Flirting radar very rusty: help needed!

[Wellthisisunexpected]

I'm recently separated after a long-term relationship, 2 kids. Very amicable, just grew apart (short version).

Over the last year I've struck up an unlikely friendship with someone who comes into my home regularly. He is doing a job for me and so there is obviously a power imbalance here. I'm under no illusions that I am a client and this may be skewing his behaviour and my perception .

We get on like a house on fire. We share loads of interests and he laughs at my crap jokes. He made me a Spotify playlist last week which made me come over all funny.

Im still not sure its not just my fervid and overactive imagination.

WtF do I do to flush him out for sure?!?! I don't want to make a tit of myself.

Ooh, I love threads like this!

Ah. I appeared to have killed the thread

Thanks Vitalogy

I'm anticipating this could be turned into a Hollywood movie. Priest's daughter all alone after recently seperating is sad. Through her job as a film director she invites musicians to audition. Falls in love with one, he makes her a playlist and he agrees to a date. They meet and fall madly in love. And then . . .

What instrument does he play ? I am thinking piano, or guitar ?

Ooooh have you seen Keyra's thread?

Hello! I did see Keyra's thread but I didn't see what happened in the end... did she end up with the gaffer or do we not know?!?

Well I will be honest and say it did not go as I was hoping 🤔.

Teen had been to their dad's and was returned late... ex still here when lush muso turned up. That was not part of the scenario I had planned and lush muso just seemed very . I did make it clear that teen had come back from a different address (!) and that ex definitely did not live in the house but it was all still a bit weird. I wanted to bloody kill him and tried to get him out the door but I wonder somehow if ex knew something was going down.... we are amicable but he has a machiavellian and very possesive streak.

I've since had a short text exchange with LM but a) initiated by me and b) finished by me...im prone to reading things into people not responding but have given my head a wobble and told myself firmly he is probably just busy hopefully not attending 3 church services back to back

Arf at the film script. It's him that is the priest's child though, not me, sorry to ruin the narrative! The idea of my dad as a priest... he's a Geordie socialist, the idea makes me laugh!

I'm a bit concerned that LM is from this highly stable religious background and I am divorced with an ex floating around. But hey, cant help who I am and where I've been....and he is late 40s like me so the chances of him scoring a vestal virgin are surely slim

Sir Vix: cello.

Cello ! How heavenly.

Sorry didn't go as planned.

I wonder if he thought ex and you might still be together? Or did he not know you had a child? Though you would think meeting a mid 40s woman you would expect previous relationships and very possibly children. So would guess worried you were still involved with ex.

I think lots of people are very busy around now so wouldn't read too much into that. Hope it gets better.

And a Geordie Sociaalist priest would fit brilliantly into film, don't want any old boring priest

Hopefully not too heavenly, but yes, it is a beautiful instrument to listen to and also to watch being played. There is a lot of movement, it is quite a physical instrument. I don't play, I play viola, but am tempted to take it up because it is so very lovely.

You can get a cheap cello for about $400 but delivery here will probably be megabucks. Maybe I could borrow his ;)

Ah OP, that's a shame. Timing! Are you going leave it now to wait and see.
