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?

Oh, no, noddy! The surgeon guy was ALSO when I went to Chamonix with Jon, my twat ex. Again, he ran off to climb the Dru with his jerk-off friend and his psycho ex girlfriend who once almost killed a man by grabbing the wheel of the car he was driving during a row and running the car off the road.

So then I was stuck in Chamonix and I heard someone calling my name. Turned around, and there were hot surgeon!

With no wife! Or kids!

Bonus!

The place was a ho's paradise. Which was good, cuz I am a ho!

Expat is lost in hotel reverie. Please concentrate on the mystery man outside the nursery Expat. We've got as far as 'hello' now we're thinking of a humdinger of a second line.

expatinscotland · 01/06/2007 16:11

This other guy was in Paris.

Now, when I smell Paris perfume, I think of him. Mmmm.

expatinscotland · 01/06/2007 16:11

Hello, my name is Saddo.

That's all you need to say.

My name is Gladiator.

ahundredtimes · 01/06/2007 16:12

Oh god sorry lamp - didn't realize that you had absolutely nothing in common. Okay, I think we need a mystery problem. Your car? Not starting? Or something like that? Or go right in with a 'Do you think it'll rain today?' or even a 'do you know who's responsible for fly posting in this area?'

expatinscotland · 01/06/2007 16:12

How about, 'You're hot. Wanna fuck?'

lampostposter · 01/06/2007 16:13

Was thinking of wearing what I'm in today which is kind of smart casual but might be a bit tits out??

Will add to profile temporarily...

No, I think she should keep that for the letter writing part of their courtship.
Uhmmmm, can you tell me where the nearest shop/garage/hairdressers is?

expatinscotland · 01/06/2007 16:13

Get the tits out!

Yeah!

ahundredtimes · 01/06/2007 16:14

lamp - what you wear is important, but am concerned about your priorities. Are you just going to say 'hello'? Okay could work. Puts the pressure on him I suppose.

handlemecarefully · 01/06/2007 16:16

Lamp post poster - the guy in gym grinned and looked at me appraisingly. I lost my bottle and stopped going to the gym . I'm sure you'll be brave though!

Did it not surprise you then Arwen? Incidentally I thought that your MIL was quite pleasant today.

expatinscotland · 01/06/2007 16:17

See, that's why 'Hello, my name is ' or 'Hi, I'm (insert name)' is so much less embarrassing. No pressure, just 'hello'.

arwen · 01/06/2007 16:18

She was wasn't she , ran out of the door at 3.05 though, 'to miss the traffic'. Shoot me if I ever become so un spontaneous (is that a word?) sorry Hijack over.
How do we see your profile lamppost?

ahundredtimes · 01/06/2007 16:18

lamp, do you think you can remember this. It's tits out outfit and 'hello'.

MascaraOHara · 01/06/2007 16:21

Lol at Expats

"get yer tits out"

"yeah!"

made me think of the phones 4 u advert

lampostposter · 01/06/2007 16:33

Ok, pic is under my name. Have sundress as alternative or other top plus jeans again.

Tits too much or not enough expat?

I may have to go and post more soberly (as in serious not as in un-pissed up) this afternoon - I feel overly self indulgent but advice is much needed. Aagh!

So Hello and my name or do I go for some kind of interest ascertaining question?

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 01/06/2007 16:34

That top is fine!

Hello and your name. Then stop.

Wait for him to respond and go from there.

Mumpbump · 01/06/2007 16:35

Just make sure you have got a follow-on line sorted out in advance. Don't go and introduce yourself without knowing what you're going to say. Ask an open question that might start a conversation and have a couple of back-up ones in mind in case it doesn't go anywhere...

arwen · 01/06/2007 16:50

You look great! wear the top and think hard about what you will say after your name? Are you going to ask him straight out for a drink? Guess you have to unless you are going to spend time chatting on the pavement about the weather.

lampostposter · 01/06/2007 16:55

Thanks. And thanks Arwen! I just don't know if I am brave enough to actually ask about a date...

I might do what Expat suggests and stick with an intro leaving the ball in his court but again, silence is hard and am I brave enough?!

2nd line could be: 'you waved...' grin
'did you get my note?'
??

OP posts:
arwen · 01/06/2007 17:05

But if he says yes I did what will you say next? Good luck!

handlemecarefully · 01/06/2007 17:05

I like the top too, jeans are good. Cardy thing is fine but top would be saucier without it

donna123 · 01/06/2007 17:53

You "Excuse me, I'm looking for HOSDB. Do you know where it is?"
Him "Yes, I work there. Shall I show you where it is?"
You "Really, what an amazing coincidence! I'm thinking of getting a job there and was trying to get some background information. Could you tell me something about it, perhaps over coffee....."
