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 reminds me of the GEG thread.

Well done for being brave enough to make the first move OP.

I hope you manage a proper date soon and it's all goes well.

Sophie89101 · 04/07/2019 11:58

Thank you, my lovelies x

I'm trying not to get too carried away as it could well end up going no where. I'm just so glad I done something to make it happen! Even if it doesnt go anywhere at least I wont have a "what if?" troubling me.

I've been out of the dating sphere for so long it feels almost alien to me all this.

CursedDiamond · 04/07/2019 12:36

This thread is lovely. In amongst all the horridness of a zillion relationships crumbling into dust, it's really nice to see the early blossoming happiness. Keep up updated OP :)

Good luck OP!

Loving this!!! 😆

SpoonBlender · 04/07/2019 15:54

Yaay! Well done both of you for not being weird and embarrassed and fucking it up!

Al203 · 04/07/2019 16:57

You need to tease him for a bit longer.

When he turns up with the post tomorrow, be waiting for him leaning against the door frame, wearing a long black buttoned dress open far enough down the front to see the swell of your breasts, little droplets of sweat starting to run down that valley between them. Your feet bare, one knee bent with the sole of your foot casually pressed against the door frame, the early morning sun glinting off the jasmine as you say to him "Have you got a parcel you want to slide in my post box, big boy?"

Guaranteed to ensure he thinks of you and only you between now and next Tuesday.

Orangepear · 04/07/2019 17:34

So exciting!

daisyboocantoo · 04/07/2019 17:52

Stay classy @Al203

Hiphopopotamous · 04/07/2019 18:01

Genuinely so happy for you! Hope the date goes well next week!

itsalwaysunny · 04/07/2019 18:39

@Al203 erm...WHAT 
@Sophie89101 congrats this is like a modern day love story I'm so excited for you!! Thanks

DontCallMeShitley · 04/07/2019 18:39

Oh! My postie does boxing...

Wondering if you live near me....

Torridon19 · 04/07/2019 18:44

Remember - if you break up your parcels will be delivered accidentally to Carlisle...

Sophie89101 · 04/07/2019 19:56

@Robin2323 I have no reason to suspect he isn't, but I'll ask on Tuesday just to be 100%

@Al203... nah, don't think so lol

@DontCallMeShitley glad we cleared it up in pm. You had me worried for a bit there! Haha

...Aaanyway. we've messaged a few times today. I found out he has a lovely lab x. He sent me a pic of her. I've become something of a crazy dog lady, you see, in lieu of having an actual boyfriend, so I get really excited about stuff like that (yes I'm a loser haha).

I'm trying not to message him too much, though, as I'd like to have stuff to talk about next tue!
