Asking a tradesman out after doing job

[userhelp]

Had a tradesman around to do a job, got on well lots of chatting about ourselves, life's etc definitely a bit of flirting, he even made a comment about taking me out at weekend which I kind of pretend I didn't hear as was embarrassed

Would it be cringe of me to text asking for a drink? I mean I figure I haven't ever got to see again if they say no 🤷‍♀️

We're both in your early 40's and single

Tradesman here, electrician (the superior of all the trades as we like to say😄) I met my wife through a job, as many of us do.

Went to fit a shower extractor light for her, she was quite flirtatious and cracked a joke about "you better not be fitting a camera in that light"

So a week or two later I was passing her house, called by, she opened the door with a smile and I went in with the retort "cameras out of focus, need to make some adjustments", both cracked up laughing, she invited me in for a cuppa. I took a risk with the risqué banter as she's a solicitor!!!

20 great years, 2 kids, dog and cat later...

I do recognise the ups comment about us getting nothing done at home though, our house needs a re-wire quite badly, but I just don't get time to do anything about it, so busy sorting others stuff out.

It’s a good opportunity for some smutty euphemisms, too!

Ohhh! A happy thread! 😀
Wishing you all the best OP - I hope that your date goes well!

I hope he's not called Trevor 😂😂😂

Fantastic!

Hidden camera joke is hilarious🤣

Love nice real life love stories like this.

Oh no! You don't want to acquire a bad boyfriend and lose a good plumber (if they're same guy).
Good plumbers are as hard to find as good boyfriends! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes! Pretty much. He’s plumbing skills were far superior to his boyfriending skills 🤣🤣. Now I have no plumber 🤣

@aCatCalledFawkes 😭😭😭 next time you'll keep your libido under control! 😁😁😁

I'm excited for you OP!

Dammit. There goes my five year plan to find a man who can fix all the little issues in my house 😑

Love your update, OP. Keep us posted!

Have you figured out what you're going to wear on said date? I think we should see some outfit choices so we can help....

<<way too invested in this date and should be working>>

ChinUpChestOut well I actually met him when he was going the job in leggings, sweatshirt, fluffy slippers, hair tied back and no make up so I feel like anything will be a improvement

I haven't really thought about it... jeans, and shirt or something were meeting Sunday afternoon in a town in between us for a few drinks and some food so smart/casual really

Any suggestions? I'm 5'6, size 8, blonde and early 40's if that helps

You sound gorgeous , whatever you wear. Have fun.😄

Wear good shoes. Belt is only slightly important and handbag not at all. [Source: DB2 who is a horny goat.]

Something blue...

Meghan Markle tip😅 Adds to the wedding.

Well it worked for her!

Awesome. Hope the date is fabulous.

You could always say something like, now when can i buy you a pint for having done a fabulous job, see what he says in reply, please tell someone where your going and that you will message when back home. Enjoy!

I’m dating my builder and I must say there are many unexpected benefits of dating a capable man who’s good with his hands. Those little jobs around the house are getting done, too…

Love it!

Go for it.

Promise us you’ll update this thread after your date on Sunday. You have to let us know how it goes!

ooh & I’d wear a navy blazer, white shirt, blue jeans & white trainers. Sexy & sophisticated

free or you found other ways to settle your bill? 😉. Very cute story. Pleased it worked out…go for it OP…

And no one got offended.

Lovely story @LovingCritic

People complain they don't meet anyone yet always taking offence to innocent jokes.
There's a fine line of course but so many choose to be offended by the slightest thing.

I want a hairdresser next time round.
