I'm looking for some advice on a situation I've found myself in recently.
I'm divorced since 2016 with 3 children and have been single for the last 18 months after good advice on here to end things with my last boyfriend.
I've recently had some work done on my house and I've developed a major crush on the builder. It's quite embarrassing and I'm not sure if he just sees me as a sad middle aged woman or a possible girlfriend.
Possible signs of more to it are: He sends me texts about things that are really funny. Some not relevant to the work he's doing on my house.
He's really chatty
He didn't charge me for some of the work he did and refused to take full payment.
He offered to help me with some furniture assembly and then when I asked he came over on the same day and helped me assemble it and wouldn't accept any payment.
I know he's 5 years younger than me as we discussed his recent significant birthday and he doesn't have children.
I'm torn between waiting to see if anything happens and trying to make something happen.
Friends have suggested I get him to do more work on my house, but that seems a bit desperate! He is however due to come back to do a very small job but I even feel odd about that now!
Help me please with sensible advice before I make a complete idiot of myself! Perhaps he's just a nice, kind chap and any overtures from me will be an unpleasant shock for him!
