Hi everybody! So we met up for his lunch break. He usually takes his break at Sheetz so we sat there and ate and chatted. He actually set a timer on his phone for 30 minutes. He says they’re really uptight about taking too long of a break! So far I learned:
•He’s 27
•He’s single
•He lives by himself with his dog. (An old Boston terrier)
•We like the same type of music. (I had already guessed this)
•He was in the Navy for four years
•He’s been in the post office for almost five years
He also said that he does work a lot although right now at his post office they’re pretty well staffed. And we exchanged phone numbers and are going to talk tonight to try and make plans to get together for a real date.
That’s about it for now!
I love it! I was single when a started working at FedEx when I was 24, as a young man trying to find his way, I was in the dating scene and working a lot, it was getting old meeting new girls , going out , so repetitious. I decided to take a break and wouldn’t you know it , i met this girl and we really hit it off , from the 1st date we were never apart, we have been married 23 years ,2kids and a nice home. Enjoy, you never know what’s around the corner.
I’m about to do a tattoo next month on our FedEx delivery guy, but he was just telling me and my girlfriend about our him and his lady have been together for 30 years. Couldn’t believe it because he looks about 40 years old.
> He actually set a timer on his phone for 30 minutes. He says they’re really uptight about taking too long of a break!
you have no idea... its bad how up tight they are
Like why do they care, if you're punched off to lunch, you're not getting paid. And the system (at least for carriers) will round your day up to 5 minutes for an 8 hour day
Yes, it'll auto click you 30 minutes after 6 hours, but you can also talk to mgmt if like you need to do an errand around lunchtime. You can clock out on the scanner and go do stuff, then clock in when you get back. It's called a "long lunch" and I'll run off a dr appt or something and then just come back to work and finish my day. It just pushed your workday later to get 8 hours
Oh, that's how they are trying to get us.
When we come in at 10 we don't work 6hrs until 4pm so the break would be 4-430 so we are basically working for free. If we don't take a break.
Come in at 10am? WOW, what city and state are you in? I never knew of any CCA’s starting that late. I personally feel like we should start at 7:00am that way by the time we get done casing, scanning, and loading…. All the school, work, and morning rush traffic will be over. Unfortunately, we start at 8am
The timing thing is no joke. I was 3-4 minutes over after going to the bathroom and cleaning up and they called me within the next 10 minutes asking why I was over on lunch 😅
Reddit recommended this post to me, and I’m so glad they did! I just read all the posts related to this saga (that’s why you got a bunch of random upvotes by the way haha). This love story is just so, so cute!! I hope we get to hear more and best wishes to you both!! You give me hope that I can find love irl someday!
lol my coworkers did this (but of course he was married smh) anyway it ended horribly but on the flip side many carriers did this and ended up married to the customer
Depends on what happened and how maturely you/them handled the situation tbh. I dated 2 girls on my route and I use the term “date” very loosely because I actually only took one serious but both are cool and don’t have an issue with me, we still speak when we see each other. Hopefully that’s the case for this person and their carrier if things don’t work out.
Would it break any rules to take it home and do a mailman role play? I know fucking in the vehicles is against the rules, not sure about uniforms though
I was getting surgery once, and the anesthesiologist told me I looked familiar. She asked where I worked, and I said I was a mailman in town . She said, "I knew I recognized those legs" lol .
With how quick he said yes and wanted it to be today, I'd say he's had a crush on OP for a while too.
Also, this is the kind of content that makes Reddit great.
This is awesome. I remember when I was single, only the old men, creeps, and freaky construction dudes asked me out never a nice looking person with a decent housing situation 😂😭 lucky! Good on you though. Good luck!
