To have asked my hairdresser on a date?

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?

Just passed his boss in the street, took all my willpower not to grab him and tell him to get Mr X to check his mail.

You do not look 41!! Hope you get the answer you'd like, OP.

nikkinackienoo · 03/08/2016 14:09

Good for you OP.
Love your hair and want ask how you do the selfies without the mirror image?

honeybunny14 · 03/08/2016 14:16

Good luck op you look bloody amazing Smile

auldfuckingspinster · 03/08/2016 14:27

If you go into photo editor you get the option to flip the picture, wish I knew how to stop it defaulting to mirror image. Gonna have a head like a tefal boffin with all these complimentsGrin.

auldfuckingspinster · 03/08/2016 14:29

Place marking means you can easily find the thread by clicking on the 'I'm on' button.

justfortheperks · 03/08/2016 14:35

Are you using the selfie option on an Android phone? It really does make a difference to skin.

auldfuckingspinster · 03/08/2016 14:41

Only edit I've done is to flip the second pic, the first pic is a mirror image, not done anything to my skin.

Hushabyelullaby · 03/08/2016 14:44

oh go you op! Hope he messages back, and you look bloody great for 41 by the way - i'm the same age (nearly), and don't look anywhere near as young!

auldfuckingspinster · 03/08/2016 15:06

He's a bit beardy which I'm not usually that into but kind of sexy on him. Grr, I'm usually pretty patient but this is excruciating. Warm weather isn't helping with feeling hot and bothered either.

natwebb79 · 03/08/2016 15:26

Ooh I hope he says yes! I really fancied a guy who owned a juice bar years back and asked him out by texting the number on his business cards on the counter. After 2 weeks I gave up hope but he eventually texted back saying he only checked that phone every couple of weeks. As it happened he was already spoken for but was very sweet and told me to keep.going in the shop and he was really flattered. Fingers crossed for you!

squoosh · 03/08/2016 15:31

Are you going to keep him as your hairdresser even if he says no? Hopefully Mr WWI Poet realises it's Dulce et Decorum Est...........to reply to such lovely messages.

squoosh · 03/08/2016 15:32

natwebb Mr Juice sounds like a nice sort.

HeyMamacita · 03/08/2016 15:58

This is all sooooooo identifying!!!

Queenbean · 03/08/2016 16:04

The overall cut looks really nice but he went too short with your fringe!

Not sure it's the best idea having all your pics on here - what happens if someone from the salon recognises your post, doesn't it become a bit awkward?

squoosh · 03/08/2016 16:07

I think she's requested that her photos be removed.

Chihuahualala · 03/08/2016 16:08

I wouldn't go in and ask him if he doesn't reply that's a bit stalkery.

Plus yy to getting the pictures of you removed, you look great but it could make things very awkward.

auldfuckingspinster · 03/08/2016 17:44

Have requested that pics are taken off.

Yellowbird54321 · 03/08/2016 18:32

C'mon Mr X read your bloody messages!! vicariously enjoying the romance

auldfuckingspinster · 03/08/2016 19:23

Pics have gone, phew.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/08/2016 21:40

For anyone making comments regarding photoshopping, I know auld very well IRL and can confirm she has amazing youthful skin and no need to photoshop.
