Ok, this is going to get complicated but I will try my best to simplify it!
Firstly, for those of you lucky enough never to have become embroiled in the world of internet dating sites, you need to know that most sites allow you to join for free, what they don't allow you to do is then make more than one contact with anyone without parting with cold hard cash and there is nothing vagualy soft, squishy or romantic about dating sites, including their prices!
So....a week or two ago I was contacted by a guy I kind of liked the look of, I responded but then nothing. One is then left wondering if it's lack of interest or lack of payment but I noticed his profile said he worked in the area I deliver to each day. I contacted him again asking if he could be more specific...but again nothing and I forgot about it.
Now, about a week ago and completely unrelated, I was at work and delivering to a company when I saw a guy who I also kind of liked the look of.... but at work I look like I have just fallen out of bed (because I usually have at that hour) and so rather than trying to appear interested I do my best to fade into the background.
Today, at the same company I was serving the same guy, as I have most days over the last week or two, when inexplicably I felt a strange familiarity but dismissed it.
You know what's coming don't you?
Anyway, he left and I carried on serving customers but as I was about to drive away he came back out to my van, looked at me and said, 'you are who I think you are aren't you'? He handed me his business card, having written his personal email address on the back, asked me to mail him and vanished back into the building, leaving me red faced and very amused!
How I hadn't put two and two together sooner or recognised him I don't know but it was of course the guy from the dating site. Spooky!
Dammit, why today, when having been called at the crack of dawn by my boss asking me to get to work asap to cover someones sudden sickness, I had not so much as dragged a brush through my hair in my hurry to get to work withing twenty minutes, let alone considered what to wear or put make-up on!
Anyway, I mailed him early this evening and got a reply quickly.
I shall keep you informed..... ;)

Oh wow, that's fab.
Not fab that you feel you were looking less that super, but fab that he came back to you, gave you his email addy and that you've already had a quick reply.
I'm giddy with excitement for you.
Pawpads: The 'quick reply' has escalated already to an email conversation ;)
Oooh, that sounds promising. See, out of nowhere, when you least expect it, didn't I say that to you recently?
Great post, I pictured the whole thing in my mind.
Gary: You did indeed :) Promising? We will see, you know me, chickens and eggs! heh ;)
Oh, how exciting! It's just like a film. ;)Hope it continues to go well.
see? I said something would happen at work, didn't I? Trust aunty!
eek, so exciting and cute :)
If he approached you, while you apparently looked like you been through a hedge backwards...he must have seen something:)....Good Luck x
Thanks guys.....quick update, as of today, Sunday, all is still going well and contact is frequent and sustained! :)
yes, on April 18th, almost exactly two months ago, that's spooky. Hope it progresses nicely. I think love is a channel you must always leave open, like a microphone, pretty soon you'll either get feedback or beautiful music, never silence.
