UPS Crush: So I've been crushing on the UPS guy that delivers to my work for longer than I'd like to admit. It literally took me months to get my act together to see if he was wearing a wedding ring because I get so flustered when he comes in. He only delivers about once a week, sometimes less so that's partly why it's taken me so long to work up the courage to even say anything other than hi to him. Anyways, I psyched myself up that TODAY WAS THE DAY! We've been getting more packages because the company owners use the office for their personal deliveries and it's holiday season. I have my name and cell written down on the back of a business card and I'm ready to go. I even wore a fricking dress!
Guess what? He delivered.....while my boss was in my office so I didn't get a chance to say anything to him! Grrrrrrrr! So now I wait again. It's SO out of my comfort zone to ask someone out, especially since I'll still be seeing him if he says no. I just want to get it over with but it looks like I'll have to wait longer.

I would be very flattered if you came up and wanted to talk to me and gave me your card with your number on it. If you seemed nervous I would understand and probably think it was kind of cute. Most people would be understanding about your nervousness, and if he's not, he's probably not the kind of guy you want to spend much time with anyway. His loss if he's that way.

Thank you! I’m not very confident and really not assertive. At this point I don’t even care what his response is, I just want to prove to myself I can do it!
@Marcie1974 Go for it, let us know how it goes! I know how you feel, I've frozen with the worry that a woman will say no. I would say yes you, You're beautiful and have a good sense of humor.
This is clearly a letter that should have been sent to "Dear Abby" or "Ann Landers." If all my problems fell into this level of challenge or difficulty, my life would indeed be nothing more than a stroll through the park.

Ouch, thanks for that constructive comment
Really?! That was unnecessary.
@Marcie1974
So! @Marcie1974 ! What's happened!!! We need a status update here!
And ignore @EduardoVallejo. As an Elder here, I classify him as an arrogant cad.
We're cheering for you!!!!
@bigpawbullets today was my first day back but no UPS deliveries....fingers crossed for tomorrow since I have Friday off
Did you try the bend and snap? ? good luck!

I had to 'google' that.
MANY decades ago, following a divorce which was pretty traumatic. A very attractive single woman in our office did that in front of me. Even at 35 years old, I almost had a heart attack.
Thank you for this reference...all I could think when I first started reading this was of "Legally Blonde." I totally forgot about the bend and snap.
Marcie, if you try the bend and snap, don't break his nose like in the movie. I hope he comes again soon and keep us updated!
My only advice is not to wait too long. Seize your moment!

Ask him. The embarrassment of getting the wrong answer will be shorter-lived than the regret of never asking.

There's some hot UPS guys roaming around here too.
Give it a go when you get the chance - what's the worst that can happen ? Guys go through this sort of possible rejection all the time. DO it.

I’m going to turn 50 shades of red with embarrassment. I’m just not assertive or confident with stuff like this. That’s why I was so mad my boss was in my office today, I’d been giving myself a pep talk all morning and I was ready!
@Marcie1974 You see ? If that's the worst, you'll survive just fine. And if you're successful - you'll be all happy you did it !
@Marcie1974 I'm not assertive or confident with this stuff either. I hope you can do this soon, and get it over with. I've been there. Good luck!
Rare for a girl to ask a guy out. I like it. YOLO. Good luck!

Rare??
Yeah, it’s only taken 9 months and I haven’t actually done it yet lol
@Donotbelieve wow. Well I guess that says a lot about my life. Lol. Sorry for the ignorant comment
@Donotbelieve they are actually my type. Where to find them. I have no idea
@Donotbelieve also I love assertive women because they know what they want. No guessing games. Lol
@Donotbelieve agreed
@Donotbelieve thanks for the encouragement. I hear girls from up north are more aggressive. Too bad I don't like the cold.
@Donotbelieve thanks for the correction. Lol
@Donotbelieve I'll never be mad when I'm wrong. Lol. I think it's more of the culture. Many women in the south are submissive because of religious values which are less prevalent in the north. Just my opinion. If Florida was like the northern states or Miami. I would meet like minded people much faster.
@Donotbelieve I know you were kidding. I was stationed in Alaska for 3 years. Well I wanted to do was play video games and have sex. Lol. Its hard to shake religion off. Many font understand what it takes to break free. I was Baptist
@Marcie1974 You're overdue! The 9 months of anticipation only make it more difficult as time stretches on... (i.e., makes it more difficult thru time..)
Approach him - ask him out for a cup of coffee sometime. See what he says. Your smile should be a good opener. If he smiles at you... you can then say... "... are you single?"
Good luck! It's time!
