MASSIVE SCREAMING CRUSH.

[SoggyClothesAndBreezeblocks]

I've got a huge crush on the builder who's currently sorting out the kitchen. He's around the same age as me and he's adorable. I'm married for nearly 3 years and ds is 20mo. How on earth do you get over this sort of thing? Obviously there's no chance I'd do anything about it! But I also can't avoid him at the moment for another week or so.

Extremely scenic. He's lovely! Just a bit of banter flying about but he's quite awkward with me his dads there working today too (equally scenic TBH)

Especially for the Putin crushers

I have a masive crush on someone I work with - he's in a different department but comes down to ours most days. He has the loveliest eyes.....

My husband and I are v open when we are attracted to a third party so we have a joke about it & I think that makes it not-weird.

I had a massive crush on someone where both husband and I work, and when I did the seating plan at our Xmas party the year before last I put my crush sitting next to me and husband on another table.

Oh abe that's hilarious

In all honesty it was DH who pointed out SB's (sexy builders) good looks. He'd met him before I did and came home saying 'PHWOAR WAIT TIL YOU SEE THIS GUY'

My gardener is drop dead gorgeous, but as time as gone on, I've realised he's a bit of a twit. Enjoy the eye candy, it soon wears off. He'll do a dump in your downstairs loo or something and you'll soon go off him lol.

Soggy did you pretend you've no idea what he's on about - or did you blush instead? Nice to have such a confident DH!

Loup, ooh so it wasn't even that fleeting! See the flat shoes - that was serendipity! maybe THAT helped him to notice you among all the women in heels towering over him haha! Was this a while ago? I must say he's less 'on it' compared to couple of years ago. Ugh that video is dreadful - the guy got it completely wrong with his wiry weasel-style movements! Putin is very steady and upright

Special - the other way round here, my gardener has a crush on me. Very good looking for his age, tall bloke who had women swooning in his younger years, but he's too old for me (over 60) AND he's not very bright, he jokes about himself. I find innuendo and mid physical flirting - i.e. stading too close to me - cringey, but he's nice and not stepping over the line

*jokes about it himself

Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, I think it's kind of the norm with tradespeople.
PG - you probably make your gardener's day. I'd think of putting up with his crush as your bit for the community

yes I am putting up with it - he's very useful, gives me lifts etc! he's married btw so he can't complain I'm taking advantage of his crush without reciprocating. win-win really ha.

Regarding crossing te line, I think flirting is fine if it's light hearted rather than serious pouting and blushing tc! To me fantasising while sleeping with your DH/BF is crossing the line bt there is no way of the other party knowing that.

I have a huge crush on the new Doctor at work. He's cute with lovely eyes.

I always wonder if our crushes know we feel like that (talking of those of us who are not making any blatant moves)? I'd love to know how easy is it for a man to read. I think women do know, mostly.

LoveforPG yes it was quite a while ago, when I was young and glam and not addicted to fleece lined leggings! . Serendipity indeed . He was a heck of a lot more touchy feely than I would have expected and that my sanity could have coped with. Ex found it highly amusing, teased me all night and still teases me about it now (ex is still my best friend, and he and DH are good friends). There were only two other women there, plus ex was the ranking officer so I had to do a lot of social stuff.
DH is in such a huff about it he texted ex DP to ask him how he could have "sanctioned it".
Its very sweet, and handy about your gardener

DH says I have a high roller worthy poker face, ex says its obvious as my pupils blow - you have to be looking pretty closely fortunately, in most lights my irises appear pitch black and its difficult to tell them apart from my pupils. I think its easier to read if you're looking for it rather than oblivious, iyswim.

I thought I was the only one with a Putin crush!

In regard to the OP, don't flirt, he might make a move!

Bill Clinton, it was, wasn't it?!

I expect it's obvious to SB as I can't look him in the face for long without going red!

Loup oof even i'm getting flushed just reading it! He obv found you attractive, going by his GF he's into brunettes/dark eyes, I might be his type too haha. I wonder - was it before he had his 'facial procedures' or after? I think he looked a lot better after, for a while. I sort of had a crush on him too via TV before, but it's faded now .
So funny how the ex teases you and your DH is alarmed! how did yo ucope btw, did you try to make your ex engineer more functions etc ? Do you STILL have the crush?

I think I'm pretty obvious when I have a crush because I get flustered when speaking - or speak too much! Facially not too obvious IF I try to hide it (I don't always try). But my eyes tend to 'flash' involuntarily occasionally, not just the pupils - you are much better at it!
Men tend to be more obvious imo.

Soggy, I bet he is very flattered by your blushing!

Hahaha Love I have naturally very pale blonde hair though so I guess that's me out. Perhaps he thought I looked like something from Tunguska/The X Files? Perhaps he was worried I had escaped from a secret facility? I have olive-ish skin too and I've been told all my life its a bit of a weird/intense combination. DH used to say I looked like an "doll like alien". What a smooth talker . Yes I still have the crush .

soggy oh no!!! Still, must be very flattering, I bet he's secretly preening

Pale blonde hair and olive skin - you sound beautiful Loup!

I don't know if he's generally cheeky or what but the smile he gives me makes me think he's definitely preening and aware of it all. I'm a bit short and fat though so I doubt there's any reciprocity

Soggy thank you. I have a lot of visible scars though (except on my face and neck) which aren't pretty but which I don't bother hiding, I was gang raped in my early teens and they had knives, so more corpse bride (which is always my Halloween costume of choice ) than smooth skinned beauty. Still thank you .

I think you do yourself down soggy he's probably on buildersnet (is there such a thing?) posting about his hot client, but worried his Dad is outdoing him .

Sorry to hear that Loup I can't even imagine . I bet you're still gorgeous even so!

Buildersnet I hope so, that is hilarious! Maybe your crush is on WorldLeadersNet doing the same
