Should I ask him up here?

Look I know it's Sunday and the sun is shining.. But pleease I need some encouragement . I posted my story on 'what's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you?' thread yesterday and feel it's time to look wider for help.

Cutting long story short - bloke I fancy lives in garden flat below me. Pretty sure he's single, another neighbour reckons so too. Me, hung washing out on my balcony (mostly undies), windy day, they all flew off and landed in his garden downstairs. I plucked up the nerve to go down there ask him if I could get them, he agreed very nicely offered to help. I refused it and sprinted through his place, to garden, picked, (I thought), all my washing up and was leaving hurriedly, managed to catch bra strap in door handle, they all fell on his floor and I banged head on his living room door. I gathered up all items again and ran home burning with embarrassment.

Day later, knock on door, I answered in old jogging bottoms, filthy old vest, and cat shit, litter tray shovel in my hand. It was him, with a pair of my huge, grey baggies in his hand. He gave them (lovely smile) to me, and made a witty remark. Told me his name and that he's a plumber etc.. I, through half-opened front door , snatched nix off him, in tears of embarrassment. He left saying if he found anymore he'd bring them back..

Anyhow couple of days on and I'm calm and looking incredibly gorgeous, his car is downstairs and I have leaking tap. Should I ask him up here???? If so, how?? WTF do I say??

'It's going to be the interestingly short skirt, black tights & boots, sweater with high neck over underwires. Has to be sweater on top if underwired beneath, as do not want the scaffolding visible. Lets daylight in on the magic. There are ways of displaying your tits without displaying your tits wink. The boots plus short skirt route offers a bit of leg without showing anything.'

Sound familiar?

Hmm
Waltermittythesequel · 23/05/2015 09:14

Very similar...

ALaughAMinute · 23/05/2015 09:16

This thread was amusing at first but now it's just weird! Shock

DoorToTheRiver · 23/05/2015 09:17

I thought there may have been a bit of embellishing in the story telling but it didn't enter my head it wasn't genuine until a poster mentioned the OP mentioned 'her' DP in another thread.

I still thought it was harmless though and fairly entertaining.

But I'm now inclined to think it's a bit sinister from a bloke with a few issues. I would have thought if it was harmless intent as the thread is still running the OP would have either come clean or carried on posting in a 'I know I've been rumbled kind of way' and posters may have played along.

I think the disappearing OP means they weren't just having a silly story for a bit of entertainment.

Boilers

whole thread

Don't worry OP....I finally threw out the f*head I'd been with for 18 years who had affair after affair, his long term squeeze had his child too, (which was nice).

I was alone for 6 years until I met someone, who's now my gorgeous, hunky DP, 2 years ago and I'm 48. It just happened, as I'm sure it will for you too. Best years? Pah! They're in front of you, take it from me.

This proves that this thread is bolleaux in any case.

Lweji · 23/05/2015 09:41

I don't care, I still enjoyed the puns.

DoorToTheRiver · 23/05/2015 09:41

Psippsina I don't get it, it's just weird. Why make up a load of bollocks? The offering of 'DP' to look at that woman's boiler is creepy though.

What have MNHQ said?

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 23/05/2015 09:47

That pant-smelling one is seriously suspicious.

Psippsina · 23/05/2015 10:03

It's just fantasy isn't it. Whoever it is gets off on thinking about women's underwear, so he creates a big old story about it.

Gives him a sense of power I suppose, that women believe him and he's therefore free to talk about 'women's stuff' without people going 'Oi, fuck off, weirdo'.

I don't know though, I'm not the one writing it.

I haven't bothered coming back to this thread since it first started, but out of curiosity I thought I'd have a quick read this morning.
It reminded me from the first few posts of the thread about the 'hunky' builder who was wearng matching denim.
I haven't RT(WHOLE)FT yet Blush, will do so now.

shirleybasseyslovechild · 23/05/2015 10:15

I said it was a wind up from the start.
Knickers blew into handsome single plumber's garden?
aye, right

DoorToTheRiver · 23/05/2015 10:28

Psippsina I get why a weirdo would post about knickers if he's got a fetish or some weird shit.

What I don't get is a lot of the OP's posting history seems very normal although I've only skimmed through. I don't look at a posters history before I post on a thread but I gather some posters do so I realise some point to building up a posting history if you're going to post dodgy stuff. It's just a lot of posting history if you're only creating it to make yourself seem plausible.

Not that much posting history TBF. Many posters have FAR more even in a week or two let alone a few months.

However I think this poster enjoys posting about normal stuff too. Even weirdos have other interests.

I don't think the entire point of everything they have ever posted, has been to groom us all so that we think they are normal everyday women, iyswim. Some of it, yes - there will have been a consciousness that other posts may be checked, so the story has to 'match' in some regard however earlier stuff doesn't add up, vis the one about meeting 'her' 'DP' a couple of years back, posted in October.

Probably thought no one would remember that.
I don't check history before I respond. If it's something like this, I might have a brief look, but I avoided this thread till a day or two ago, not thinking it looked very interesting from the title, and it was Saga whose posts I first read, which led me to check it out.

There are so many posters on here now that most people are unlikely to recognise a 'name', and just read the thread and take it from there.

DoorToTheRiver · 23/05/2015 11:20

I just saw over 400 posts and thought it was quite a lot in their history. I've just looked at mine and including previous username I've posted between 150-200 and lurk more than I post so I suppose 400 isn't that many really.
