Well there's an update.

He was supposed to come back, I was supposed to call and organise a time.

Instead of doing that, I took y'all advice and sent him a text which read -

I should get someone else, I don't think I can be trusted if u come back???!!!

A couple of hours later, I sent

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.

Neither got a response, it's now been 5 days.

Not even a "thanks but no thanks"....just silence.

Men and boys who wish to get laid and can't....PLEASE EXPLAIN??????????

Why do this when a woman (you flirted badly with) musters up the balls to sms you?

I re-read the past 11 comments or so.
I would be really confused if I made the comment "If I have a beer that won't be the only thin I'll be screwing"
And your response, "Pardon"
would lead me to believe you didnt appreciate MY comment. As in, the comment about screwing offended you.

If you had lol'd, or smiled, or said many of orher even neutral type comments, I wouldnt be so confused.
You two were doin some flirting, and his comment was a little brash, but considering the situation, I get the idea you BOTH knew what was going on.

And then you sent the above text...
He is probably really confused now, and the window has passed for him. He probably doesnt know if you are teasing him. All that flirting before, and nothing happened.
To you, your text is clear, but to him, at this point you were/are flirting. And nothing more.

Sometimes there can be too much flirting. Especially when the flirting doesn't lead to anything more.

Chances are he does this often. The whole stopping by on his day off, the comment about screwing.... I get the idea he probably has more 'going on' than anyone realizes.

Ok so you're saying he's confused???

He's over 50 for God's sake. How confused can he be, he's not an inexperienced teenager....?

Even if he is confused, why no answer?

you're savvy enough and read this forum enough to know what the ol' text ignore means

he's just not that into you

if this was about another poster, not yourself, you'd see it in a second...

Oh I've seen that, don't worry. It's fairly ****ing obvious.

What I don't get is the open and blatant flirting.

He called me beautiful several times, for Gods sake! Asked me if I had a boyfriend, asked me who my painter was when he rocked up..."who's he?" in a tone that you know is over-interest.

I just don't get it...obviously I did get it wrong for the first time ever...the first time I break my own personal rule and attempt to contact him based on the MALE advice I'd gotten here....

it's almost as if there's no hard and fast way to know for sure aside from putting yourself out there and seeing what happens

Well no, I don't think he does do it often, if he did he'd have a gf...he's quite handsome if a bit old.

I know he doesn't have a gf because he told me. He also told me he wouldn't be working so hard if he did have one, blah blah.

Also, I did smile and lol. I do that chit all the time, I'm a happy type of person. I just didn't flirt back because I'm not one of those desperate housewife types.

I dunno.........

I told my friend about it she goes, "meh, move on" like its no biggie. I realised with a jolt that some women are USED to making fools of themselves with men.

Now I'm one of those.

how are you a fool? why do you give a sh*t what the friggen' handyman thinks?

your friend is right. you're basically doing the same thing as those poor bastards who come on here complaining about how hard it is to pick up women

try to take it as "his loss". shrugging off casual rejection is probably more important for attractive men to learn than attractive women but i think it will help you here

Cos I got the hots for him.

That doesn't happen very often these days.

I was the youngest and the only girl - I'm used to getting what I want.

Yeah yeah I know....selfish entitled self important, all that crap.

All I wanted was a shag for Gods sake, not his friggn skin.
