To text plumber

[Animals2024]

Hi

I had a plumber come to my house the other day, extremely kind and helpful. Basically I really fancied him. Would it be strange to text him to say thanks for the job he did in the hope he might reply?

Is he single?
You're not my friend are you?
Same thing just happened to her.. fancying her plumber..
But she found out he was gay.
If he's single.. ask him out for a coffee.

Any more plumbing needing doing?

No, it's not appropriate.

not sure if single :(
maybe I’ll leave it - no more plumbing needed

Nooo, don't do it. How would you feel, if you done a job at someone's house and then started to text you... definitely not appropriate.

You'll have to break something and get him round again 😌

I'd do some online sleuthing first to see if you can spot a wife or partner.

Haha sounds like a 70s porno. Yes drop him a text, mentioning his "pipe". If he's not interested he wont be offended.

Text him, nothing lost nothing gained and all that.

You could just send a safe kind of text saying I’d like to say thanks very much for a great job etc. If he replies saying no worries, and nothing else then that’s your answer (he might not be single)

I'd send a safe text saying thanks and see what he replies and take it from there

What else is he going to say other than thanks? He wouldnt assume it was a come on so OP is back to square 1.

Thanks everyone

Blouson I’m not too sure if that might be too much although I am laughing 🤣

If you have his name can you find him on social media?

Perhaps then you can see if he has a girlfriend or wife?

If not- I don't see the harm! People have to meet somehow.Did he give you any inclination he may feel the same way?

Not really, he could turn it into a chat if he’s interested. Why is it likely he will only say thanks? If he’s interested he will say more

A thank you text is not going to get you anywhere
You’ll have to think of another plumbing job that needs doing.

Could you do with an outside tap for example? A small inexpensive job.
Then find out more about him when he pops round to do it.

fwiw, I sent a thank you text to my plumber and his wife who is basically his business partner, does his admin etc. So texting “thank you” isn’t weird as such.

Maybe I’ll just go for it, although I doubt he feels the same. I’ve searched Facebook but only know his first name and no luck so far. If he doesn’t reply I’ll have to find a new plumber haha

Oh just go for it, something breezy

thanks for a great job well done, if you fancy a drink let me know.

if he says no or ignores you, fuck it, what have you lost.

A man doing this to a female plumber would come across as a creep. Equally, a man hitting on any woman in her workplace.
It's not acceptable if it's the other way around either.

Don't do it. It's not professional

Surely you can find his surname. Look on the website for the company he works for or business name at companies house? Be more Vera

Course it is. How else is anyone meant to strike up something with anyone.

I'm another one in the 'don't do it' camp. Unless there was very obvious flirting in person then I don't think it's fair. He is someone who has come in to do a job, if he has done the job and then left without giving you any sign as to whether or not he's single, never mind whether or not he might be interested in dating you then I think you need to take it at face value.

How is it not fair? Is he going to be offended that someone fancies him? Do people live their lives afraid of taking a compliment or someone admitting they're attracted to you.
