Friday 13th and tiara celebrations

I've just arranged to have a 'Champagne and Bling' party (thanks to my pharmacist doppelganger for the suggestion- she needs an excuse to drink champers and wear her wedding tiara again so I thought I'd oblige) at mine in a month's time. I've been meaning to have a gathering since becoming single, but felt a pang of guilt at the idea of celebrating my new found freedom. That is until My Ex had an all night party last week of his own. So now I have changed my mind and am inviting friends over for some drunken,dancing-around-the-living-room antics.
The interest in Sign Shop Man has resurfaced. My daily trips to the internet cafe opposite the Sign Shop have meant I can now catch his eye as I exit from my emailing spree. I think I am going to ask him out, but the question is... HOW??? And... AM I MAD?
I could just walk in there and ask him, but this would be a)embarrassing and b)out of context. What am I supposed to say? That I need a sign and can he give me one? (a la 'Baby Hit Me One More Time'?). No no no.. this needs more thought. Doppelganger thinks I should write him a note with my number on it and go in, say hi (blush like a radish) and hand it to him. Readers- I need your help on this one... Do I go for it, or I do I leave him in his cosy bubble in the Sign Shop where I can just strut past from time to time and get an ego boosting glance my way, never speaking to him and never risking making a total arse of myself?? It is Friday 13th after all and this would be a time doused in ironic bad vibes, when a gargantuan arse is be likely to be made.

Internet CAFÉ - bring him a cup of java with your number written on it. No words need be spoken - Just smile and be beguiling.....

If you're still thinking about internet dating you could do worse than this lot, Natural Friends, although try not to be put off by the wrinklies on their Home page - it's for over 21's and they're simply not ageist!

You should do something in the style of Amelie and leave clues around for him to find!

Have I been watching too much television?

Janey V- thanks for the java tip- I am liking it! And I might well try this website when I get my darned internet up and running at home. Don't really fancy surfing for men folk in public- although I am sitting here in hope a certain someone spies me....so how much more public can I get? I keep learing over and having to arch my neck to see if I can spot him! I am officially his stalker....

Emml- I do love the Amelie technique it has to be said. Television is great for inspiration sometimes I find....

And Rachel- how come you are sometimes called Adrian? Is there something you are not telling me???x
