AIBU?

To never let my builder live this down

I've currently got an excellent builder doing some work on my new place, so we've been texting the arrangements and I've just had another message from him ... except this one says what an incredibly sexy body I've got and how I seem easy going and great to get along with

It's safe to assume this isn't for me as I'm an old gimmer and he's young - and incidentally gorgeous Grin - so it looks likely he's internet dating or whatever. Anyway he sent an instant apology when he realised what he'd done which of course I gladly laughed off (he's a really lovely guy as well)

Question is, he's coming again soon and I've simply got to pull his leg over this but can't decide what to do or say ... any ideas from the MN jury?

Text him back before he arrives, a sexy selfie!

Constantly ask him 'in for a coffee' Grin

There must be plenty of building related innuendos you could just drop into conversation. Some plumbing you need him to take a look at, perhaps?

No good I'm afraid, gummybear ... like I said I'm an old gimmer and I hardly think he'd be enthralled by any pics of me Blush

Ask him for the friends and family discount now he's revealed his true feelings for you 😀

Oh God, I'd be totally creeped out if I was young and gorgeous and I mistakenly texted that message to an older male client and he brought it up again. Don't say anything!! Forget it ever happened Grin.

Promise never to mention it again and he will probably be so grateful that he knocks a few quid off the bill.

I'm female, margot - not that it makes it any better I suppose Wink

Just wish I was 30 years younger if he's looking for offers ...

My window cleaner did similar with me once. Expect he rang me at 2 in the morning, called me sexy and asked if the coast was clear to "come for a visit". He was very very very embarrassed and I never saw him again. Shame because he was much better than the new window cleaner that I got to replace him

Discount or it goes on Checkatrade Grin

I guessed you are female puzzled - I am too. I meant if I was young and gorgeous and mistakenly sent a saucy message to an older client of the opposite sex. I was just turning the tables and imagining how I would have felt in the builder's shoes. Anyway, you say he's a good laugh so I'm sure he will take any ribbing as it's intended.

Tell him you feel so awkward after he announced his feeling over text and that your not into younger men 😁
