Oh my god.. I can't stop thinking about the man who smiled at me twice and said hello whilst on his mower!

Was walking my usual dog walk and he was mowing the large piece of grass at the park. We noticed each other a 100 yards away. The first thing I noticed was his big thick beard... I absolutely love beards.. it's really my thing! He drove towards me and we smiled at each other, and then again as he rode past. We said 'hiya'. He had the biggest smile.

And now I can't stop thinking about it... ARRRGGGHHH! 😂

Plus do you know anyone who works for the council ?

Backthewaywecame · 25/06/2021 21:00

They do the park at the end of my road every fortnight so you might see him again if you time it right! Ask him to have a look at your overgrown garden if you’re cheeky enough (I wouldn’t myself!)

@Sootybear it was a beautiful moment! I do know one person but not not in that field...ha ha, get it? Field!

@Susannahmoody

Who cares if he's poor? He has a beard, is smiley and is a gardener

We luffs him

This comment passed the vibe check 🙂

@nolovelost

I like the Coke idea! He might think I'm implying that he's overweight with the Diet bit though?! Ha ha.

Think I'm gonna go with 'do you want to do mine?' He'll struggle to even turn on my grass!!

Is that a euphemism?
nolovelost · 26/06/2021 17:23

It's because my lawn is very small - he'd stuggle to turn his motor around!

I did this with my neighbours builder last year.

He was like a love at first sight dream. He said he had felt the same. Told me neighbour I was lovely.

I added him on Facebook. We fell in love and started planning a future.

Gradually started to realise he was a liar. A player. Loads of others on the go. Women he had hurt by leading them on like me. His ex was still in his life as a friend but he was obsessed with her still. Stuck in the pass.

But I remember those days when he was a mystery and everytime I saw him I had butterflies.

@Bluebellsinthesnow you're ruining my dream!

How exciting I hope you get to meet him again

I’ve been having sex dreams about a man at work. He smells so good, he talks quieter with me so I have to move closer to hear him. Last week I was a bit moody and towards the end of the day he asked if I was ok and I said yes I’m fine and he moved closer to me, looked me straight in my eyes and said quietly we’ll smile then...and he touched my arm twice and back once last week!! Now I’ve convinced myself he’s flirting with me. Last night I dreamt we had sex in his car 🤦‍♀️ Reality is he’s 10 years younger and he’s just a nice man who has a small kid and a long term girlfriend

Any update OP? I’m invested! 😂

MrsMaizel · 28/06/2021 12:17

If this is like the postman and the mechanic thread it won't work out .

nolovelost · 28/06/2021 13:39

@sunnyday24 no not yet?! Other grass near my street been done too! I'll keep trying. In the mean time I'm chatting to a guy online, keeping my options open.

And there's always some negativity on here isn't there? Miss Positive is me!

Oooh can I place mark too. I love a beard the bigger the better and sadly in real life have very little experience of it although it’s a nice dream/fantasy Wink
You definitely need to factor that park into your regular walks. If nothing you’ll get fitter for when you do actually start going out with mr gardener (being optimistic). Can you tell I’ve found lock down boring? And to those saying he’s poor he probably has a good pension if he’s in the council Grin

nolovelost · 28/06/2021 17:14

@Babymamamama of course you can! Grin

I go that way a lot, but going to go every day!

Yes I love it long and thick, I just find it so manly, the thicker the better!

You been single through lockdown? I've been chatting to another bearded beast, a guitar player - my dream. Still can't stop thinking about mower man though and his smile.....

Babymamamama · 28/06/2021 17:36

Ha! I like your description. Very evocative. I’ve only been single for the latter part of lockdown as (happily) split with beardless cocklodger father of my child. But that’s another story. I’m happily single for now but do enjoy beard-spotting for eye candy when I’m out and about. Luckily my area is fairly hipster ish (although I’m not) so plenty of choice of beards to check out. Passes the time.

Babymamamama · 28/06/2021 17:37

Yes you must go every day now. Just so you can report back if nothing else Wink….

nolovelost · 28/06/2021 19:27

Well you enjoy it! Happy beard spotting!

nolovelost · 01/07/2021 13:29

Got a feeling today's the day, can feel it in my bones! There's a rather large patch of grass that's needed a mow, since I noticed last week. I'm a grass stalker!
