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 like one of those episodes of Blind Date where you just know they’re going to get married.

poopypants · 04/07/2019 21:38

So nice and normal sounding. No weird dramas or pretending so far. Good luck!

That’s brilliant that’s the best laugh out loud I’ve done in a while! 😂😂👍👍👍

Mummyto2munchkins · 04/07/2019 22:15

The question is OP... Are you still going to continue ordering things so he can come?
He maybe slightly suspicious of your lack of ordering now! X

Wormentrude · 04/07/2019 22:17

Love the juxtaposition of @SpoonBlender and @Al203's posts!

OP, you do realise that you will have to update forever, now? I have no romance in my life (no offence to my DH, who is lovely, but it's true) so I need to experience it vicariously. Through you.

Lazysundays18 · 04/07/2019 22:40

Lobe this! How it goes well 👍🏼

SpoonBlender · 04/07/2019 22:40

Hahaha! I nearly went for that sort of thing, but then I thought of the Monty Python milkman sketch

Lazysundays18 · 04/07/2019 22:40

Typos!! 🤣 Love this! Hope it goes well 👍🏼

PepsiLola · 04/07/2019 22:43

This is lovely ❤️ I bet you're glad you got there courage to speak to him!

NoSauce · 05/07/2019 09:25

Al203 love it Wink

How did he get into your lounge without you seeing him?

Sophie89101 · 05/07/2019 10:38

@Mummyto2munchkins tbh I haven't been seeing him that often recently, so i don't think he'd notice. Probably why I felt like I needed to make a move in case he was moved to a different round entirely!

@Wormentrude haha I know! I never expected this thread to go anywhere, but then I never expected him to leave his number! I'll do my best to keep you updated haha

@NoSauce I invited him into lounge as I made drinks
