    OK, I'm single, normal, 35, you know - grown adult. So what is the story, been single now for over a year and recently started looking again, ( disappointment most of the time) . Thing is last Friday I went out and met a guy, a really nice guy, through colleagues and he seemed lovely. We spent the night chatting and got on really well, so much so, that we made arrangements for the next day. we spent the day together and had a really good time and its not all in my mind, nor am i being scarcastic. We have everything in common and didnt stop laughing the whole time. My friend met us and sat with us for a while and even she said afterwards - well when are you two getting married! ( and she is overly honest to be truthful) . Anyhoo When we were leaving he asked from my number, which i gave him and he said great, little kiss and we both went home. Now I know he has his own business, as do I and that its a really busy time for us, but when is he supposed to call? Is it too late already? and am i just hoping and being stupid. Now I do have his number, but really i'm from old school, and should he not call ( he is 40 he is old school too!) , or would I chance sending a text, and if so what the hell do i say.... good god! Go on - some man give me advice.... PLEASE

    :rolleyes:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Call him and stop being ridiculous. Maybe he's just as nervous as you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 rebelcork


    Well Molly, get with it!Text him,ask him for a drink,meal or whatever.Faint heart never got anywhere.Have a go, live a lttle, if he turns you down move on and try again.Life is for living...!:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Fresh Pots


    text him, see if he wants to go out again this weekend, whats the worst that could happen!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,608 ✭✭✭Spud83


    Agreed. Maybe he is as nervous as you. Give him a text or call saying you had really good time the other day and can we do it again some time. Simple, he will either tell you yes, no, or not write back. If he says yes then great, no well at least you know, if he doesn't get back to you. Then put down as a good experience and a fun day and go about finding the next one.

    I dont mean to be ridiculous. honestly. but dont know what to say. I have been in a relationship for 10 years and am just out of it.... I wouldnt know what to say! Maybe later something like - had a great time saturday, thanks - and see what he says. Jesus, i sound pathetic


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I know its frustrating and you dont want to be seen as a bunny boiling stalker. But hes probably either up to his oxters in work, or sitting there going 'why doesnt she text me...':)

    Your 35, not 15. Be brave, text him! :D Even if its only a joke to break the ice. Or better still, call him, say hi, and ask if he would like to go with you to *insert event here*. Youll know from his enthusiasm or lack of it where you stand with him then.

    unbelieveable, you know I think my luck is changing. the office door just opened and a huge bouquet of flowers were delivered from him. Well it seems my friends, my luck is changing. :D

    I hope you have rang him to thank him!..and ask him out..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    He is old enough to pick up the phone to you. Do not contact him. He asked for your number and if he does not have the manners to call you after that he is not worth chasing......

    Had flowers delivered to a lady that worked in Quinnsworth as a way of breaking the ice. Flowers delivered at 8.30pm (busiest time) to her on a checkout and was announced over the intercom by the assistant store manager. She thumped me when next she saw me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,771 ✭✭✭✭fits


    This thread made me smile :)

    Good luck!

    Sometimes thumping can be taken as a sign of affection.:D

    Thats what you call breaking the ice with a 20lb lumphammer!

    Well I did call him and he didnt answer but did call back this morning and apologised, he was in a meeting. I did say thank you, especially as he described how
    he had to go to 3 different florists to get the ones I like, he also described how difficult i was being by liking a certain colour and he just had to find them for me!!. So yes I am very happy and I am meeting him over the weekend. Hey guys - i'm a girl who is happy.. mark it down!
