Jenny123 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 :bunny:Hi guys, I've moved back to a place where I was born and spent first few years of my life. Anyhowz I broke up with my ex nearly four months but was falling apart for a long time before. I have a neighbour my age, single and I really like him- I know of him by reputation as a good guy:) When he drives past he looks in, waves and smiles, I walk my pooches a few times a week and only wave! I feel he likes me and I feel the same. I dont want to make the first move as I am old-fashioned. How can I get this off the ground??? I'm 30 and I know this sounds juvenile but I am quite shy with him and i'm generally a very confident person! Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Surrealist Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Well if that is you in your avatar then I can see why "When he drives past he looks in, waves and smiles" clearly this guy has good taste. I think you just need to continue to show interest and maybe somehow create a situation that will give him the perfect opportunity to approach you. If he screws the opportunity up, then you might need to do it again. Sometimes, some of us guys are a bit slow with realising opportunities so try not to be put out if he stumbles.

Green_eyes Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I would say make the first move - this is the 21st Century! However, if you are really uncomfortable with this, then get yourself into a situation where you can let him make the first move. Pop round and ask him if you can borrow a cup of sugar. (Yes, I know it's cheesy - but it might just work!) Just to reiterate what previous posters have said. Sometimes "subtle" means jumping up and down and waving a red flag where men are concerned - i.e. about as subtle as a brick Link to post Share on other sites
Author Jenny123 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 :bunny:Thanks guys, Think I'll try & overome my shyness & initiate conversation! That is as 21st century as I go-lol!

Green_eyes Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sounds like a good plan to me - fingers crossed! By the way, love/crushes/relationships make most of us act like teenagers. It is just one of those unwritten rules. Link to post Share on other sites
