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??

He's probably on another forum updating them on the situation! :o

Just relax.

Magmatic80 · 17/05/2015 17:10

Is he posting on his own thread? 'That gorgeous woman upstairs who dropped her knickers on my balcony has asked me to fix her tap'

You are awesome by the way

I would love to read that thread.

That gorgeous woman upstairs who dropped her knickers on my balcony has asked me to fix her tap. At first I thought it was a heavy handed metaphorical hint - you know that it was her way of "dropping her knickers" to let me know she'd be interested in "dropping her knickers". I kind of thought that at first but she rushed off so fast it was like Usain Bolt in a lingerie department.

Fortunately, like Cinderella, she'd left a pair behind. I took them upstairs and she looked all cute and relaxed and I was hoping she'd ask me in but she virtually whipped them out of my hand and slammed the door in my face. So I thought I'd got it all wrong. Next thing I know she's on my doorstep looking fabulous asking me to fix her dripping tap (I'm a plumber btw so that wasn't a euphemism). I'm completely confused by her mixed messages. Women eh?"

If you want to go home OP don't be afraid to! Nothing wrong with leaving him wanting more either if you do like him.

AccordingtoMe · 17/05/2015 18:04

Hopefully the start of something beautiful for the OP Grin

sourdrawers · 17/05/2015 18:04

Oh no don't say that.. He's not the poster type, and he'd never heard of Mn.. Home now and he's coming round for dinner at 7 ... Bloody hell, wtf have I done? Pasta Carbonara it'll have to be. FFS what do I do make up wise/wear? I have to do something but not too much???? Stockings Sussies? FFS no, silly old bat what the hell am I saying?? Bet he's going to be late , if he'd got here on time he could have had his fucking Pasta and pissed off. I could always feign a blackout or when he says something funny spurt my wine in his face and cackle like Babs Windsor...

This is the best thread ever! Loving it. Can't believe he's coming for dinner. You are inspirational, OP! Smile

sourdrawers · 17/05/2015 18:13

Leggings? Skirt ? I have to make an effort no? But not look like I don't give a toss.

OP posts:
DrinkFeckArseGirls · 17/05/2015 18:17

Skirt only if you i tend to shag him. I'd say leggings

sourdrawers · 17/05/2015 18:18

I'm not Cheeky, honestly not being modest... I'm a total nob for letting it get this far.

My neighbours are orthodox Muslim families, single mum, 2 single women and a couple. FMN.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 17/05/2015 18:19

You might get a bOyfriend out of that. Or at least a shag. Have one for meHmmGrinWink

sourdrawers · 17/05/2015 18:22

leggings yes, it shall be and what else?? .. No way I'm shagging him, not on a Sunday night. I'm usually snoring an hour after Songs of Praise anyway. I'm so nervous, honestly, I wish I'd thrown myself off the bloody balcony

OP posts:
Four125 · 17/05/2015 18:27

Leggings and a shirt/big t-shirt, minimal make-up.
If he lives on the ground floor he's seen you put your bins out in your pyjamas.Grin

Hope it goes well OP

MagentaVitus · 17/05/2015 18:27
