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

I'd just do what blindsider said - straight up and too the point. Whilst blushing and sweating. At least you'll be on the phone 😀

BastardGoDarkly · 04/05/2016 14:40

Ha! Brilliant! I'm useless at scripts, I'll leave that for someone better, but can I say how unreasonable you are being, that you do this just before the school run?!

TrafficJunkie · 04/05/2016 14:41

Haha it was now or never!! He goes on annual leave tomorrow!

I'm so over invested!

ThisIsTheRightTime · 04/05/2016 14:56

OMG TrafficJunkie! You are fearless and amazing. Go girl!

Is your heart racing?

And I agree with BastardGoDarkly! Doing it before the school run is most impressive.

TrafficJunkie · 04/05/2016 15:00

I'm nervous!! I'm worried he'll think I'm a toon!! But I have to try! The way forward is to be bold and unafraid. 😊

Being a toon worked for Jessica Rabbit Wink

I bet you are on an adrenalin rush Traffic!

ThisIsTheRightTime · 04/05/2016 15:03

I have to go out shortly but will be rushing back to my computer in an hour and a half to find out...

Qwebec · 04/05/2016 15:04

Eeek! I've gotta leave for work, but I wish you the best! You are quite brave. Star

TrafficJunkie · 04/05/2016 15:05

I just hope he calls soon so I can get it over with!

Him: the office said you had a couple of questions?
You: yes. 1. Are you single, and 2. Would you like to meet up? If the answer is no to either, that's fine - I just figured there's no harm in asking.

Him: oh, err well yes!
OR
Him: ah well I'm flattered but.... (Whatever the no is).

You: great! When are you free?
OR
You: ah shame, well you don't get if you don't ask. Worth a try eh!? Thanks for the great work on my house. ByeSmile

OnceMoreIntoTheBleach · 04/05/2016 15:08

And then you either start planning your outfit or you chalk it up to experience. Either way, he works won't end Wink

Good luck!

TrafficJunkie · 04/05/2016 15:18

Haha. 😃😂😉 I think I'm more of a psycho doing this

HeckyWithTheGoodBear · 04/05/2016 15:19

Good luck Traffic! Fingers crossed it all works out Grin

LiquoriceAllsorts86 · 04/05/2016 15:24

Wow! You're much braver than I am!! I really really REALLY hope he's single and wants to go out with you op!

MsMarvel · 04/05/2016 15:25

Just caught up on this and now im nervous for you!! Why hasnt he called yet??

DarrenHardysDrongo · 04/05/2016 15:35

Does he work direct for your HA or does he work as a contractor/sub contractor?

hooge · 04/05/2016 15:39

Oh this is so exciting! Did they say he would definitely call back today?!

ThisIsTheRightTime · 04/05/2016 15:40

Come on Mr Electrician! Grin

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 04/05/2016 15:40

If he was rushing to another job, he's probably too busy to talk to the office right now. No stress, you're ready when he does call.

Best of luck :)
