The Plumber's Fling?
Laura asks:
Hi, I recently went out on a first date with a man I met. We met as I had a bathroom leak and he is a plumber that is my neighbours son's friend. He came round to my house a few times before our date to do some plumbing work. We eventually had our date. Things went well, but he ended up coming back to mine and stayed the night. We didn't have sex. In the morning he was quiet, but I got a cuddle and he said he would see me later on. That day I texted him to say that I was feeling rough and how he was doing at work. A few texts went by and I eventually said that I enjoyed the night and it would be good to see him again. He said yes but said he was really busy for the next week or so (works lots of overtime and has a kid, also going on hoilday), so we made a date for 2 weeks time. Have I made a mistake, does he think that I am just a fling?
If you have plans to go out again in two weeks it seems everything is fine.
You havn't made any mistakes, as long as you enjoyed yourself.
If things don't work out though don't worry it could just be bad timing for him. Keep your chin up and look for someone even better.
If it was just a fling and you had fun as well there is nothing to worry about.
Don't sit about waiting for this date, get out there and have fun. Once he realises you have other offers he will find the time to arrange the date.
If not, in the words of Sex and the City's Miranda, 'he's just not that into you'. Find someone who is.
