I've met a lovely guy at work, we chat a lot when we can and I've dropped hints that I'm single and I've found out he is too...well today at end of my shift I just wrote my number down on some paper and gave it to him saying 'if you fancy a chat' and then bolted out of the door !! Shock

So now I'm waiting to see if:-

A) he doesn't text at all to which it will be so awkward on our next shift together; or

B) he messages and politely declines which will also be awkward but hey I can deal with it and move on; or

C) he tells me he feels the same and we live happily ever after

BTW I am 49 and so is he - although I know I'm acting like a teenager but I'm too damn impatient!!

Hmm

I've never done anything like this in my life ! I just got a feeling of 'you only live once' and went with it!

Poor guy is probably thinking I'm a man eater Confused

Well done! I know exactly how you feel.... Yesterday I messaged someone who is joining an activity I do, just for a few weeks. He leaves on Sunday so I have bitten the bullet. He has yet to reply and I will see him on Monday. I go completely tongue-tied around him and absolutely feel like a teenager again. Analysing every message, every pause, every interaction Confused

I've got everything crossed for you and for me!

Ooh good luck!!!!!

WatieKatie · 30/05/2021 10:56

Well done OP, that takes guts.

He may not want to appear too keen hence you haven’t heard. Or think you just wanted to chat!

Good luck.

Yes think you probably should have been clearer and said if you fancy meeting up/fancy going for a drink etc. If someone gave me their number in case I wanted to chat sometime I'd probs think they just wanted to be mates. Hope it works out for you though

Amdone123 · 30/05/2021 11:06

Am praying for C. You're right, op, you do only live once!

Dropdeadfred2 · 30/05/2021 11:12

Oooh good luck!! Hope you hear from him

Alternista · 30/05/2021 11:20

See I wouldn’t expect to hear from him straight off shift. I reckon I’d wait till this evening if I was him. Play it a little bit cool.

Keep busy today!!

StColumbofNavron · 30/05/2021 11:22

I’m just checking in for this. Good luck OP.

dottiedodah · 30/05/2021 11:28

Good luck OP ,nothing ventured and all that! Hopefully you will be back to tell us what happened .Keeping everything crossed for you! xx

KitNCaboodle · 30/05/2021 11:28
