I'm Being "Quiet"?!?! Me?! *FedEx Guy Story*

boy, you woman make me laugh. If you want a man you have to show it..what's this with the silent signals women give to men and THINK that they understand..THEY DON'T! lollllllllMen hate it when they are expected to understand. Your being quiet doesn't mean to him at all that you are attracted to him and if HE WAS INTO YOU..he would ask you out already or show he is interested because when a man is interested he shows it.You want him? show him you are otherwise how is he going to know..being quiet is not way of showing you want him and for heaven's sake push yourself on him before someone else grabs him who isn't afraid to show her feelings!So he gave you a hug..probably a very just friendly hug..right? Well, then he's not into you girl because if he did, his hug would have been a little more tighter.. If I want a man, I show it, I don't wait until he guesses and you are wasting time having feelings for a guy..not knowing if he has any for you. I don't know why either that you got embarassed if you want him to get to notice you. Besides your being quiet sent the wrong signals..trust me, I have the experience. Your being quiet didn't make him not like it..it's just you were not the usual person you are usually so that is why he noticed. If you want him to notice..start by showing you are interested in him because all you will get is a friendly bear hug.

You shouldn't be embarrassed about this, it's working and you guys are being really cute with each other! I understand the feeling though, especially in something like this. When you are 99% sure a guy is into you, but you haven't gotten that official physical or verbal stamp mark of something screaming "I really like you!" it's really hard not to be embarrassed and feel like you're out of your realm of comfort when interacting with him. I say keep up what you're doing! Eventually the embarrassment won't happen anymore. It looks like everything's running on the right track! Who knows, maybe soon it won't be just a hug that you're getting from him!!

Why don't you just ask him to have lunch with you? He obviously likes you in some way or he wouldn't have hugged you. That co-worker is a pig! I just read your homepage. I've struggled with weight issues, too. I lost 65 pounds a few years ago but put back 20 of them in this last year. I lost 3 pounds last week, going back to the plan I used to lose all that weight. The secret is not deprivation but portion control! Eat anything you want but stick to the portion size then cut it in half. I would measure/count out snacks into baggies so they were handy when I got hungry and I wouldn't just grab anything--that's how I put on the pounds in the first place! Taking care of children is wonderful, isn't it? But it can really run you down because you just grab anything to tide you over till the next meal. Having those snack bags helped me a lot. Now that I'm single, I spend part of the day on a weekend cooking ahead and portioning out individual servings for the fridge or freezer. No weekday cooking-or very little-and no chance of overeating! Your kids can help you, you can all have fun together planning the menus and cooking. Ask that guy out to lunch!

I am sure there has been many occasions where I have been embarrassed, can't think of any off the top of my head right now though. I think your approach may work. Now you know that he is noticing, and enjoys the friendly flirting as well. Who knows, he may think you are not as interested anymore and take the plunge and ask you out.

Hey singlemommy! You go girl! Whatever! It's working! I do think that he likes you so whatever you are doing, keep doing it! Sometimes playing "hard to get" or "shy or quiet" or just acting a bit differently does get their attention and as you can see it did the trick! You got him to give you a hug! So now let's see what happens next time! That's a good start at least! I had a mad crush on a bus driver~one day after he dropped off the people at the last stop on the line he told me to "sit down"! I didn't know what to think because this guy was kind of moody and cranky sometimes! I had known him for years but we had been talking for awhile and I knew he kind of liked me too! Well, he pulled into the parking lot of Bloomingdales (that's where his last dropoff was and where I got off to go across the street to the building I was working in then and he got up from his seat, had me walk to the middled of the bus (where no one could see us) and kissed me! Yup! Unfortunately, we never did end up going out because he was too scared~long story! I think you'll have better luck then I did!

I just hope that u will have what u want. I know the feeling to be in love with somebody. Best wishes for u.

OK hugs from me too…for making me feel like a schoolgirl all over again and reminding me of times when I was younger and falling in and out of love everyday! Yes, yes, yes…its working and I’m sure he could feel you embarrassment and the reasons for it (he cant be so naïve himself)…this is unfolding pretty cool…do keep us updated (and hey…what’s those all-knowing colleagues of yours doing…cant they pitch in more than just passing comments…you know…try and fix up something)

I get embarrassed when people gather together to honour me for something, be it an accomplish or even just my birthday which just happens to be friday.

Iknow I've bee embarrased a number of times. I can't remember the particulars about them. Now you know that the FedEx man has noticed you.

I hope it works!!! Woo Hoo...remember the commercial that used to be out about finding her man who was a fed ex ( or ups) man? Good luck...and yes today a coworker said something...NOT EVEN ME! and I was embarassed by what he said...he was corrected by the boss and I even blushed!

I am one of those people who is easily embarrassed, so I know what you mean. Glad to hear that the silent approach is paying off. I actually got your notifications tonight. I will have to check out your other Fed Ex guy stories.

Ah what a sweet story. It reminds me of how I met my college boyfriend. A over talkative co-worker told a cute delivery guy that I'd broken up with my boyfriend. That same co-worker also mentioned that I'd thought pretty highly of that certain delivery guy... we dated pretty seriously for maybe a year or more. Good times. I hope it works out the same for you... only I hope your delivery guy is as good as he seems to be... mine was a real jerk in the end.

Seems to me you are reeling him him good luck with it.Next time just look at him and see what he does and how he reacts you got embarrassed because you fancy him.It sounds like he fancies you as well.Call him Mr cuddles and see what happens.

that was a very nice story, it's ok i know how you feel haha it just seems to be a reflex when i get embarrassed that i don't think of what i did and later realize why i did that and looked like a fool! ah life haha

Maybe he is a shy person when it comes to dating. I have a friend that is that way. He is really a great guy to hang out with and is usually the life of the party. But is really quiet when it comes to asking a girl out, even if it is someone he knows.

I do get embarrassed sometimes but I try to get over it most of the times. It's pretty normal since you like the guy. It is nice that your tactic worked, I'd say it is very effective. I'm glad to hear that you got the hug but I'm rooting for you to get that date. Well wishes.

Perhaps next time you should say "If a girl was to get asked out on a date!" I really hope this all works out for you! It's better than watching the soaps on t.v! Looking forward to the next installment!

Hi singlemommy, Well at least you got a hug form Mr. FedEx, who knows what will happen next, I want to "watch this space" I would be embarrassed too if that happened to me. The only time I got embarressed is when I caught my skirt tucked into my knicker once. Tamara

Looks like you just learned a basic rule about the game between men and women. Let him do the hunting and you do the hiding. The result will be that when you let him catch you he will feel he'e won a great treasure. And yes I would have be embarrassed I'd have found a desk to crawl under.

Well I want to know how the hug was lol
