So....can I ask my electrician for his phone number?

[TrafficJunkie]

Or is there an etiquette which means he's not allowed to do that sort of thing? :)

Go for it. You'll never know until you ask.

I assume you would already have it?!

If he's not in a relationship then definitely . But if he's not interested do you have another electrician? Good tradies are hard to come by.

Keep us updated

Hahaha.
No he worked for my housing association so not his direct number, and I can't ask the office. That's weird 😂😂

He doesn't have a ring.

How does one ask for a number? I've never approached a man in my 31 years. They've all come to me. (Yes...I'm THAT sexy. Haha. No.)
And how does one handle the rejection? When would be an opportune time to do it; say better when he's about to leave? What if my kids are here - best not to then I guess?

Not wearing a ring doesn't mean he is not married or in a relationship though. But, if you ask and he is in a relationship, I'm sure he will be very flattered

Of course I know that. (Not rudely meant by the way!)
Well he has to come back next week to finish the job so perhaps I'll ask then :)

I think I would just casually ask as he was getting ready to leave 'By the way, I'm not sure if you're available or not but would you like to go for a drink with me sometime?'

It sounds so easy written down 😊

aww did you have a lovely spark? A real connection?

just ask, nothing ventured nothing gained!
You could ask if he has a card ....a "friend" was asking for recommendations for electricians

Haha.
Yes that's true. I'm just not good with the embarrassment after 😊

I'm now living with my electrician! (it's seriously, well handy)
He did the chasing though.
Go for it!

ok. I'll give it a go. :)

electricians never wear rings for fear of electrocution/ shock Please ask and report back!

I don't know what would be less embarrassing - finding out he is married, or finding out he isn't interested!

One thing laways hold me back is thinking I'm not attractive enough to ask for numbers - how do i get over that hurdle? Just do it? Eek.

Don't overthink it, just ask. It's no biggie

He finishes off the job and while saying goodbye you just say 'shall we exchange phone numbers?'
Done!

It is seriously handy living with an electrician, it's true

I asked mine out - go on, do it

Do it!!!

I would just say as he is leaving, "thank you so much, actually can I grab your number in case I need anything" then send a flirty text afterwards - rejection is easier (if that happens) via text!

^^ Do as Twirlypoo suggests.

Personally I wouldn't ask directly as some chancers will go for it whether taken or not. You can usually get round to the subject in a round about way and then if the coast is definitely clear then go for it.

I guess it isn't really. :) I'll post an update after he's been back. :)

I'd do a lot of chatting while he's working, looking for areas of common interest and seeing if you can create a reason to see each other again that's linked to that common interest. Then you have an objective reason to ask for his number: "Give me your number so I can contact you when I next go fly-fishing / when that band is in town again / when my walking group organises another outing."

You know, the way you'd flirt with anyone, whether at a dinner party or bar, or indeed while they fix your electrical installation.

Just try talking to the man. Strike up a conversation about anything and see what happens.

As long as he isn't my DP go for it!!!

As previously said above, it is very handy sometimes having one about.

You'd better hope it's him they send to finish the job then.

Have their been flirty vibes between you as he's been doing his work?

Would be a shame not to ask...could be the start of something lovely..l
