I fancy the postie!

Hello!

So I'm new to mumsnet. Long time lurker. I'm a 30yo single mum with two daughters.

I'll get straight to it. I order quite a lot of things online so the postie knocks on my door quite often. It's only been recently however that we started talking. Nothing much, just a bit of small talk and maybe light flirting? Hard to tell!

Today was lovely. He knocked this morning and as I answered my little yorkie ran out and he ran after her, picked her up and brought her back. Seems silly but a little gesture like that really meant a lot!

Anyway, I'm hopeless at taking initiative with these sorts of things. I have no idea if he's single and don't really know how to go about finding out?

Thank you!

This is a lovely thread. Any updates?

Sophie89101 · 10/07/2019 16:20

I truly can't believe the reaction to this. Really thank you all so much :)

Yes we've been texting and meeting up again this Sunday. He wants to take me out to dinner. My ex (my daughters' father) will be having the girls that day so it works out great.

I'm trying so hard not to get carried away with this though. It's so totally out of the blue and happening so quickly. Never in a million years did I expect him to leave his number! I guess he'd been reading the signals for a while and just went for it. You're all saying how brave I am but it's him that really made the move! I could never have left my number like that. I'm so glad he did though

Oh my word I'm reading this with a huge smile on my face!! Clearly far too invested in this but it's just so lovely!!
You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats his mum.
You know what they say @Sophie89101 -good things happen to good people!! Have a great time on Sunday xx

Loving this story, it’s so nice to see something happy. Will keep reading to find out more!
I have been addicted to mumsnet
the last couple of weeks reading people’s threads about whether to stay with their husband or not and what happens after they split, then I came across this and it made me smile!
