I fancy the plumber. HELP!

557 replies

Recently single 26 year old Mumma here.
This particular plumber has come over twice the past 2/3 months to help with various things around my rented place.

He is is absolutely stunning. In his 30's. Three children. Not with the mother, but no idea of any girlfriend. Lovely to my very chatty, curious 3yo (obviously having seen her when fixing up the place).

I am sure there is a little chemistry but I'm not sure if I'm projecting. Something in the way he mentioned me being a full-time Mum, the smile on his face as he left and mentioning he's not with the mother.

He's said he'd keep me updated with various bits that need doing. Everyone says to see if he followed through with this but I can't eat or sleep properly. I feel like a 16 year old girl again!
I don't wanna step on no ones toes, but I also don't want to waste an opportunity.

Advice?!

Fingers crossed 🤞 I will be keeping an eye on this one.

@Superpanicky

If this works out I think your three-year-old deserves some sweets for helping you get it off the ground Grin
If this works out, she can have all the sweets she likes lol!

@lunalulu

Hmm how can you with lockdown? I think might have been better to say boiler broken as that's permitted ☺️
Socially distanced walk in the park? We have a shoreline walk near us too :)

Shamelessly placemarking Blush I’m sure there was someone on here a few years ago who had a similar situation with her builder and it turned out very well

This made me smile. Hope it works out. Do come back and update us!

Placemaeking too. Hope it works out though i’d be curious re 3 kids, not with the mother and absolutely stunning combination... he might be a bit of a player, hope i’m wrong!
