To message neighbour?

[Possomoppossum]

I've lived where I have for the past 2 years and recently a guy has moved into a flat underneath me.He seems single and the other day,passed me his phone number in the hallway.At first,I was a bit shocked and didn't think to do anything,however,we both appear single,why do I feel like this is a mistake ready to happen? He seems lovely,is fit and very polite,is it just too close for comfort if things go wrong?

Don't shit on your own doorstep. At least wait a good while to make sure he isn't a serial killer 🤣

I have never brought him into my owhome,just his when he is alone.I would never seek to upset my son or our dynamic.

But you have your son 24/7 so you're leaving him alone to go and shag this guy then? Yep, that's much better.

Just don’t get attached!

OK,my son is really 14,I just wanted to gauge opinion

Why would you lie about your son's age? That's really weird.

Personally I am finding it hard to see where I am the ahole?

Well actually being 14 is a bit different I think. Still a sensitive age though but definitely an age where a single parent can have a bit of a life (and obviously leave them alone). Still wouldn't shit on my own doorstep though, had the opportunity myself as a single parent, didn't go there and very glad I didn't as my crush didn't last long, and we're neighbours for several years.

Just wanted to keep details vague but if u see now,its not so weird to dissappear upstairs for 20 mins?

people are jealous OP. good for you, and so what what anyone else thinks. if he's fit, nice and convenient why not

So why do you need an ego boost?

And if he's not all that anyway, how is it even an ego boost at all?

He's walking around giving his number out to strangers in the hope of a shag, knowing if he keeps casting his line he'll get a bite.

'People are jealous' is such a lazy, unthought out reply.

You have no idea how much sex anyone on this thread is having, or with who, or how often.

But he moved into the flat below you…

Fair play to you as long as it's mutual fwb, enthusiastic consent, no red flags, protection being used and you don't catch feelings.
It sounds handy, practical, fun, a bit naughty and frivolous.
Enjoy it!

Goodness. Gives you his number in corridor case you fancy a bit- pop downstairs for 20 mins?

I thought you said he was fit and hot and the ego boost you needed, so it’s you punching? Keep your story straight at least.

I can’t see the issue but then I have no shame and would be 100% fine just pretending the whole thing never happened if it all went wrong.

How do you know people are jealous? This never makes sense

OK,so as not to be too obvious,I changed a few details.In reality,he is in the upstairs flat,my son is 14.I guess he is around 35 whereas I am in my 40s.When I said he was hot and it was an ego boost,that's true,when I was describing us,I would say that even though I was older,I was probably more conventionally good looking.I just changed a few bits and pieces but essentially everything is true.

If it was me I'd totally go for it. That's my advice. I'm 51 now and still do this type of thing if the opportunity is there. You only get one life and sex can be such a beautiful release

Thanks@Carsarelife ,after being with my son's dad for so long and now having a bit of freedom and just a bit of escapism gives me a little boost and something to bother to get excited about iykwim,just lifts me a bit

@Possomoppossum yep I know exactly how you feel. I always give it a try and to date none of my FWB have been one nighters which makes me feel slightly better. What have you got to lose? That's how you have to think of it.

Sounds great op!

Fancied a bit?

🙄

How are you not swooning?

The jealousy on here😂 go for it OP
