To secretly want to bump into the guy putting his rubbish out again

A couple of evenings ago, I was taking my dog around the block, I had my Dd with me.
As we were walking past one of the huge, beautiful houses, a guy with just shorts and flip flops came out (we’re not in uk) he was carrying a load of empty water bottles to put at the bins at the end of the road. We made eye contact and he said Hi, his eyes were amazing (sorry if that’s cheesy!
Last night I was on my own with ddog at a similar time and he came out with rubbish boxes and said ‘Hi, how are you?’
Do I go again tonight?

I think he may be on holiday in the villa as i’ve seen different people coming out of it over the years, but i’m not sure.

I have a Dp but we basically don’t have a relationship and he doesn’t treat me well (in the process of trying to get out of it)

I’m being ridiculous aren’t I?

Would you go?

Btw, I realise all of the above doesn’t mean anything at all and he was just saying hi 😂 but still

I wouldn't.
But I would use wanting to to really motivate me to stop being in the process of trying to leave my partner and actually leave them.

Enjoy the daydream.😍

Do it! You only live once.
I first clapped eyes on DH when I was 12 and he was 19 😍, he was my best mates older brother. She left for London when we were 17 and I didn’t see him again until I was 27. We were both in the same night club. I was extremely brave (pissed) and boldly walked up to him and said “I’ve had a crush on you since I was 12”!
We’ve been together for 27 years now and have 2 DS’s

I thought this was about my OH for a minute as he just went out in his boxer pants, no top and slippers with the rubbish.

No one wants to bump into him.

Yes go take another walk OP.

Chances are nothing will come of it, but if you get just a snippet of feeling good, why not.

tripleginandtonic · 21/06/2025 20:01

Why not. Seeing someone gorgeous can lift your spirits.

You're only human. Its a very scary thing to do.

But it must be just as scary to picture living out the rest of your life as you are now?

When the time is right for you one thing I know is whatever else people say about mumsnet, when it comes to supporting women to leave relationships they truly want to get out of, there's nowhere more supportive

LittlleMy · 21/06/2025 20:44

@Hopingforanearlynight yes go again - and if you don’t catch him, ring the doorbell and when he opens the door just grin and say “Hi, how are you?!” 😂

NerrSnerr · 21/06/2025 20:51

By all means go and say hi and leave it there but u think it’ll be rubbish when you have a partner and child. If you genuinely want a new relationship then end the one you’re in, especially when children are involved

Monty27 · 22/06/2025 00:18

@Hopingforanearlynight Get on with it. He's clearly flirting. Keep us posted. on the hot romance 😃
