And would you do anything if you could completely get away with it?! Mine is my daughter’s swimming teacher, he has the sexiest smile and is so good with the kids. Totally gives me the flutters but I’m guessing he’s not into overweight bespectacled women in their forties! Grin

Son’s teacher from last year. Son is HF autistic and ADHD and this man was just so so good with him and treated him as if he were his own.

Sadly I can but dream the held eye contact is him being interested but it’s 100% not as usually it’s been to convey something about my boy - plus I look like a fat potato and he’s married....but if it weren’t for that....

Think we should keep this thread going strong - people need the distraction

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 12:01

@Allaboardthemagicbus Absolutely!

Ladies, we may need a radical change of attitude for the situation we are in now.

Our ideal Toms have gone into quarantine or lockdown. A radical re-think may be necessary. Our #MrRightToms are unavailable. Could this be the moment for #MrRightNowTom?

Think the Blitz spirit. Think living each day as if it is your last. Think #proximityTom.

Within limits, obviously. But if he has a twinkle and a stash of toilet roll why not?

I've got a crush on someone in the office but he is way too young for me Blush

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 15/03/2020 12:29

Ha! Blitz spirit! Any port in a storm, eh?

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 12:54

@silentpool

Many Toms are #youngToms. Mine included.

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 15/03/2020 12:58

Steady on, Sucking

Soapytoad · 15/03/2020 13:14

My Tom stops at nothing to keep teaching. He’s soooo committed. I actually do believe he makes extra effort with me because we have such a great student/tutor rapport. I’m not very good at what I do but he knows how much I love the whole thing and how enthusiastic I am! I think he likes a challenge. I think that’s definitely the thing about all Toms is that they like a challenge!

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 13:15

Not that young!!!

He's in his mid 30s!!!

I meant YOUNGER Toms!!!

@earlgreymarl I love him so much. I think he feels the same for me. But we say nothing. We hide behind our faith and we will not be sinners. I am married, although not sacramentally. He is not. Had I met him and not be married I am certain that I would discern marriage with him. I have never felt this before, when you have so much pure love for someone but cannot outwardly express its. We will remain brother and sister in Christ.

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 15/03/2020 14:53

@threesecrets

A Tom should be a welcome distraction to the monotony of daily life.

You sound as though yours is more.

Overthehill65 · 15/03/2020 15:00

The Surgeon who treated my husband. The sight of this 6'3" God standing behind me in a blue scrub suit, dark hair on his arms telling us the operation had gone well!! I couldn't even look at him let alone come up with a decent sentence.....just about managed a 'thank you'. I decided there and then if I died and went to heaven on the way home I would die a happy a woman..... seen him once more still the same reaction which I suspect happens a lot when he's around the wards??

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 15/03/2020 15:02

@Over

Ha.

Funny how surgeons have that effect.

#competencetheory

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 15:08

@Overthehill65
Is he single? #competentTom

@threesecrets
What is your marriage like?

Overthehill65 · 15/03/2020 15:12

Unfortunately not. Had large gold wedding ring on....I am crew and work for a major UK airline so spend a lot of time with 'men in uniform', but dear Lord there is no comparison to that sight.....

Overthehill65 · 15/03/2020 15:16

Marriage is fine, just a one off I think.....wont be seeing him again!!

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 15/03/2020 15:19

It is competence. You know when politicians visit hospitals and roll their shirt sleeves up to the elbow.

Well, for that brief moment even they can appear attractive.

Intelligence and calm in a crisis = Tom alert

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 15:42

Hmmm, should I stick with #militantTom or look for a new #competentTom.

It isn't even a tough decision. Grin

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 15:43

@Allaboardthemagicbus2020

No, that's just the arms thing again.

#randombodypartTom

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 15/03/2020 17:18

Oh yes, of course.

Momentarily confused there.

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 17:21

#competentTom + #sexyarmsTom is a deadly combination.

My #disappearingintothesunsetTom has arms like pipe cleaners.

Soapytoad · 15/03/2020 21:45

Hands! Oh the hands...

Chocolateandamaretto · 15/03/2020 21:50

My GP Blush possibly due to his kind and competent response recently when I spent half an hour sobbing on him....

Makingatitofonesself · 15/03/2020 22:34

NC for this as its outing. Not real life but sort of I guess. I have a crush on a youtuber my age. He has a patreon level where you can ask a question and he'll reply with a video. He said my name four times Blush I died and promptly asked him a bunch of stupid personal questions unrelated to his content and then stopped my patreon and effectively ran away, as I felt like I'd asked him too many weird questions. Now he knows who I am and probably thinks I'm a massive creeper. Grin now that tier of patreon is sold out and I'm gutted I can never redeem myself.

I'm not usually one for crushes but I feel like a right idiot now.

SuckingDieselFella · 15/03/2020 22:38

How would that be outing?
