To have asked my hairdresser on a date?

[auldspinster]

Had my hair done on Saturday - we were talking sex; relationships and children and we were bemoaning how difficult it is to meet people at our age (we're both 41) and what we missed as single people.

I've always found him attractive and we always have masses to talk about (my frightwig takes about an hour to cut and dry) and I thought afterwards, fuck it, life's too short.

He has a website for a semi professional thing he does on the side so I emailed through it, suggesting we meet for a coffee. That was at lunchtime, am I insane?

If he doesn't reply will you feel weird about going in to get your fringe cut?

I think if he had read the message he would have responded with a yay or nay straight away, cos he sounds like a nice person. I would leave it for up to a week, and then phone the salon.

It looks fab! From your clues I may know which group of salons you are talking about. Is it Cheynes? If so don't worry you haven't outed yourself because I know they have a huge team

Not Cheynes no.

How sad is it that I can tell where that bus is 😂

It's a mirror image.

I have no idea how he will respond but I love your confidence. I wish we taught all girls this sort of self confidence and self esteem.

If he doesn't bite it's his loss.

You look amazing for 41 OP!

Ta! I don't have children and have inherited very good genes from my mum who looks at least 15 years younger than she is.

You are not 41!!

41!!!! Do you have a painting in the attic?

My insides probably look more like those of a hard living 70 year old.

Go OP!!! Rooting for you!!

Am going to see Rob Newman, Geoff Dyer and Paul Mason, all of whom I find foxy, during the various festivals here this month but am suddenly a bit meh about them all.

I have major hair envy right now!

Funny you say your mum looks 15 yrs younger... Because I think you look 26!!

Fingers crossed you get a positive reply soon !

I've had a (very innocent) crush on my hairdresser for years too but we are both married with kids the same age so we now just talk about that stuff!

Good haircut

Edinburgh! I'm now dying to know who it is! Hope he replies op!

Me too. So not Cheynes... Charlie Miller?

I need to get some Fringe shows booked too.

Lovely hair!

Doh, keep forgetting that 2 asterisks embolden text.

Good luck You were brave to do it and you kept it casual
Good on you! :-)