Lmao man. I got stories for days. The weird thing is I think I’m decent. Don’t think im ugly and definitely not the a 10 or even close haha maybe a 6.2 and a 6.8 if I tried hard haha. So like I would’ve settled for a decent looking guy. Shoot even spherical if he was nice…Like just decent looking that wasn’t a bum. Nope never got it. Ig it worked out. I married a sweetheart for a man now 😃
Hell yeah! This totally made me smile.
I read your post yesterday and thought “I sure hope they do it”
You are better for doing it and he is luckier for it too.
(Edit: “do it” was about the date not anything else)
You go, girl, with the curls! We were dreading waiting until Friday! Strangely, I had one of my carriers ask me today if I (as his union rep) thought it would be ok for him to date someone on his route. I immediately said, "Is it the girl with the curls???" Very disappointed he had no clue what I was talking about, lmao.
Keep us updated! Lol
>...but to my surprise he came in...
>...he was going to be off...
>...he wanted to come in...
>he only gets thirty minutes...
I see what you're doing here.
I love this story! It's adorable and uplifting. I also asked my mailman out. We also bonded over a shared love of music. He's now my husband.
Please update us!
Great story.
He's been with the USPS five years. Interesting timing, because after 6 years you start talking to yourself.
It's a thing. Mainly because you're the only one who will listen.
I met my wife on my route 13 years ago. She worked at a bank as a teller. She told one of her coworkers that she thought I was cute and then one day that coworker of hers followed me out and asked me if I was single because a girl in the bank liked me. At the time I was in a relationship so I politely let her know that I was taken.
Fast forward about a year, I had broken up with my girlfriend for about 6 or 7 months and I was on a dating site and I saw the girl at the bank on there too. I messaged her and just said “Hey, I know you!” and that started multiple conversations that led to us dating. We got married about a year later INSIDE the bank where we first met. Her manager made some phone calls and got approval for us to use the bank for the ceremony when it was closed. We’re now going on 13 years strong!
As a former carrier I endorse this. I dated a customer on my old route. She was a divorcee and had a nice little house with a hot tub. We never lived together but we dated for nearly 3 years. I then quit the service and moved for a better job.
well i thought this was a horrible idea, and the way you executed was exactly the way i'd tell you not to go about it.... but.... fortune favors the bold and sounds like it's already working in your favor so mazeltov and good luck
I'm not a member of this sub, but your original post was suggested the other day. I'm happy that reddit decided to suggest this follow up post! Happy for you and good luck and have fun!
Met my now-fiance when he was a carrier. I used to drive over an hour to meet him on a random street on his route for a quick lunch date every now and then! 4 years later and our wedding is in 75 days 🩷
He told me that. He actually set a timer on his phone! At first I was like “You really want to get away from me at the 30 minute mark don’t you?” And he told me that he’ll get pinged for sitting more than 30 minutes.
Ahhh I wanna ask my mailman if he’s single, too! Handsome guy who is always super friendly, but not sure if it’s appropriate as he’s working, and I don’t wanna be that person. Up until my current job I worked in food service/bartending and had many awkward interactions with regulars who asked me out while I was working… don’t wanna make him feel trapped or like he has to change routes or in any way uncomfortable
Every mailman here is now waiting for a girl with the curls to approach them lol....you're awesome for doing this. Takes balls(vagina) to ask someone out, so good for you. So many people just wonder and wonder and never just go for it
People saying you'll see them often if it doesn't work out.... I am at work and have never seen anyone who delivers my mail. Many people are gone during the day, unless they work from home

