AIBU...cant stop thinking about this man.

[MyNameIsIKEA]

I just cant stop thinking about this man. I've never really ever seen anyone thats made me feel this way based on looks.

So a few week ago had some stuff removed from the garden. OH left some stuff in the front that the guy was loading into his van, while I was in the back garden sorting other bits. When the guy finished he walked through to the back garden and that's when i first saw him.

The most breathtakingly handsome man i have ever seen, i had to actually take a deep breath, totally blew me away. He was tall, naturally athletic build, the most gorgeous olive skin, brown eyes, soft short light brown curls on his head, i noticed his hair was thinning a bit on the back but it really didnt matter just showed maturity.
He was a cross between a maori rugby player and a love island contestant. I was tempted to say something as he was wasted doing what he was doing. He was wearing a plain black tshirt with black trousers and work boots but looked amazing. He walked passed me and I felt so shy, he looked at me and acknowledged me and said hi, i said hi back, i was absolutely mezmerised Everytime he walked past he would leave a trail of his aftershave and his smell, i loved it. It was raining heavily and it was mucky work but he just looked even better with rain dripping off him and mud all over his top (not in a pervy way, just looked so effortlessly beautiful). I made small talk by saying sorry for not being much use, he smiled and replied i was useful. When he finished i asked if he wanted a coffee and he said yes. He started making small talk asking where im from and it turned out we were from the same area and he lived not too far from where i grew up. I didnt want him to leave.

OH paid him and he shook his hand, the guy waited for me, waved and said bye. OH told me to save his number on my phone for future work. I now find myself looking at his whatsapp dp quite often.

AIBU feeling like this?
Have you ever experienced something similar?

Im not pervy or the desperate housewives type. I cant quite understand why i just cant stop thinking about him. The first 2 days were non stop nut it been 2 weeks and i still find myself thinķing of him.

I completely understand this!
I think it says something about your own life sometimes.
Maybe feeling a bit bored or unsettled.
Years ago (I wouldn't have the energy now), there was an engineer at my work who I just went weak at the knees whenever I saw him. I had little love hearts in my eyes like you see in cartoons!
We were both separated and soon to be divorced and our relationship started with mad, passionate sex and it was fantastic.
For about 2 months this continued but all of a sudden went really wrong and I realised there was no real substance to it and his wife, despite not wanting him back at all was furious that he had met someone else.
Recently, we have been back in touch and I absolutely can not see what the fuss was about!
He's also really racist and shares all those awful things about illegal immigrants getting loads of money and houses when they come to the uk etc!
I'd been in a really unhappy marriage when I met him and I reckon I was not thinking straight

It’s your instinct telling you that you just crossed paths with the love of your life.

Where's the op gone?

Maybe reclining on her chaise longue with some smelling salts.....

Every time he walked past he left a trail of his aftershave. I loved it. It was raining heavily.

Were you out in the rain with him. How could you smell it indoors?

Perhaps you could sniff a few aftershaves in Boots? Track it down and buy it for dh.
Remember those ads- the Lynx effect. Women went wild over the smell. Maybe it was Lynx Africa.

@MyNameIsIKEA your post reads like a badly written lonely old woman’s novel. Get a grip.

First, do the decent thing and move on from your OH. How would you feel if he did this to you? Alternatively get a grip and work on your current relationship and delete the guy's number.

I can't decide if this should be in a Mills and Boon, Barbara Cartland or Jilly Cooper novel - I guess where it goes next will decide.

I remember walking along the street with my friend in the late 90s. A shop worker was setting up a display outside his shop. He turned around briefly before going back into the shop and we both turned to each other like "what WAS that?" Had to go into the shop and buy something just to get a proper look. He was so beautiful I could have cried. We talked about him non-stop for a week then got over it.

@mccavitythethird BTW there is no 's' in Te Reo Maori. The plural of Maori is Maori.

I know. A problem of mixing two languages and using neither properly

Chemical attraction. Good to hear it is still alive. The chances are he is also married. Nice fantasy. Just enjoy it as that.
Also, start a fantasy where you did gwt together but he turned out to be really mean with money, never shower, and his house is a tip. Or something like that. And now you are stuck with him.

Chemical attraction.

Also known as lust!

When unhappily married to ex we were at a wedding evening do and i saw a man on the dance floor who I had an uncontrollable lust for.We had met once before in passing.I said hello as he approached me and impulsively kissed him on the cheek.Not the usual way I greet people! I was unhappy though but god that attraction was raw.

Is your name Constance?

@SauvignonBlanketyBlank

Is this a Mills and Boon short story?

That's an insult to Mills & Boon

Enjoy your fantasy, why not? But confine it to that, for the sake of your husband.

Nice thought, it could be possible I suppose.
