The only time I would see him would be once a year at renewal time.

...Oh well I'm not holding my breath.  

I'm a sucker for the cute story of how people meet, but I am a realist so this cute scenario most likely won't blossom into something more.

Ah, gotcha! Well, then, gloves are off!

Hi Mel. Go for it, but make him make the move. Put out your signals, but make him approach. That's my opinion.

What do you do, if you don't mind my asking? Sounds like a meeting that I would have had with my clients in the commercial lending days.

Insurance.

Going over financial forecasts and the need for additional coverages or higher limits when such goals are met.

I would shoot him a very simple email that said something to the effect of "If you would like to ask me out for {insert- coffee, a drink, lunch, mud wrestling}, I can think of no reason to refuse".

He then takes the bait or he's not interested. I doubt he is a game player given his line of work and there is less chance of embarrassment if there aren't a bunch of other people involved. I would like that approach, it's how I met my DW.

Contractor....but what if I suggest talking porfolio projections??

Just joking!

I am so shy it is pathetic even though my coworkers joke that I could be his new "old" 28 year old trophy wife.....

However.... we have a Tail Gate party coming up so I am going to try and jump in there.

I suggest sending a note along the following lines:

Do you like me? Check a box  ___ yes  ___ no

Sorry - I have a daughter in middle school.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the possibilities here. I met my husband online playing Euchre and he's from New Zealand.

Yes I do believe in Santa.

Ah, yes, I'd always heard that those online euchre sites were notorious!

New Zealand, huh? North Island or South?