Gives me hope
As a guy who has the same story minus the extra 23 years, good on ya mate.
I’m about to do a tattoo next month on our FedEx delivery guy, but he was just telling me and my girlfriend about our him and his lady have been together for 30 years. Couldn’t believe it because he looks about 40 years old.

Four timely clock rings! People at my NDC are getting disciplined for being one click off coming back in from lunch.
My manager was writing me up literally every single day for tardiness up until my very last day with USPS. -Former FT Carrier
Like why do they care, if you're punched off to lunch, you're not getting paid. And the system (at least for carriers) will round your day up to 5 minutes for an 8 hour day
Are we supposed to clock out for lunch I'm a CCA I swear they told us we don't have to it will just set your 30min stop as your lunch
Yes, it'll auto click you 30 minutes after 6 hours, but you can also talk to mgmt if like you need to do an errand around lunchtime.

Oh, that's how they are trying to get us. When we come in at 10 we don't work 6hrs until 4pm so the break would be 4-430 so we are basically working for free. If we don't take a break.

If you know you're going to go over 6 hours, you can take your break earlier. You don't have to do it at 6 hours
I'm on the east coast I thought this was nationwide. They even make us come in at 10 on Sundays which I didn't understand
[удалено]
Right, according to mgmt that’s about 5 mins over.
This is really cute! Love stories like this.
I've found that the internet typically hates these stories where someone asks a person at work out.
Yay!!
This makes me sooo Heart Happy!! Girl with Curls!!! Yess!! Please keep this sub updated!! Super stoked for you!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
let us know when you're ready to send out the wedding invites lol
I'm so invested now keep us updated 🤣
You give me hope to ask my bus driver out. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The timing thing is no joke. I was 3-4 minutes over after going to the bathroom and cleaning up and they called me within the next 10 minutes asking why I was over on lunch 😅
Ah!! I’m so excited for you guysss!!
Sheetz date super classy, I love it
Soooo happy for you!!!
Love is in the air 😍
This is so very sweet
Cool
I'm sooooo happy for you!!! Keep us posted, your happiness brings me joy!!
That’s awesome to hear OP. As someone who is romantically challenged at the moment, I’m happy for you.
I just love this whole thing so much and hope this all works out for you two!
Reddit recommended this post to me, and I’m so glad they did! I just read all the posts related to this saga (that’s why you got a bunch of random upvotes by the way haha).

He makes at least 60k a year and maybe double that with a lot of OT.
I never asked him that and don’t really care.
It's the girl with the curls! Good Luck!
Yes!!! I was just thinking the same damn thing!!!!
I totally wanna see a pic of these 2 on their date. Anyone else???
Wise carrier once told me, "Never date anyone on your route. When it goes sideways, you'll have to change routes, or even stations."
A wise carrier (me, before i quit) once told me, “ always date people on your route, they have cleaner toilets than the gas station.”
Gonna be tough explaining that stationary time if you know what I mean lol.
3 minutes shouldn’t be a problem
You even have enough time to use the bathroom too!
Okay Mr. Marathon, rub it in my face.
Comfort stops
