I’m 28F he’s 30M. We work at a school but we do not work directly together. We see each other in passing only two times.
I set up this plan so we could have a reason to interact. Also to give him an easy out to either reject me or to initiate private contact. My plan was to approach him during PE he walks by me while students are out and create this fake reason as to why I need to talk to him.
I was going to walk up boldly and say hey Jake? are you a special education coach or PE teacher? (He’s a special Ed teacher) once he answers I’ll say oh do you know of any summer positions for the special Ed classes? Do they have summer activities for them that I can help with? Once he answers which I predict will be a brief I’m not sure and short explanation of his duties I’ll say Aw okay well if you hear of anything or know of an open position for the summer can you please let me know? This is where the ball is in his court and he may be oblivious but he can either say oh okay sure I’ll let you know and that’s his opening to exchange numbers or he can just say sure I’ll keep a look out and go about his day.
Sadly my plans failed bc the path he normally takes that crosses paths with me he didn’t take today bc we had a school assembly so his teaching schedule probably changed as well. I’m super disappointed bc I want it to be before The Weeknd but I guess I’ll have another opportunity next week. So far do you think it’s a good plan? What do you think?
MONDAY UPDATE:
So I came prepared to talk to Jake more and eventually ask him out today but as fate would have it the man never showed up for work! So now I’m just waiting until tomorrow I just hope he didn’t move departments or is severely sick.
