    Guys, please don't worry about me, I was about 90% sure it was a scam, but just wanted to check. Also, hopefully it will warn newbies to be extra careful how slick these guys can be.

    As they say...if it sounds/looks too good to be true, it will be!!!

    Tho still very tempted to reply back telling them I work for the Fraud Squad in the West Yorkshire Metropolitan police..hee! hee!

    Thanks

  • hmmmm, i need some help, and maybe a kick up the backside if you think im being totally dense!!!

    So, ive been having some issues with the house that me and the kids moved into a few months back, and the neighbours were having the same problem too so we were trying to tackle it together. They called a council department out to try and figure out where the problem was and how to remedy it, and when they came out i just thought OMG!!!! the guy was lovely, and i really REALLY fancy him!!

    He's been out 4 times now, and the problem still aint fixed (secretly shouting hurrah everytime he says they're no closer to solving it lol!!). I checked the finger the first time I met him-no ring lol!! He was really chatty, the issue is a drains thing and I said i hadnt noticed anything since moving in but had spent a lot of time out there sunbathing while the kids played over the summer (yes I WAS flirting!!) and he said not to say things like that or he'd be back to watch next year. He also gave me his card with all his details on, despite my neighbours having all the phone numbers already.

    He knows I have kids as he met them the first time he was out, and was very sweet with them, he makes a fuss of my son everytime he's out now, always stopping and asking what he's playing on/with, and said he's very intelligent spoken and that my kids are lovely looking and definately get that from me. Hes also dropped into conversation where he lives, how old he is, that he's in a house share. He was out again today, still trying to figure out this drain lol (long may it continue far as im concerned!!) and we were chatting about nights out soon, and i said my next night out will most likely be new years, and he asked where about ill be going. Of course I told him.

    My problem is I have no confidence, since my ex left ive had a brief fling, but nothing else, and I cant believe that a guy that I like would be flirting with me. The only experinece I have with flirting recently is with guys that are taken and should know better flirting with me very obviously. So my heads all confused, I want to think that he's flirting with me, but I just cant think why he would.

    He's also not the usual 'type' i go for, he's 7 years older than me, but theres something about him!!!!!!

  • @ zoesmum-why not give him a call and ask he fancies a coffee?

    Confidence wise, just think that if he is acting like this now, there might be something so your sort of half way there?

    Chin up lass and go for it

    Errr, yes!!! *KICK*
    So, ive been having some issues with the house that me and the kids moved into a few months back, and the neighbours were having the same problem too so we were trying to tackle it together. They called a council department out to try and figure out where the problem was and how to remedy it, and when they came out i just thought OMG!!!! the guy was lovely, and i really REALLY fancy him!!
    that's always a good start, to instantly fancy him.
    He's been out 4 times now, and the problem still aint fixed (secretly shouting hurrah everytime he says they're no closer to solving it lol!!).
    Hmmm, I wonder why it's taking so long to fix it....?
    I checked the finger the first time I met him-no ring lol!! He was really chatty, the issue is a drains thing and I said i hadnt noticed anything since moving in but had spent a lot of time out there sunbathing while the kids played over the summer (yes I WAS flirting!!) and he said not to say things like that or he'd be back to watch next year. He also gave me his card with all his details on, despite my neighbours having all the phone numbers already.
    ...and you're not sure he fancies you....why?
    He knows I have kids as he met them the first time he was out, and was very sweet with them, he makes a fuss of my son everytime he's out now, always stopping and asking what he's playing on/with, and said he's very intelligent spoken and that my kids are lovely looking and definately get that from me.
    So you know he's good with kids - this just gets better and better!
    Hes also dropped into conversation where he lives, how old he is, that he's in a house share. He was out again today, still trying to figure out this drain lol (long may it continue far as im concerned!!) and we were chatting about nights out soon, and i said my next night out will most likely be new years, and he asked where about ill be going. Of course I told him.
    You're not seriously gonna leave it and just hope he turns up on New Year, are you?
    My problem is I have no confidence, since my ex left ive had a brief fling, but nothing else, and I cant believe that a guy that I like would be flirting with me. The only experinece I have with flirting recently is with guys that are taken and should know better flirting with me very obviously. So my heads all confused, I want to think that he's flirting with me, but I just cant think why he would.
    Time to dig deep and re-discover that self confidence!!! Don't let this one get away without at least asking him to have coffee with you or something.
    He's also not the usual 'type' i go for, he's 7 years older than me, but theres something about him!!!!!!
    Look, one thing I've learned is that being shy and lacking self confidence has got me absolutely nowhere in life.

    This guy is giving you all the signs. He probably just doesn't want to push it because he's a nice guy and he's met you in a professional capacity, if he were percieved to have overstepped the mark he could get into trouble at work. Really, this has got to be down to you. What's the absolute worst that could happen? You could ask him if he'd like to stay for a coffee before going to his next client and he'll either say yes or no. If he says he'd love to but doesn't have time, then ask him if he'd like to come back later at a more convenient time. He'll either say yes or he'll come up with another excuse.

    Seriously, just go for it, be brave and go for it.

    Oh, and don't forget to come back and tell us how it goes...

    Good luck!

    I am a bloke, and from where I'm looking he definitely likes you. I assume his card had a mobile number on it?? If so, then send him a text saying it would be nice to see him in a non-work situation. The worst that could happen is that he'd decline, but still be really flattered and pleased to have received the offer.
