Two single neighbors dating: yes or no?

You are spreading shipping this guy?

Plan your wedding while you are at it.

Sounds like a romcom script.

I'm now married to my former neighbor.

Say “hi, I remember that you helped me when I moved in, I meant to thank you but I never did, how are you doing, could I get you a coffee maybe?”

I'd have to walk past his apartment/my old apartment a lot to run into him. LoL.

I have a dog. He doesn't. I hardly ever see him, unless he's driving in his car.

Where his apartment is situated is very quiet. I would really be going out of my way to walk by his apartment.

Maybe I'll see him at a resident event at the clubhouse.

Then, that to me would be somewhat awkward. He might feel I'm not respecting his privacy and stalking him.

I just thought I'd leave a note with my number saying, "It's your former neighbor. Give me a call sometime. I didn't get a chance to introduce myself when you moved in."

The last option is the only halfway adult approach. Meeting organically is far better.

Cookies are a little much IMO. Just strike up a conversation next time you see him. Introduce yourself, mention that you appreciate him helping you last year and that you never caught his name. If you hit it off, great, you can ask him out (or maybe he will even ask). If not, it’s not weird and you can move on.

I briefly dated a neighbor once and it was really uncomfortable because he wasn’t as into me. Trying to catch glimpses of him or looking for his car, wondering if he would knock, later feeling awkward running into each other. Don’t.

You rent and don't own, so in theory if it doesn't work, you're not stuck there forever having to live near your ex. So go for it!

My kids classmates parents were neighbors. Go for it, you can always move. No cookies, just say hi to him.

Start walking your dog by his building. Eventually you might see him.

I like this. I would do this. I just don't know how or when I would run into him.

To me, we did meet "organically" already when he moved across the hall from me and when he helped move some furniture. I just didn't catch his name. I had a BF at the time with me.

OP's crush is a redhead and she's hoping to get "gingerbread".
