I'm having a lot of work done on my house so am getting a heap of tradesmen through.
The first cab off the rank was a really nice Croatian guy who was working on my roof.
He chatted and chatted - I know most things about him, he has an 18 year old son, he's divorced, he wouldn't be working on Saturdays if he had a gf, am I single, etc etc.
Then he pulls one out of nowhere and says "you are very beautiful".
Now, I have my moments, but that wasn't one of them. I was working too, I hadn't even got a comb through my hair that day.
He then called me the next day (which I didn't get) then knocked on my door, out of uniform, on his day off.
He said, didn't you get my call? I'm like, no (I still haven't combed my hair). He said, I called to tell you I was coming back to pick up my secateurs (which he had left in my front yard in plain view...could've just grabbed em).
Anyway he came in, had coffee, chat chat, left again and I haven't heard from him since.
WTF? Just being friendly? If not, why didn't he ask me out or call?
The guy would be over 50 (age appropriate for once).
I give him a lot of credit actually. He was testing the waters to see how receptive you would be to his attention before he took the risk of asking you out.
It sounds like you gave him the message that you aren't interested, so he has stepped back.

What kind of coffee was it??
Idk... Maybe he thought to himself while chatting over coffee....
"She never combs her hair! Wow! I bet Moses couldn't part THAT hair!! I'm out!!"

I have to agree with this here.
A guy is only going to do so much. If she isn't responding back the yeah, must not be interested.
And no, I wasn't what you'd call "receptive", just friendly. I can flirt, but not when I look like I'd gone through a gorse bush backwards.
Damn, is it that easy to put them off? Fragile creatures.
ETA: nescafe instant, my favourite.
The guy made every attempt to hit on you.
Makes me feel like if I live with a woman I will NEVER hire a crew to work on my home.
Wow. And women complain that they can't get men to talk to them (not specifically you).
I am guessing that you did not flirt one bit, or show him much interest.
What he did IMO was very forward. And very unprofessional. Regardless of the day of the week.
But, be that as it may, he certainly tried his best short of grabbing you and giving you a smootch.
I have a feeling if you had flirted with him at all, he would have tried.
I don' know about you, but it makes me wonder how often these guys 'stop by on their day off to pick up tools' on all of their jobs.
Kinda creepy if you ask me.
