Are we just friends?

[Julia83]

Hi all, I've lurked for yonks here, but I've really not sure what to do now.

I've met this really hot guy, and we've known each other for a couple of years. We get on really well, he gets on great with Georgia (my little girl, she's 2 now) and we have fun.

The thing is, I don't know if he's interested or not? He's well off, he buys me presents, he always compliments me, tells me how good I look (and I love this as I didn't feel good after Steve left while I was pregnant) but he's never made a move.

What do you think? He seems an alright bloke?

Am I wasting my time with him, or could there be something between us? I don't want a quick fling, I want a long term thing you know.

All help gratefully received :)

Julia

didn't he used to go out with naomi campbell?

what a treat for the eyes he is.

i would say with that laugh, the nights out at the pizzeria and his droopy package, what's not to stay for.... revel in him. i envy you.

His wife is GORGEOUS. Wonder what she sees in him...

He must have a mahoosive bank balance sparkling personality.

I told you, he's charming :(

And funny :(

And gentlemanly :(

And kind, and generous, and so so warm when you meat him :(

when you meat feast him?

He is also the father of Heidi Klum's daughter.
Money is a major aphrodisiac!

It's not just money, it's his charisma :)

never mind Julia- you have ag reat future as a writer of fiction- or comedy.

I really doubt if he was poor anyone would even be bothered about him, then again I have seen some monstrosities on Jeremey Kyle, so who knows?

Roger you don't know him like I do :)

Really, if you did, you would see the beauty of him :)

He is lovely :(

What The actual Fuck?

i think you should move on anyway... may i suggest

this delightful man

i hear he's very discreet

Thanks blinks, but who is he?

After Steve hurt me, I've never been quick to trust men, I have to be sure they're committed to me. I suppose that's why I waited so long for Flavio :(

he's a lovely lovely man whose wife has kindly left leaving to door wide open for someone as loving as yourself to come along and show him how to love properly.

you may have to look sideways as he humps the staff but that's a small price to pay, innit.

This thread needs to get deleted before Flavio sues Mumsnet...

he should be flattered.

Why would he sue mumsnet?

I have said he is a charming, lovely man :)

It is not his fault I love him and he is married :(

I HAVE AN UPDATE!

You won't believe this!!!

The man I thought was Flavio has rung me, he told me he had a confession to make.

He tells me his name is Gerald, and he comes from Swanage! Apparently he pretended to be Flavio as people say he looks like him, and he wanted to impress me!

The photos he sent are not him after all!

Gerald says he's too shy when he's Gerald, so he often pretends to be Flavio, but all that pretending meant he never dared make a move in case I didn't like him as Gerald!

He says we might have a chance if I can love him as Gerald, not Flavio... but I don't know what to think now!

a fairytale ending.

I hope so but... it means he's lied to me for 2 years now!

This isn't a good start to a relationship. Steve was always lying to me :(

Juliet is cabbageroses though isn't she?

Isn't cabbageroses the gardener-shagging, horse-poo-picking-up Jilly Cooper wannabe?

They "read" the same, if that makes sense.

No no that was hedgewidow.

'julia and gerald' has a nice ring to it.

My apologies to cabbageroses!

I meant hedgewidow, the hedge fund widow. D'oh.
