Oh for goodness sake. I have a crush on the builder

[Keyra]

I’m such a cliche - middle aged sahm crushing on the builder. I need strategies to look busy and keep out of the way.

[Keyra]

Oh - I’m a cliche alright but at least I’m a single cliche.

[FaFoutis]

Go into the toilet after him. That should sort you out.

[FaFoutis]

I meant after he has come out, rather than with him!

[betweenhillsandsea]

This might be the beginning of something magical 

[Keyra]

Follow him to the toilet? . I can’t do that - I can’t even look him in the eye when I make him a cup of tea!

[Keyra]

Oh - xposted! Phew!

[amusedbush]

Could this be like the gardener thread??

[Keyra]

betweenhillsandsea I don’t think so. He’s either very shy or he dislikes me - it’s very hard getting a conversation going :(. I’m keeping out of the way but every now and then I get a glimpse

[FaFoutis]

How long is he there for?

[Keyra]

zzzzz I don’t know. I can’t think of a way to ask without it sounding predatory. Even if he isn’t though he’s too young for me. Although tbf I can’t quite decide how old he actually is - could be anything between 30 - 50!

[LaurieFairyCake]

Well then he's not too young is he?

He probably fancies you too, You numpty!

[Keyra]

Until about Xmas FaFoutis. There’s two of them - the other one is very chatty and is the gaffer.

[PinkHeart5914]

He is being shy because your giving off the I want to shag you vibes!

Being serious just strike up a conversation, you never know you may end up with his number before he leaves

[Keyra]

Oh Laurie if only! I’m potentially old enough to be his mum (if I’d started very young) and he probably has a very lovely partner. I’m just daydreaming.

[Keyra]

Omg Pink I would absolutely die if I was doing that! How do I know if I am?! I might be, it has been a long time. Fuck, now I can’t even make him tea!

[adoggymama]

@Keyra LMAO! Keep us posted- hopefully it works out for you in some way ;) maybe he fancies you too??

[FaFoutis]

Oh dear. At least you can't do anything too ridiculous if there are two of them.
My other tip is wear your oldest pants.

[Keyra]

Talking of pants - I have an iron maiden thing in the kitchen where I dry all my washing. The lengths I’ve gone to since they’ve been here to try and hide my knickers is ridiculous. If nothing else comes of this farce I have at least realised I need new underwear.

[adoggymama]

@Keyra play some games for fun! Get some nice undies and hang them out to dry- or a nice bra.

As bad as it sounds, if you know his name or company maybe you could Facebook stalk him to find out his relationship status!

[Keyra]

I haven’t got any nice ones adoggymama! I’m going to the corner shop, then I’ll make them tea. I’ll report back!

[WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit]

We had a very nice apprentice age builder boy work on our extension. Even without a kitchen I ended up having lots of friends over for coffee so we could ogle. DD was only about 4/5 at the time and the first time he was on site she declared "oh that one is very pretty" [shame]

[Keyra]

Here’s how the tea convo went:

Me to both: Do you want tea?
Chatty Gaffer: Yes please
Crushy Builder: Yes please

The end.

:(

[MorningsEleven]

I think you're making real progress there 😂 Next you need to break out the chocolate hobnobs, it's a well-known sign that you desire him if you bring out the good biscuits. If you want to be really obvious you have to give his boss rich tea.

[Flower777]

I had a huge crush on our builder.