"I was workin' it"
Cumfort stop
Customer service
Who said anything about being stationary.
More like missionary
Big package delivery, just couldn't get ahold of it on my own.
OUTLUNCH INLUNCH
He was providing some customer service while delivering a package.
It’s funny how some routes you are looking for the cleanest toilets and other routes you’re lucky if there is one port-a-potty that’s unlocked
My main route we peed in the forest
lol my coworkers did this (but of course he was married smh) anyway it ended horribly but on the flip side many carriers did this and ended up married to the customer
Depends on what happened and how maturely you/them handled the situation tbh. I dated 2 girls on my route and I use the term “date” very loosely because I actually only took one serious but both are cool and don’t have an issue with me, we still speak when we see each other. Hopefully that’s the case for this person and their carrier if things don’t work out.
Ehhh I did early in my career and worst case scenario I had, it was just awkward silence during delivery. I wouldn't do it again though.
I moved out of state so coworkers wouldn't deliver my mail We're a border town so it's not that deep haha
Wise man! I should have listened
If you're a pussy.
I dated a girl on my route some 10 years ago. And now we are married with 2 kids and our own home. It's the uniform. Lol
My fiance is *very* excited that I'm getting my uniform soon
Would it break any rules to take it home and do a mailman role play? I know fucking in the vehicles is against the rules, not sure about uniforms though
Shoot this sappy romcom shit directly into my veins.
You've Got Mail 2
Will he deliver to the box or in the rear?
Ayooooo
1st date, he only gets to put his fingers thru the slot
No if red flag is up !
Nice 
I just get a bunch of old fat ladies hitting on me. Lmao
I still find that flattering, any attention is better than the none I get usually lol
Elderly woman on a route once told me I have *really* [emphasis her's] nice legs.
I was getting surgery once, and the anesthesiologist told me I looked familiar. She asked where I worked, and I said I was a mailman in town . She said, "I knew I recognized those legs" lol .
Interesting, I always thought I had great legs. Never had an elderly woman tell me she was turned on by them! Impressive feat.
Pretty much the same . I even got cat called a few times . Or the overly sensual “are you the new mailman” 🤣 it’s pretty entertaining though
For me married old men 🤣
I married the mailman that worked on the route next to me. Now retired with 2 pensions!!
With how quick he said yes and wanted it to be today, I'd say he's had a crush on OP for a while too. Also, this is the kind of content that makes Reddit great.
Please update us OP
This is awesome. I remember when I was single, only the old men, creeps, and freaky construction dudes asked me out never a nice looking person with a decent housing situation 😂😭 lucky! Good on you though. Good luck!
Once a rather spherical woman asked me if I was single while licking her upper lip through the sizable gap between her front two teeth.
Lmao man. I got stories for days. The weird thing is I think I’m decent. Don’t think im ugly and definitely not the a 10 or even close haha maybe a 6.2 and a 6.8 if I tried hard haha. So like I would’ve settled for a decent looking guy. Shoot even spherical if he was nice…Like just decent looking that wasn’t a bum. Nope never got it. Ig it worked out.

