It's Now or Never. Looks like never....

I felt it was time to bite the bullet at Lidl....

My first stumble block; he wasn't there. Always a problem. So, deflated, I went to the next available till and sulked. Just as it was almost my turn, guess who appeared and opened up the next till....? Yep, you guessed it. Damn!!! Now it'd look weird if I suddenly picked up my stuff and changed tills, so I had to stay where I was. I kept glancing up at him and trying to think up how I could find an excuse to talk, ideas whirring around in my head. I could pick up a pear from the conveyor belt and throw it to him..."Whoops, sorry, I picked it up to make sure it was fresh and it slipped out of my hand". No. Wouldn't work. I'm pretty sure it'd be impossible to make it "slip" that far away. Then a group of young lads loaded up at his till. I definitely can't say anything now whilst they're there, I'd embarrass us both. If they hadn't had been there I could very well have just walked over to him and said my piece. As I walked past him my stomach flipped and I could feel my face burning up. Definitely can't speak to him now, I was wearing red jeans yesterday and it doesn't look very cool to have the same colour face as your jeans (although I do feel more comfortable when I'm colour coordinated).

So here I am, very aware of the fact that he's clocked me in Lidl at least 3 times already this week and if I go in again today I could be looking at a restraining order; never a good way to start a relationship. The good news however, is that I found out a friend of mine knows him and confirms that he is not married, nor is he a weirdo. Phew! I now have a cunning plan, involving my friend - and one last shop to Lidl. Hopefully. After all, you can only do with so many bags of caster sugar, flour, jars of jam, etc.....
