I fancy the plumber. HELP!

[PawPatrol24]

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?!

Do you really fancy having to pay three lots of child support for the next 15 years?

OP just to calm your nerves, the plumber I know goes to bed super early because they're usually up at 6 to collect supplies from the warehouse before getting on their way to jobs. So try to get some sleep, I'm sure he'll message in the morning.

Tbh I wouldn’t have texted him this late bit booty call-ish!

@PawPatrol24 - I had the same scenario as you; gorgeous plumber rocked up to do some work in my home. Sparks flew. Felt like a teen again. We've been married for 3 years now! How can I not say that I have a good feeling about this for you?! Lol! Can't wait to hear the next episode!

@PawPatrol24 is that the right names/street names you've posted? I'd maybe get that post removed/edited.

Ooh I hope it goes well for you OP!

(If that was your real address and names you posted then maybe ask for the comment to be removed as it could be outing)

Why would OP have to pay this guy's child support payments?

I am so emotionally invested in this now! Shy bairns get nowt as my grandma would say, good on you for asking! 💪🏻

Bit outing op if those are your real details

@Diverseduvet

'Hi Dave, I've sprung a leak I can't control. Hope you can pop over soon as it's all pretty wet over here at the moment!' Good luck OP

This is a great first message, plausible deniability and carry on charm all rolled into one 😆

How exciting!

Apologies. I realised afterwards I'd left personal details in one of my replies. Reported it so hopefully, it will get removed.

As for it being bootycallish. I wasn't asking for a shag, I was asking him out for a drink lol XD

Aww this is lovely, fingers crossed he texts back first thing.

The only thing I will say, and please don't think I'm trying to piss on your fireworks, my ex was a plumber, and it was approximately 2 years after he left that I discovered how many womens waterworks and pipes he had been servicing - while we were married.

Just do as many checks as you can for a significant other etc, which I'm sure you will anyway, and then jump in there and get your pipes serviced!!!!

Also reported how identifying your text to him is, in case you feel uncomfortable about it!

Just texting in the middle of the night gives off a certain vibe anyway as others have said I would check there is no girlfriend etc

Oh you're single. Get him fucked. Find out later

Texting at 10.30 is not the middle of the night! I mean it’s not early. But it’s not crazy late

Good call on checking his WhatsApp photo.
I love a man that works with his hands!

I love this. Keeping everything crossed for you!

Texting a stranger at 10.30 is odd, yes friend or boyfriend no but a stranger I wouldn’t have, she did ask if it was too late

I guess like most things there's no hard and fast rule. I wouldn't find it odd.

All the best 💞

Oooohhhh, fingers crossed.

My plumber's coming out on Saturday..........sadly the sight of his ever present arse crack would put paid to any thoughts of him ' plumbing my depths ' so to speak 🙄

I think the fact he mentioned he wasn't with his kids mum was a good sign.

DP has a manual job (and is hot) and one customer mentioned more than once that it was just her and her 2 kids. He was asking me because we've had conversations around how rubbish he is at seeing when someone likes him (like me!). I said she was definitely mentioning that for a reason. I was proved right when she called his work to ask him out 😆.

He was also my workman (different job back then) and that's how we met. I also messaged him when he'd finished as it was a long job and we'd chatted loads. I was a bit flirty and we'd messed about. He thought he'd made a friend 🤦‍♀️.

Good luck!

Well you'll know if he's interested soon enough.
