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.

Awww this cheered me up, thanks
I have work to do and no sexy builders here Tbh I cannot remember when last time I saw a crush worthy builder though...

What happened Flower? I’m hoping you’re going to say you married him!

I’ll go out later and buy some hobnobs - I’ll consider it money well spent —and I’m sure the dc won’t mind going without lunch one day— if it works!

I’m joking about the dc in case anyone is worried ...

We have just had builders. I agree with poster upthread who said go to the loo after him. That'll put you off. Builders and loos are another species.

Don't lose hope OP! MY DSis married the decorator!

Lol

Ask chatty gaffer about his friend, how old is he and is he single. Do it for mumsnet op, we need to know!

Came on to suggest seducing him with hobnobs but I see someone has beaten me to it.

You need to be careful talking to the gaffer. They usually turn out to be the target of crush's brother in law. You do not want to get 'Yes he's married. For twenty years. To my baby sister' Followed by both builders leaving 'to get materials' for 15 weeks.

What does haram mean? I hope I haven’t done it/had it/said it/implied it whatever it is. I think I’ve forgotten how to engage in coitus anyway so probably just as well it’s not on offer.

Oh northern very good point. How else can I find out though? I could follow him home ...

Ask him if he has kids. That might lead to him saying whether he has a partner.

Lulu (appropriate name considering the topic!) on Saturday there was a brickie here. I went outside to see only the main two men. When I asked where the brickie was they told me he’d just had to nip off for a bit. Later, chatty gaffer told me he’d (brickie) gone to his mum’s to use the toilet! I didn’t know whether to be impressed at his consideration for my toilet, or to feel sorry for his mum!

Ah - fast forward 5 years - your MIL lives around the corner ... red flag from me !

( was that enough to put you off ?? )

No it was the brickie who went to his mum’s. But if prospective mil did live nearby I could move

You are going to have to get info from chatty gaffer, it's the only way. Unless considerate shitting brickie comes back.

Yes, definitely ask them about kids. That's a sure fire way to find out if he has a partner/girlfriend/wife.

So there's a brickie, a gaffer and Mr. Crush is it? Or is the crush the brickie?

If your crush is the considerate shitter, then maybe he likes you too.

at considerate shitting brickie.

Usually there’s just chatty gaffer and crushy builder. But on Saturday there was also shitting brickie who I understand will be returning tomorrow.

😂 placemarking as I so want this to work out for you op!

You're so lucky op. I've got a thing for builders...ln fact my dp is one and not by coincidence either. kids are your way in to finding out more as pp said. Wait til yours are doing something untoward, roll your eyes and say 'god do yours annoy you like this!?' Or some such. You need an open ended question so he can just give you a yes or no.
He might just be shy...

I'm enjoying all these nicknames! I also love a good love story. Get your biscuits out!
