What to do in this situation?

    I am a male, a chick was hired at my job, we went on a few double dates, then after a few months she moved back to her parents which is 3-4 hours away. Now she says shes getting married, her b-day is coming up, and I want to wish her a happy b-day, and good luck, but my phone got messed up, and I no longer have her phone number.

    She doesn't have facebook, but I found out her mom does, and I don't know her mom so should I send a message to the mom? If I do send a message to the mom it will probably be this: " subject her daughers name," and then this " Hi, I worked with your daughter, just wanted to say hi, happy b-day, and wish her luck, but lost her phone number.

    Would I be considered a creeper or something along those lines?

    Absolutely, you can be sure mom will pass the message on, just mention though that you were looking on FB for the daughter - and found mom by accident.

    Start with something like, Sorry to bother you Mrs x but .....

    He'll be absolutely considered a creeper or something because of that?

    @OP - Hello... it's the 2011? Facebook is intended for searching people around the internet >.< Why would that be creepy? And besides, your message of intent isn't that bad and you were honest about what you really want to say.

    Ok, thanks. I didn't find her moms name though when searching for her. I found her moms name in somebody elses profile who I know. When I search for the last name I don't see her moms name come up.

    I Agree with tiddles, First Say "Sorry to bother you, Mrs...., Then ask the question, I don't think asking this question is weird or anything, Is a normal question to me.

    There is nothing wrong in getting the message across to here via her mother. Make sure to start the message with respect though.

    Ok, thanks guys. Sometimes I forget about respect when typing things, and when in a hurry. Thanks again.

    You don't have to think so much, just go ahead or forget about it.

    Whenever you are addressing someone else in the message, make sure you are putting your words in a proper combination and dont mess up. Words do have great effect on what you are trying to relate and how. Also try to praise her mom too in some of the lines, so that she gets impressed by your appearance by message ;)

    If you just want to greet and congratulate the girl then do so. Your intention is good and I don't think her mum will think that you're a creep.

    I think you are a normal, natural you do but you should not assume that you are doing it as a hobby

    You definitely ought to contact her (Her mom). She'll surely pass on the message. I mean there is nothing wrong and/or to be ashamed of so head up and go for it :) Also best of luck, I hope everything goes as you've planned! Thumbs up mate.

    Its just that she drove 3-4 hours, and went to where I used to work, and asked for me. I quit so I wasn't there. I think she might have changed her mind on getting married which is why I wanted to contact her in case she wants to go on more dates. Thanks again guys. Her one birthday I was invited to her party, and I did a lot to get on time. Car broke down on my way home from work so I fixed it up, was running a little late, had to speed, and then some idiot swerved at me while I was at a high rate of speed so I lost control of my car. Car was sliding sideways down a busy road at 70-80mph, then I pulled the e-brake, and was facing the car that swerved at me, did a 360 degree spin, and was behind the car that swerved at me, but I couldn't get the license plate # cause they kept speeding up, and I didn't want them to get into an accident even knowing I could've been killed by them. I do a lot to see my friends on time. 1 time I was on my mountain bike before I had my license biking to my friends house, got hit by a truck cause I was on the sidewalk, a big rig next to me, and didn't see the sidewalk slanted where cars could come up cause of the big rig so I got hit. Blacked out for a little, couldn't move my right let, but hopped away from the scene just so I could hang out with my friends before school started. Haven't seen any of them friends since cause of them moving away, getting married, joining the army, ect. If I make a promise I keep it end of story.Also after that mountain bike accident I made it to my friends house on time cause within 10 min. I could move my right leg again. I have no feeling in my legs or arms so if I lift something really heavy sometimes I can't tell how heavy it is until my arms give out, and then I have to wait a few minutes till I can move my arms/hands again.

    It's all about respect when it comes to mothers.. remember that..she is probably protective of her daughter and her relationship..
