I fancy the plumber. HELP!

PawPatrol24 · 19/01/2021 22:06

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?!

Here for an update!

Gingerbeerfear · 20/01/2021 07:47

Well I’ve just started dating a plumber! Be warned the good looking ones get a lot of attention but don’t let that put you off. Hope he’s genuine and hope he texts you back Smile

@CraftyYankee

Wasn't that the GEG thread, green eyed something, gardner maybe? I think last I heard of that poster they were married and she was pg. 😇😁
No way! Really? I loved that thread
MissSmiley · 20/01/2021 07:54

OP wake up and read your texts!

ShyAmy333 · 20/01/2021 07:56

Ilovenewyear · 20/01/2021 08:09

Also need the update 🍿

PawPatrol24 · 20/01/2021 08:10

Wow. This has blown up massively! Was not expecting this!

So it's passed 8am and he hasn't replied. Kind wish he'd at least been kind enough to say no, but I suppose these are the risks we take, right?

OP if it's his work phone he might keep it switched off overnight. You'd be surprised how many people text and call tradesmen looking for quotes in the early hours!!

PeggyHill · 20/01/2021 08:14

I think it's way too early to call it. Give him some more time.

MrsSmith2021 · 20/01/2021 08:14

Not everyone replies straight away. Maybe he wants to send something quirky? Good luck!

PawPatrol24 · 20/01/2021 08:16

Thanks guys. I've never found the nerves to do this kind of thing before. I dont know what to expect so overthinking massively XD

OP posts:
Misspacorabanne · 20/01/2021 08:17

There's still hope op. Smile

pumkinpopsickle · 20/01/2021 08:21

Hopefully he's just waking up to it now and will reply soon!

shamelessmcshame · 20/01/2021 08:27

He's probably having a blazing row with his gf over the message 😆 I'm only joking, keeping everything crossed for you

Pebbledashery · 20/01/2021 08:32

I'm so invested in this thread.. Keep us posted op. Hope it works out for you xx

CausingChaos2 · 20/01/2021 08:45

I hope he lets you know although I’d be cautious too. It’s very convenient for him to have met you like this and he could be meeting many women the same way. I had a similar situation, felt a bit of a spark, except he contacted me after the job. I ended up being really into him when one day he was meant to see me and just didn’t turn up. I later found out he had a child he hadn’t told me about which threw into question everything else he’d said.
