I don't think anyway is creepy at all if she left her info to begin with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2372717 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 09:34:09 +0000 lioneyes 2372717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW I was in the exact same sitch (I was the new girl and gave my # to someone at a store who had a family member with a newborn, too) and now the other girl I met is my closest mom friend. I agree that it's so so weird randomly contacting people, or asking for someone's number at the park, but it ends up being worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371405 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 21:54:53 +0000 pastemoo 2371405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: me too!@Charm54: yay voicemail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371275 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:54:48 +0000 gingerbebe 2371275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I was going to say call with a message memorized under the assumption that it will probably go to voicemail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371268 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:43:52 +0000 HLK208 2371268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a text is fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371213 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 15:51:21 +0000 Charm54 2371213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yep I did a silent cheer :) though I hope she calls back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371169 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 14:23:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2371169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: sometimes I wish for voicemails cause then I don't have to talk to them directly haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371149 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 14:02:37 +0000 Charm54 2371149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called and it went right to voicemail so I left a message. I hate voicemails but hopefully she will call or text me back.</p> <p>Thanks everyone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371144 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:58:56 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2371144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a call would be least creepy/most welcoming. She did share her info, so is likely expecting your contact, so I'd opt to call, with a script as another poster recommended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371136 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:51:36 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2371136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371126 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:39:48 +0000 honeybear 2371126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call, but I don't think you can go wrong with a text. I've been the new person in town a lot due to frequent moves, and I'm always just happy to meet people, however they choose to contact me! She'll almost certainly be thrilled to hear from you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371124 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:34:10 +0000 Synchronicity 2371124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I was on the receiving end I'd prefer to get a text, so that's what I'd go with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371113 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:24:16 +0000 mrsrain 2371113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In this case I would call. I would also totally write a script for it, but I have a phone phobia so they might just be me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371081 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 12:13:50 +0000 blackbird 2371081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would text and make a joke about being some random creepy lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371036 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 11:04:04 +0000 PurplePeony 2371036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably text something like "hi, this is Charm54, my aunt who owns Local Shop said you were interested in the baby group. Is this a good time for me to call and chat about it?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371030 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 10:57:18 +0000 Greentea 2371030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CALL! It is much less awkward to call. Then she has talked to you and will feel more comfortable joining a group. Otherwise text. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2371016 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 10:37:12 +0000 bloved 2371016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely hate calling people and almost always default to text, but I feel like for an introduction, calling is the most appropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370998 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:43:06 +0000 pastemoo 2370998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: call. Also I often write myself a script because I get awkward on the phone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370993 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:26:17 +0000 Charm54 2370993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I was thinking text initially but I just tried composing one and it sounds so weird trying to introduce myself ... So I think you're right, calling might be easiest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370990 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:24:26 +0000 birdofafeather 2370990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call but I think that's easier when introducing myself. Facebooking would be weird because she gave your aunt her number! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370981 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:10:57 +0000 thismustbetheplace 2370981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote text! If you Facebook message her and you're not friends it may get hidden in her 'others' folder and she may not see it. Either way, I think she'll be really grateful. I've been the 'new girl in town' and I would be so happy if someone went out of their way to make me feel included :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370979 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2370979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I text or message her on Facebook. I don't always answer the phone for numbers I don't know and I feel like a text or Facebook contact would be less awkward </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370978 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:02:23 +0000 Cherrybee 2370978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turn up at her house late one evening and peer through the window until she spots you?! :wink: </p> <p>I voted text. I would suspect she would like contact as she gave your Aunt her number, but if not she can always ignore a text. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-least-creepy#post-2370975 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 08:58:15 +0000 Charm54 2370975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt owns a local shop and there was a young woman in the other day. They got to chatting and the woman just moved to town and has little children. My aunt mentioned that her niece (aka Me) has children the same age and that I am in a baby/toddler group with other moms. She said she would love to join one , so my aunt took her name and phone number and gave it to me.</p> <p>Now I don't know what the least creepy way to contact her is...do I call? Text? Facebook her? I definitely want to get in touch since there aren't a ton of young families in my area so I know it can be hard to meet people .... But I feel weird calling. But I also feel weird texting or face booking haha.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
