bank boy broodings

there is a cute boy in the bank where I have to go regularly for work.

although he has worked there for quite a few weeks, today was the first time we had a little chat, because every other time I had been so nervous that I couldn’t make any actual words come out of my mouth and went red just waiting in the queue to do my banking. it seems that although I am 34 and supposedly Grown Up, I am still unable to form sentences in the presence of a man I find attractive.

I bring the money from work to the bank in a plastic bag. today he made me laugh because he said everyone else uses an envelope so my plastic bag made things much more interesting his end and really broke up his day nicely. I thought that was quite funny.

he also has a nice smile.

but I cannot ask him out for obvious reasons (highly probable redness of face being main limiting factor).

so I'm thinking about trying something different. I would like to write him a note that says:

dear boy in bank,
I think you are cute and friendly and would like to have a cup of tea with you but am too nervous to ask you out because I would go red. but if you would not be averse to having a drink with me, here is my number. if that is the last thing you would like to do, then please ignore this note and never bring it up when I come to do the banking. thanking you.
from girl who banks with money in plastic bag


then I would give it to him right at the end after doing all the banking so I could run away straight after.

but I don’t know whether boys would see this as
        a) endearing and cute, or
        b) desperate, stalkerish and weird.

if you are a boy, or wise to the ways of boy minds, please feel free to advise.
