I'll try and keep this short. Great building company has been doing work in my area for the last 6 months. Have chatted with one particular builder regularly, have gone in and had a look at the new build etc. I am not the only one to do this, they have been friendly with everyone in the area. I have some work that I need doing and asked this builder to come and quote. He came today and had a look and got my number so he could let me know his availability etc. he also mentioned that were finishing up this week and I said what a shame. He now sent me a text saying "Are you going to miss me now that we're finished? x" He knows my husband, seen me regularly with my 2 kids and while I've been friendly, I definitely haven't been flirty. Have no idea how/if to respond and now feel I can't have him here to do the work I need. I can't can I?

Defo not.

Very unprofessional too.

Also, dont respond.

If another question is asked, mention that your husband has been using your phone.

No I wouldn't use them now. But he obviously read something into you saying 'what a shame' when they said they were finishing.

Why did you say it was a shame? Sorry but I can see why he has interpreted it the way he has. What other reason would there be to say it’s a shame they are finishing?

They've been around so long that I suppose I said it because they've almost become part of our area which is quite tight knit. I obviously over stepped the mark but I really didn't mean anything by it.

I suppose also because I'm on the older end of middle age I really wouldn't expect this reaction from someone.

You’ve chatted to him regularly for six months, this one particular builder, then said it’s a shame he’s finishing.

He’s overstepped the mark but I can kind of see why, seems you’ve taken something of an over-interest in him.

Anyway, just don’t reply, I’m sure he’ll get the message.

Reply 🤣🤣 noooooo! So glad the mess is finished is there any trade sites you want us to review you on?

Yes he’s over stepped the mark. Don’t take it too seriously though. Ignore or just say no, glad to have space back with my family etc etc

Be professional, show him who’s boss. Get his mind on the job you want done. Ignore his wit.
