With my neighbour 🙈

I just don't know what box to put it in, we're both single, I met his ex girlfriend (just hello)
I know where he lives Grinand that he has 2 children

Apart from that I don't know whether he sees this as a date, or a friendly neighbour thing or a sex thing!
I don't know how old he is
Or what his likes and dislikes are

I'm so out of my comfort zone
Please help me relax and breathe

Oooh exciting!!!! How did this come about? And is he hot?! Good luck! Where are you going? What are you wearing?!

halfwitpicker · 10/04/2018 18:00

As per gin's post

MozzchopsThirty · 10/04/2018 18:03

Aaarrrrggghhhhh 😬 noo help me!

Yes he's hot, I've letched over him for months
We're going to the local, it's lovely

We were talking on the drive and he said he'd split with gf
So I put a note through his door with my number saying 'if you fancy a drink'
He text me that night and said he'd love to

But it's like a total blind date.

He's asked if I want to go round to his to wait for taxi etc and I just don't know what I'm doing lol
I told him to book a taxi and I'll see him outside

ah that is definitely date territory! you'll be fine. deep breath and be yourself!

Dancingleopard · 10/04/2018 18:06

Does he live with his GF?

IsItTimeForGinYet · 10/04/2018 18:07

Even more exciting!!! Especially if you have been appreciating him for a while! Go and have fun and get to know him and obviously keep us posted. When are you off out?

RatRolyPoly · 10/04/2018 18:08

Eeee, exciting! Nice work with the number through the letterbox btw.

SleepFreeZone · 10/04/2018 18:10

Oooh, sounds exciting (though also a total nightmare if either of you try and ghost or move on).

Rachie1986 · 10/04/2018 18:10

Exciting!! When do you go?
Please update us on how it goes!!

DarkDarkNight · 10/04/2018 18:13

Oohhh exciting. Good for you, enjoy.

MozzchopsThirty · 10/04/2018 18:15

About 7.30 I think

Do I treat it as a date then?

No doesn't live with gf
He's moving out next month so even if it goes tits up it should be ok

skippykips · 10/04/2018 18:16

Im thinking date! Have fun OP!

MozzchopsThirty · 10/04/2018 18:16

I'm used the OLD (although I've given that up now after 3 recent disasters)

So normally I'd know age, likes & dislikes, job etc
I feel like I know nothing and it's terrifying

Do I pop round for a quick beer first?

OP posts:
RatRolyPoly · 10/04/2018 18:23

Ah, but this time... you know where he lives.

RatRolyPoly · 10/04/2018 18:23

Yeah, I'd go round for a beer, but then again I like beer!

RockinRobinTweets · 10/04/2018 18:26

Well this is very exciting for a Tuesday!

MozzchopsThirty · 10/04/2018 18:33

🤣🤣 I know!!!!!

MaMisled · 10/04/2018 18:34

My neighbour (single Dad with full custody) asked me to go to a retirement party with him. I didn't know what as....friend I guessed, slightly disappointed.

Fast forward 16 years and we're soooooo very happily married!!

Coincidentally, my DM also married her neighbour after being widowed at 50.

Good luck, breathe, have fun!!!

validusername1 · 10/04/2018 18:42

Oh gosh how very exciting for a Tuesday!!
Good luck OP, I hope you have a lovely night.
Very smooth with the number in the letterbox too 😝

MollyHuaCha · 10/04/2018 18:44

Ooh, looking forward to the updates.

Sunbeam18 · 10/04/2018 18:44

This exact scenario happened to me 8 years ago. We have a 4 year old son now!

Sunbeam18 · 10/04/2018 18:46

Well, almost exactly - messaged through OLD instead of the note through the door!

privateporcupine · 10/04/2018 19:02

I’m impressed by your balls Grin Can’t imagine ever having any that let me post a note like that. Maybe if my neighbour wasn’t a walloper

thisismadness77 · 10/04/2018 19:05

My mum married our neighbour... ;)

3stonedown · 10/04/2018 19:07

Good luck! My DP was my neighbour. I moved to his after 4 months and we've been together 5 years (and a toddler) now! Your thread brings back memories, all the same questions before the first date
