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??

That's great. :)

So, when you're in the mood, you'll just drop a piece of underwear in his garden?

refraining from asking about his man garden

Awwwww loved reading this!!!!

shirleybasseyslovechild · 18/05/2015 09:39

I can't be the only person thinking this is a wind up ?!

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 18/05/2015 09:47

I am wondering shirley i have read a few threads like this over the years and some of them did turn out to be fairytales/plots for novels.

But the OP has history. She seems legit.

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 18/05/2015 09:50

And things like this DO happen! I met the two guys who shared a flat behind mine because they knocked on the door to say my overflow was leaking outside their window and would I like them to mend it for me.

I didn't shag either of them would really have liked to with one of them though but they did become good mates until I moved out, and we hung out in the pub and stuff.

it sounds like esiotrot lol

MilesHuntsWig · 18/05/2015 09:59

Wow, nice to see a nice story, hope it works out!

Penguinsaresmall · 18/05/2015 10:02

Don't see why it can't be genuine - surely if we all wrote down the stories of some of our first dates it would sound all romantic & lovely too wouldn't it? They usually are or why bother? Smile

Fudgeface123 · 18/05/2015 10:09

Willy cuddled?

Penguinsaresmall · 18/05/2015 10:11

Willy cuddled?! Grin

Lweji · 18/05/2015 10:12

don't care if it's genuine, just like the puns. MN rules Blush

Penguinsaresmall · 18/05/2015 10:13

Actually you've just reminded me, years ago in my single days I met a drop dead gorgeous man in a club, talked and danced all night, took him home (yes I was a tart Grin), where we did nothing but cuddle all night.

At the time it seemed romantic - but I realised soon after that the only reason he didn't try anything was that he was completely and utterly impotent Sad

hellsbellsmelons · 18/05/2015 11:11

This all sounds very promising.
And no, I am not place marking Wink
You go girl!

Littlefrenchmummy · 18/05/2015 12:43

Haha willy cuddled ! Grin
Yay for you OP

kinkyfuckery · 18/05/2015 12:55

Looking forward to hearing more...

Spydra · 18/05/2015 13:31

Details! DETAILS!

What a great outcome.

FuckFaulknerILikeTheGruffalo · 18/05/2015 14:04

Cuddling all night... Sounds like what you say to your mum after she caught you up to no good! Tsk tsk madam! Hehe Place marking!

LineRunner · 18/05/2015 14:29

My story with the hot builder is true. Sounds completely made up, but it isn't. We keep telling one of his friends how we met and he refuses to believe it - he insists we must have met on PoF. Smile

QueenBean · 18/05/2015 14:33

Ooh I love this thread!! Very nice work OP!

sourdrawers · 18/05/2015 17:36

Here I am again, hungover and totally knackered.. So sorry to keep you waiting. I had loads of work on today and Im know me and I just couldn't risk getting drawn in to MN as much as I was dying to...

So we had my fantastic dinner which he scoffed with genuine enthusiasm and managed to keep down! We drank 2 bottle of wine, talked lots: he was in the Navy, has all the obligatory tattoos too. Told me all about himself. More than a few tragic events in his life. Ok I've totally fallen for him. Snogging began about 9, so I managed to keep hands off him for 2 hours, record for me. Made myself clear I didn't want sex .. yet. He was very sweet, we cuddled together on the couch and went to my bedroom where I asked him just to hold me. We talked and talked and bits and pieces. of snogging. I dozed off about 4, woke at 6am looking like a badgers arse in a pool of my own drool..Told him I'm busy 'till Wed. total lie, but y'know how it is??

I texted him today and he back about 3 hours later - the arse! Taking me to dinner Wednesday...Wahay. More later if you're interested?
