you're allowed to pretend to do your shoelaces up or whatever. Never know he may be loitering on pavement, suddenly very interested in his watch, for the same reason.
Drop the lampost. Is not good. Bring it up on your fifth date.

I know, stalkerish...but is it in the realms of illegal flyposting? Gawd! I hope not.

I think the older guy was unimpressed.

I know it's pathetic but I don't really want to muck this up as he could be wonderful to get to know (or not, granted) and I'd be truly happy!

@ expat...

take a picture of your boobs and flypost his office windows? (with the pictures facing inwards)

I met one of my best lovers, however, after a shouting match with my on-off boyfriend in our hotel room.

He was in the room next door, and, like my boyfriend, his girl has stormed out.

So he saw me locking up and said, 'All off on your own?'

I said, 'I'm off to continue my downward spiral of self-destruction. Wanna come along?'

He wanted to come, allright .

Hmc, what became of it?

See? Expat TALKED to one of her best lovers. She didn't write him a note and leave it on the hotel door.

Gawd, whoever suggested putting a note on his windscreen!?

Cringe!

Hell, no, ahundred! I wanna hear their voice cuz I want to know if it's sexy!

And he had a plummy Yorkshire accent.

As soon as he followed me down the corridor I was thinking, 'Phwoar! Jon (my off boyfriend) who?'

Listen to me and expat. We are sane. TALK to the man fgs.

I have tried more conventional stuff, like match.com but me having 3 children is apparently off putting.

Put putting your email address on a lamp post isn't?

Yes, you were quite right. Was all very Lost in Translation, am impressed. Besides would think you were half-baked if he'd said 'are you off on your own' and you'd dashed in the for the hotel stationery and written him a quick note.

Okay! I really will speak to him.

Will 'hello' do?

I'm sorry I know it shouldn't be but this is just too funny

You know what 'hello' is absolutely perfect as an opener. Think of the next line though. I thought my snore boring one about the nursery was good.

shall I do race to get ready for school bed hair and slippers usual look or 'dress up' or would that look odd after all the unbrushed hair and lack of make up he is used to?

I did put on make up all the mornings I thought I might have an opportunity to fly post

Is it the doctor one?

Well, ahundred, I knew who he was, too. And he knew who my boyfriend was, we'd just never formally met. And he just happened to be coming out whilst I was. And, both of us being drinkers, well, it just all sort of fell into bed. I mean, place

I think it's fab actually and good for you, what have you got to lose? I assume if you did actually go out with him you would follow obvious safety guidelines and you can always change your email address. How dull would life be we didn't take any risks and it's not exactly dangerous is it? Am considering looking out for good looking chaps and trying it myself and am not surprised to hear that HMC already has... ( Hi HMC see you at 7pm!)

What are you going to do next?

Mascara, go for it. As long as you all really do understand I really am NOT mad or sad or infinitely grotesque and desperate then I can take the amusement this may provide even though I am personally quite serious!

I am taking your serious advice on board, I really am.

100, the nursery thing doesn't work because he isn't on the nuresery run, he's walking to work (and is resultantly fit of bod).
