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??

Maxi dress depends on the weather, if it's raining you may end up with yards of wet fabric wrapped round your legs, walking like you've peed your pants!!

Skinny jeans with a long floaty top is a look any shape can pull off stylishly Smile

Squeeee!

If the youth of his previous gf is an issue, how old are you then, duck? You come across as somewhere in your twenties.

Place marking Smile you're awesome op.
Maxi dress sounds good

LittleMissIntrovert · 19/05/2015 16:05

I'm intrigued what are slut boots?

CheersMedea · 19/05/2015 16:56

just like the puns. MN rules

Lwej - me too! Puns o'clock.

Do you think the plumber will take the plunge on Wednesday?
Will OP be flushed with success? Or plumbing the depths of despair?

wideboy26 · 19/05/2015 17:00

Those puns sound straight ouf of Homes under the Hammer, Cheersmedea! They would normally be followed by "You can find out....later in the show!"

sourdrawers · 19/05/2015 17:01

I was thinking knee length black skirt, black boots, cream colour, v neck sweater combo? That ought to shiver his timers what do we reckon. Too much?? Desperate??

Shit it's tomorrow night! It felt ages ago yesterday.. Why the hell did I agree to this?

Outfit sounds classic and chic. Think you'd feel comfortable wherever he takes you. Neither too much or too little.

Goodbetterbest · 19/05/2015 19:59

We are all on your side. We'll be there with you. You will not be alone.

No pressure like. Wink

Handywoman · 19/05/2015 20:02

I always think jeans, boots and Killer top are a good combo

Smile
TRexingInAsda · 19/05/2015 20:07

But has he fixed your tap? not a euphemism ahem or maybe it was

Anyway, the most important thing about your outfit for tomorrow is how easily it comes off (just in case)! And how awesome you feel in it. Good luck, you'll have a fab time. x

spad · 19/05/2015 20:11

I am properly excited for you! I hope it goes really well!

Have you been texting since Sunday?x

Trebushay · 19/05/2015 23:03

Sounds like a great outfit let us know how things go (in great detail)

Deedeecupcake · 19/05/2015 23:16

Loving this thread!! :)

You're worried about him seeing you naked. Please don't, he's a lucky man. Enjoy yourself.

Ashbeeee · 20/05/2015 06:36

Boots good, but ankle socks or knee length? Imprtant choice as has a profound affect when de-shoeing in preparation for evening of post dinner snogging coming home.

andadietcoke · 20/05/2015 06:50

A man once told me when I was similarly worried about being naked that no one really cares what you look like; they're just delighted you're naked. Have a lovely time tonight. Hope it all goes well.

Seconding the above. When DP and me first got together I was a nervy about him seeing my wobbly bits and stretch marks. Whereas he was just excited about a real live naked lady who wanted to have sex with him. I don't think he'd have batted an eye if I turned green halfway though!

Roussette · 20/05/2015 07:52

Just wallow in your femininity and forget about any lumps and bumps and to be honest those women with perfect bodies are more likely to be the ones obsessing over a tiny mark or a broken nail - men love a woman who is --outwardly- secure in her body.

Enjoy your date! Sun is shining here, maybe a hint of a cleavage should be on the cards tonight? yours not his of course !

Chipshopninja · 20/05/2015 08:49

Good luck tonight op x

spad · 20/05/2015 09:20

Yeah, good luck! Enjoy it !
