D-Jam Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'd say walk over and strike up a conversation, or say good morning. Chat, make nice, see if he asks for a number or something. If you two take the same train, then get on the train and chat. If he doesn't try to get a number or anything, then move on. You gave him a rope, but he's gotta man up and climb it.

Author dcgirl33 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right! I like to show a man I'm really smart at first. Then once i've got him all signed up, all he'll ever see is my idiot. I find that they hang in there because they remember how intelligent I seemed at first and they keep waiting for that person to make another appearance. She's long gone by then.

You gave him a rope, but he's gotta man up and climb it. I agree with that, but not for tomorrow. He won't have to ask for my number tomorrow. I'll give him a week after I make myself clear. I agree that I can keep helping him. I'll give him this really big push and them he will have to climb the rope himself. This is the only way I can know if he is even capable of climbing the rope. It could be that he would need "HELP" all the time and I'm not with that. I like my men large and in charge. Link to post Share on other sites
2sunny Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 you are in your 40"s? your approach to this whole thing seems like high school. jeez, approach this like an adult and just say "good morning, nice to see you." for all you know - he is married and is just being pleasant because he sees you all the time. or maybe he's looking for an OW...

Good morning is what's been going on for 7 months. I've considered the fact that he may just be being nice, but often when I see him I am standing and talking to another woman who I typically see each morning. He mouths the word "Hello" directly to me. He doesn't acknowledge her and for that matter, as he was coming down he paltform, I watch him pass all of the usual faces and he only speaks to me. As for married, that is my only concern. I don't see a ring however. That's what I need the answer to. if he is married, then he is crazy inappropiate with his morning behavior.

IfWishesWereHorses Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 So next time he's following behind you drop a package or your bag, when he leans down to pick it up for you accidentally fall right on top of him. Don't get off until you have his card and a date! Link to post Share on other sites

Author dcgirl33 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm back and with good news. I saw him this morning and actually I missed 3 trains waiting on him. He did his smile and how are you this morning and kept walking thing and this time, I followed him down the platform. I stood right beside him and said in a low voice, "I know you may be a professional man of leisure with unlimitted wealth, but I have to WORK! And I can't just keep being late everyday waiting on you to come down here. Now either you can apply some kind of pattern or logic to your work schedule or you can just give me your number. As a matter of fact, GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER,NOW!" He was dying laughing all the while i was talking. He took out his subway transfer and wrote his number on it. When he handed it to me I snatched it and said "Expect a call from jane!" walked away. Comedy always win. thanks all. Link to post Share on other sites

The Collector Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Fantastic. You are one smooth operator. If I was him and found you attractive before, that approach would have doubled my interest. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Now, God help me when I call. The number is 726 exchange so I know it's a home number which means, he's not married. Yeepie! I don't know what the heck I will say. I used up all of my nerve this morning. I'm on a schedule, so I have to get a date for this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
IfWishesWereHorses Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Wow!!! If you had it in you I have to wonder how you waited 7 mo.s to do this! Have you done a reverse search on the number? Used that name to check out probate and property tax? Done a zoom or some similar search to find out who this man is, where he works, is he divorced, how long? Come on, inquiring minds want to know!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
rod_in_gtown Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yes! reverse search! What's the etiquette on background checks? Link to post Share on other sites
IfWishesWereHorses Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 My mom read Emily Post to me from the time I was born as a bed time story. I can't for the life of me remember any etiquette regarding background checks after you have DEMANDED a man's number! I am pretty sure that it said something about not speaking to a man until you had been introduced by someone formally! Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Wow!!! If you had it in you I have to wonder how you waited 7 mo.s to do this! Desperate times call for desperate measures! I can be aggressive when I HAVE to be. Sometimes, we women fall into the trap of waiting on you fellas to "do your work." Yes, I will be running him thru the internet today. I did get his address thur white pages.com He lives near me and thru recorder of deeds online, I know his name is the only name listed on the deed. I don't have many questions about how or why he's single based on how he didn't do so well with me. Ha! Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 I don't need the background check because I noticed his DOD bagde. I can't think of what Federal buildings are at L'Enfant Plaza. He could not have gotten that badge or gotten it renewed each year with a criminal record. I know because I have one too.

rod_in_gtown Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He could be a DoD contractor. and there are a bunch of sub agencies in the L'Enfant complex. But yeah, he's probably ok. Link to post Share on other sites
