Ok so I have the most gorgeous neighbour. He helped me out with a kitchen appliance crisis a few months back. As a thank you I said we should do coffee.
Today was that day.
He is smart intelligent handsome and such a gentleman.
I have been admiring him since he moved in.
Anyhow I text him to say thanks for a lovely afternoon. He replied with
*
"You are very exciting, and I dont know how it could end."

What does this mean. I want it to mean one thing but it probably means something elseConfused

I may be moving at the end of this month and I won't see him Sad

What do I do I am very attracted to him.

How far away are you moving?
Doesn’t need to be the end?

Armygirl · 06/02/2018 21:49

Maybe ask him how he would like it to end?

HettySunshine · 06/02/2018 21:49

My first thought is that he sent this message to you by mistake as it really doesn't make sense. I really hope that's not the case though as he sounds lovely.

Why not just ask him out?

hatty44 · 06/02/2018 21:50

If the crisis was a few months ago, seems there has been plenty of time for something to have happened by now....
Or do you know bump into him very often?

Mymouthgetsmeintrouble · 06/02/2018 21:51

It means you could possibly be doing lots of exciting (naughty) things together , just ask him out hes shown hes keen

meowimacat · 06/02/2018 21:52

That message doesn't make sense - is english his first language? I would say 'well thanks again, let me know if you'd like to go for a coffee another time' - you could always explain you may be moving soon if he doesn't know that already. Then the ball is in his court.

2cats2many · 06/02/2018 21:53

That's such a weird text to send. Is English his first language?

2cats2many · 06/02/2018 21:54

Cross post! Great cats think alike Wink

DontDIY · 06/02/2018 21:54

I wondered if English was his first language Confused

And agree, drop in that you might be moving as a way of definitely seeing him again before you go

Klobuchar · 06/02/2018 21:55

Don’t wish to be the villain of the piece but I will anyway....

How would you feel about living next door to someone who you’d dumped, or had dumped you? Or just had a few dates with and it didn’t work out so it was awkward every time you opened your front door?

Do you own or rent? Any plans to move at all? How about him?

Klobuchar · 06/02/2018 21:56

Oh sorry, just seen you might be moving away.

isobel79 · 06/02/2018 21:56

English isn't his first language.
Well it's always been a case of bumping into each other whether I'm off to work or whether we just happen to be outside at the same time.
Thanks for all replies

Ask him how he'd like it to end?
Then you can either play it straight (asking for clarification) or coy.

isobel79 · 06/02/2018 22:01

I don't know how obvious I was to him to show him that I fancy him like crazy all I asked him was how he is single because he really shouldn't be. The things you come out with when you nervous flirt doh!!!!!!

Rudgie47 · 06/02/2018 22:02

Might end up with him in prison or being a sex pest.

LizzieSiddal · 06/02/2018 22:05

If English isn’t his first language I think he’s saying “I didn’t want it to end” *It being the coffee/meeting.

I’d reply with “would you like to go out again?”

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 06/02/2018 22:10

I think it's pretty obvious he's up for it OP. Go round there now!

isobel79 · 06/02/2018 22:12

I'm tempted to text him right now just to say I think he's very very nice O gosh I don't know what to say. It's 2211pm it's late I don't want him to think I'm bothering him

OP posts:
Hotdoggity · 06/02/2018 22:12

Or, "You're over excited and I want it to stop"... But hopefully not!

isobel79 · 06/02/2018 22:13

If he'd have kissed me I wouldn't have pushed him away

OP posts:
DontDIY · 06/02/2018 22:14

Do it.

I’m bored and my only sniff of romance is to live vicariously through MN

isobel79 · 06/02/2018 22:15

Also he said if I needed help moving I should let him know omg shall I text him now? I feel butterflies

That sounds very exciting, OP, like he wants to have an interesting things happen with you! I think I’d be pursuing this!

isobel79 · 06/02/2018 22:23

Ok how is this for a message which I'm gonna send right now
"sorry for this late message I have to let you know that you are so handsome and I quite fancy you"

Aarrgh what do you think peeps. I'm so nervous it's sounds rubbish doesn't it. You wouldn't think I'm a woman in me late 30s
