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.

This is my new favourite thread, oh the intrigue! You're in with more than a slight possibility if cg has blatantly told you that cb likes you, come on! Also I like the cut of your jib, with the iron maiden 😁

It's so love that you're all cheering for me!

Good news: I asked cg if cb could do a couple of jobs elsewhere around the house when there's not much for him to do on the extension. This means I can attempt to talk to him on his own ...

Further good news: managed a convo of more than 10 words. He has cats and is going to show me pictures of them.

Bad news: can't imagine a single unattached man having cats :(. If I get to see the pics I'll try and probe.

Further bad news: cg has whisked him off to another job for the day so Tuesday is over.

Sneaky cg he is def pulling rank and putting obstacles in the way.
I think your only solution is to limit tea and reduce biscuits to nothing.
Want to play dirty do ya he? See if you like rations cg mwah mwah mwah

Well done on the convo! If it reassures you, I can think of a number of (nice) single men Ive known with cats. One of them I married.

I think that points to a softer side of CB.

Loving this thread just place marking x

Very definately placemarking. I have to know what happens next! Predicting your Christmas card this year will be a photo of you and cb in the new extension surrounded by cats.

Well done Keyra!

I love a man who loves cats.

Next step is to find out if there's a significant other. Have you have a sniff around on Facebook?

Totally invested in this thread. Looking forward to more updates OP!

My handsome plumber and his son are at my house all day today. My (single) MIL is staying over. It’s 10am and she’s already made tea three time for “the boys” (her words, not mine). I’m waiting for her to start baking for them soon hahaha

Love this!

He has cats? Swoooning here....

I have just found and devoured this thread in one go. SEMEN CINAMMON. GAPPY TEETH. FANNY GALLOPS. I swear this is the best thing I’ve read for aaages!

I wish my life had half this intrigue. I’m a divorcee with three tradesmen in my house right now but nary a fanny tremble to be had. One of them just asked me if I wanted to go and look at the yellow slime he found in my cold water tank in the loft.

Hhm, the only single men I know with cats are gay. And interestingly, the only men I know with in/out teeth are also gay.

Oh noooooo, please let him not be gay!!

I am following with excitement, please please let CB be single and straight ....... time for some new undies and a push up bra!

I wish you were all my rl friends, I have a feeling my actual friends would be very disapproving.

Heartening to hear that there are single men with cats out there, perhaps all is not lost. Face I would've thought men with insertable teeth plus cats are relatively rare so perhaps you know cb. Most of the gay men I know (grand sum of three!) are very talkative though and cb can't be described thusly by any stretch!

Candle there's an offer you don't get every day. Did you accept?!

Cg text me earlier to ask if I was missing them - I haven't replied.

Whaaaaaat? You need to reply saying which of them you are missing. He is so on to you crushing on his mate

I don't really know how to handle this Alien, I'm hoping ignoring all attempts at flirting will do the job. Can't annoy him as I have to see him every day until Xmas, besides which I do think he's a nice man. Just not the right one :(

Definitely not the same, Keyra, they're not builders. I agree though, the Venn diagram of cat owning denture wearing builders must be pretty small.

How about in all your chats with CG, you gaze at CB? Then apologise for not concentrating because you are ogling CB? That is both indirect and clear!

Funnily enough I did not , I’ve been watching too much Haunting of Hill House and do not fancy nightmares tonight about a ghostbusters style Slimer made of yellow slime emerging from my loft.

I’m torn between CG being a clumsy matchmaker (after all, he did tell you CB likes you!) I’m which case you should definitely reply to his text saying who it is you’re missing, or being an even clumsier flirter who is misreading the situation terribly! In which case, you should also definitely reply to his text saying who it is you’re missing!

Well men that love cats are just the best. I think I love him now

Well, reading that thread killed half an hour whilst I'm sat waiting for my tumble dryer engineer to arrive. I was feeling very inconvenienced by the whole thing but this thread has opened a whole world of possibilities*!

*Said in jest. I'm married and 8 months pregnant which means my hands are so swollen I can't even remove my wedding ring.

Plus I only have eyes for my actual crush who I regularly strip down to my new underwear for

Cg text me earlier to ask if I was missing them - I haven't replied.

^^

I'm sorry but cg sounds bloody brilliant.
I need to get me a new extension I think

Ooh yes, and has TP shown? Or is he awol again

Loving this thread, place marking for updates!