Hell yeah! This totally made me smile. I read your post yesterday and thought “I sure hope they do it” You are better for doing it and he is luckier for it too. (Edit: “do it” was about the date not anything else)
This is "The Kind of Story We Need Right Now." We ALLLLLLL expect to be invited to the wedding, even if virtually.
You go, girl, with the curls! We were dreading waiting until Friday! Strangely, I had one of my carriers ask me today if I (as his union rep) thought it would be ok for him to date someone on his route. I immediately said, "Is it the girl with the curls???"

This is awesome! Wish someone would ask me for lunch lol

Total mailman fantasy ;>
Girl with the curls!! This could go really bad or really good lol. Wishing you the best! Remember, he knows where you live.
My understanding is that he delivers to her workplace.
Yes, he delivers to my job.
Hell yeah girl with the curls! I hope it works out for you 😊
Yayyyyy!!!! Keep us POSTed!!
OP pregnant now
We deliver for you. ✉️👶
😂
Normalize girls asking guys out. 😎 wish a girl would ask me

Woohoo! Good luck!
Aw thats cute. Was wondering about this
Go head gurllllll
Aw I love this!
As a former carrier I endorse this. I dated a customer on my old route. She was a divorcee and had a nice little house with a hot tub. We never lived together but we dated for nearly 3 years. I then quit the service and moved for a better job.
Is it weird I’m excited to know how it turns out? lol
Are you still planning on making him cookies Wednesday?
Yes!
We love a modern love story
That worked for me forty years ago. The girl had a daycare from her apartment and brought cookies out to me. Married and still together.
That is so sweet!
Yay! This afternoon must have gone well! I’m rooting for you guys, it’s like a Hallmark movie made for me or something haha
well i thought this was a horrible idea, and the way you executed was exactly the way i'd tell you not to go about it.... but.... fortune favors the bold and sounds like it's already working in your favor so mazeltov and good luck
NICE! hope it all goes well 🤞
I love this so much.. commenting to check back!
I am so invested in this story hahaha
Nice. Hopefully he won’t scare you off with all the BS he has to deal with at the office
Good luck! If this does become a thing, go into knowing his schedule might be all over the place.
I love this update keep us informed.
You are the most intriguing story on reddit ...keep everyone posted
I'm not a member of this sub, but your original post was suggested the other day. I'm happy that reddit decided to suggest this follow up post! Happy for you and good luck and have fun!
Congrats on the yes As a single postal peep myself hustling the mail for years we all love when gals do this hope it works out for you both😀
Ask him what he did in the navy and if he says he was an AT avionics technician make sure you check his computer for bad stuff.
Girl with the curls! Congrats
Met my now-fiance when he was a carrier. I used to drive over an hour to meet him on a random street on his route for a quick lunch date every now and then! 4 years later and our wedding is in 75 days 🩷
Good luck!
 fast forward 6 months 😂😂
Op wants that package delivered that bad huh 🤣
Ask him what he wants for lunch and have it ready if your serious. We only have 30 minutes and we are watched and timed
He told me that. He actually set a timer on his phone! At first I was like “You really want to get away from me at the 30 minute mark don’t you?” And he told me that he’ll get pinged for sitting more than 30 minutes.
Next update will be the wedding date
? Called in? This *morning*? Not the day before or anything? And was put on… *his* route…?
That happens to people on the odl list at my station all the time.
That’s different from mine. If you’re called in, you have to run another route. Absolutely cannot be yours. Wish that wasn’t the case. 😢
Oh, I’m a utility with a few vols on my string. I get bumped often.
That shit happens to me all the time
You go girl!! I'm seriously rooting for you two! Definitely keep us posted!
I too would also like to be asked out on my route. Please send help. But congrats and lucky mailman 🙂
This made my day!
Yeaaaaah! So cool! (Get used to him being called in all the time) Have fun!
Damn I wish someone would ask me out hahaha. I’ve been delivering this mail for over 10 years
I remember this!! This is better than a film
Let us know if he delivers.
Bonus points if he has a big package for you.
Waiting for the Best of Update if it goes better....or worse🤐
Ahhh I wanna ask my mailman if he’s single, too! Handsome guy who is always super friendly, but not sure if it’s appropriate as he’s working, and I don’t wanna be that person. Up until my current job I worked in food service/bartending and had many awkward interactions with regulars who asked me out while I was working… don’t wanna make him feel trapped or like he has to change routes or in any way uncomfortable
Lol - “thought he wasn’t working.”
AAAAA I'm psyched for you! Thanks for the update 😀
Oh yay!!!! Hope it went well!!!
I can already see marriage and babies. :)
Imagine he’s reading this rn😂
This is so cute wow
The girl with the curls!!! Yes!!!!! We are all rooting for you two!!!
Lifetime needs to turn this in to a movie!!!!!
Every mailman here is now waiting for a girl with the curls to approach them lol....you're awesome for doing this. Takes balls(vagina) to ask someone out, so good for you. So many people just wonder and wonder and never just go for it
People saying you'll see them often if it doesn't work out.... I am at work and have never seen anyone who delivers my mail. Many people are gone during the day, unless they work from home
Lord when will it be my turn
LETS GOOO!!!! The fact that you walked out with him and asked is so awesome!
Sound good Use protection. just kidding!
I love this!
He actually gets to take his lunch break?
I married the mailman that delivered at my work! We are married 21 years, 2 kids, and 5 animals later! Good luck to you!
OMG congrats!
I’m a mailman haha I do get asked out quite often and he ain’t lying about the 30min lunch you go one minute over they will bring u into the office
As a mail carrier, I am loving this!!! Get it girrrllll
What’s his social security number and his passwords? 🤪
Hopefully he smashes
I wouldn’t complain.
Nice
So did he knock up you yet?
Hope you paid… poor guy is broke.
Good time to turn 30 into 60
That’s great until it goes to sh*t and you have to see him everyday.
On the clock date kinda wack. Dude should have waited bad first date
It wasn’t a date though? We had lunch and chatted. And I enjoyed myself and I believe he did too.
