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?

Hiya!

Not so good at the cover name, me.

I was running late as I'd forgotten to take ds's shoes out of the machine after he trashed them on a farm visit yesterday. Think I may have spent too long deliberating over whether to style hair or run out of the door in a mess.

went for latter and was still late.

So, I will better prepare myself for tomorrow.

Bit disappointed to have missed my opportunity!

Would it help if I told you my husband worked at HOSDB for 5 years (left in January this year). If I can work out who it is, I can pass on a message!

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 04/06/2007 13:25

Thank God he left in January Gursky..

This thread has made me giggle.. and wish you well NewLife. People are way to uptight sometimes!

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:27

Hyperventilates!

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:28

I absolutely do promise I would no more than I have if he turned out to be attached. I am mortified that he may be, as the note feels eurgh if so!

Well, he is black and always wears black socks!

Dogsby · 04/06/2007 13:29

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:29

Dogsby · 04/06/2007 13:30

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 04/06/2007 13:30

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:34

Dogsby · 04/06/2007 13:34

i haev no idea re other

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 04/06/2007 13:36

Oh don't listen to cod. Wouldn't MN, indeed the world, be a boring place if we ALL did everything her way!

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:39

I am used to Cod. Cod, I feel you represent highly rational societal members which is kind of helpful some of the time.

Hoping he is not one of them as we will be a mismatch.

charliecat · 04/06/2007 13:39

Aw cod, dont....this could be the beginning of something good

Will you invite the lamp post to the wedding? Or a least buy it a ribbon...

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:46

Where's Gursky gone?!

Gursky · 04/06/2007 13:52

Still here! I need to check something with husband (who is irritatingly having a lunch time meeting), but - and I hate to say it - I think he's taken

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 13:54

I will be relieved to know regardless! Thank you!

Gursky · 04/06/2007 14:52

Have checked my facts .... he is spoken for and has a baby under 1. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news .

But I think what you did was great - how brilliant to take a chance. Life would be very dull if we all met in night clubs.

Apparently the women at HOSDB rate him the best looking male on site - so you have excellent taste. There are also quite a few single men who work there, so keep on looking!

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 14:56

Aha! Maybe my note will have made him feel better about any post baby bleary eyedness then!

Glad my taste is intact. Shame I have not made any other good selections recently. Match.com is proving disappointing.

Harman, I am empathising greatly dear.

Gursky, you have saved me a heck of a lot of grief, thank you muchly.

(I do have some grief still though )

Onedaysoon · 04/06/2007 15:10

I've been watching this thread and now am v. sad that it looks like it's coming to an end . I was waiting with bated breath to have my faith in romance and happy ever after and sense of adventure restored. Is it definately the same man?

Gursky · 04/06/2007 15:22

I'm afraid it is the same man - not many people walk to work there (it is in the middle of fields) and I ocassionally used to give him a lift when dropping off DH.

Sorry Newlife. I'm sure you gave him a real confidence boost though.

Keep the faith in romance...

snowwonder · 04/06/2007 17:02

i think it is great that you took a chance, i have been single for 2 years and would never do something like that!!
good for you

newlifenewname · 04/06/2007 18:26

I am mourning.

Lord knows what the poor guy thought about how to respond.

Ho hum...

Thanks for the thumbs up, it helps with the sting of mortification.
