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??

So, Wednesday will be a different matter, he's seen me at my worse (and my worse undercracks) already, so the only way is up! So to speak!!

Beauty salon booked and the Barnet will get professional attention. What to wear? Any suggestions? Femme fatale angle?

You go girl!

Subtle dressing is the way to go - something that looks effortless and chic and understated no idea what this is, if you do let me know!

Fab thread

sourdrawers · 18/05/2015 19:11

Slut boots and a cape?

He probably timed that three hour wait!

It has to be slut boots or heels.

CheekyWeeGandT · 18/05/2015 22:13

Yaaaaaaaaaay! It is so exciting. I'm looking forward to the update on Thursday after Wednesday night

LittleMouseontheDairy · 18/05/2015 22:52

Ok focus people, focus. Wardrobe important... well not really as you obviously fancy the pants off each other but let's pretend
Dark jeans (skinny?) and white t-shirt and nice jacket? Means you can accessorise with earrings/ boots/ bracelets without it looking OTT?

Goodbetterbest · 18/05/2015 23:41

Skinny jeans can be a bugger to get off in a hurry. Wink

Goodbetterbest · 18/05/2015 23:42

Sourdrawers, you are my favourite MNer. Grin You rock.

heylilbunny · 19/05/2015 07:29

Roll on Wednesday!

sourdrawers · 19/05/2015 07:41

Skinny Jeans??? Oh no - with my arse?? Going to Sis's house tonight to give her the full story, might borrow maxi dress? What do we reckon to that?. Tempted to ask her DP to pick me up. That should keep 'im downstairs guessing a bit eh? No? Just kidding, that's not my style.. I don't think!

Woke up after 11 hours glorious kip - feeling fab, now getting nervous again. I've just remembered, his last GF was mid 30's.. Imagine if/when he clocks me nude?? FFS! No I'll have to call it off.
