I haven't seen the farrier for A WEEK!

DO NOT TEXT!!!!!! Only because everyone texts, it is impersonal and cowardly, and you want to stand out as DIFFERENT - welly dances and nipple tassles notwithstanding! Your mother is obviously on your side - always a good sign. He TALKS to your mother - even better sign. I am still in favour of "end of day" haybale picnic amonst scattered rugs in end stable! Please,please please......just DO IT!!!!
 
I think you need to bite the bullet and ask him out!! There is that certain amount of time to do it in, and if you leave it to long you may be "just friends" FOREVER!!!! Duh Duh DUUUUHHHH......

It all sounds very promising from what I have read so far, I think he sounds a bit too shy to ask you himself! Or maybe he likes very dominating women :P

The moisturiser in the eye sounds like a cunning plan! :)
 
Starzaan,

Please from an old bird who was the one who bit the bullet and asked out her OH (who admitted years later that he would never have had the balls to ask me out as I seemed so sorted and happy.... and he had no idea that I fancied him......work that one out)

Please just pick up the phone, say "Hi its me, I fancy going out for a drink next week and I would love your company how about it"

Heather Bambi is right too much longer and you will end up in the hinterland of Flirty friend!

The man likes you.....no man will text and flirt as much as he does if he wasn't interested.

btw OH agrees :-)))

That does sound like a plan to me :D
 
I still think one of you lot needs to use him, or just tell him I'm WONDERFUL in the extreme.

well i've tried but he hasnt accepted my FB request yet! and whats with this 'sort-of gf' thing?? i thought she was history. <sigh>

sooo, unless ur gonna go the direct route and ask him out heres a couple of indirect route ideas

send him a valentine card. i know its not valentines day but why be predictable?
send a card from your dog to his dog inviting him/her to a picnic
leave him a bottle of wine & 2 glasses with a 'fancy a drink' note
 
Don't hit me - saw farrier in question on Friday and he will be back on the yard Monday or Tuesday, can I pass any words on for you???

Doll yourself up and just go for it! :D
 
I got excited and ate too many M&Ms.

I've got the M&M sweats.

UGH. I disgust myself.

HOWEVER... I will try very hard to bite the bullet but it's bloody effing terrifying thank you very much. Normally I'm a bullet biter (that sounds a tad x-rated!!!)... but this time it seems to matter too much! I'd almost rather be in this land of extreme ditheration than living in reject city all by myself with no shoes on my horses.

If your OH went to college with him, bloody well find out what "sort of" means, and tell him you know some FABULOUS girl with a blind horse.

I need to lie down and apologise to my stomach for giving it so many M&Ms.
 
OK, plan B, C, D, E or whatever plan we are up to now.

What interests does he have?

Find the interest, find an event relevant to the interest, and ask him if he would like to go to it.

If he doesn't, you can always say never mind maybe another time, and if he rejects because he doesn't fancy you /the sort-of is actually a really/ the man is clinically insane, you can fall back on the "Oh my goodness, I didn't mean that as a date, just as I thought you might like to go as a friend... oh dear" line.

Simples...?

Which would also work if you were just asking him out for a drink...... :D

Tis a plan, Starzaan........ :D;)

Oo I like this one..

Sorry I been reading your posts for the past couple of weeks now and never written anything. Excuse me :)

The posts do make me laugh ;)
 
Found him !! HE IS GORGEOUS !!!! :D - soooooooo cute !

The only tactic here is to ask him straight away, no time to faff about with this one ;). Remember we're all right behind you, and there'll be some serious ass kicking if he slips away.....men as cute as that are a very rare breed :p

sm xx
 
Hello, my name is Starzaan, and I'm queen of DITHERLAND.

Men like him are a rare breed, he's so bloody LOVELY. I have recovered from my near overdose of M&Ms and am ready to face the day. Now I just need you all to spend the next four days telling me I'm beautiful and by Thursday I'll have balls big enough to leap up onto the mounting block, do the welly dance, and tell him I adore him.


Honest!
 
If he says no I shall stick my head in a bucket of whelks and sob. Then I shall pour whelk juice all in his van.

HA.

Starzaan, you do make me laugh! I find myself looking forward to these posts - which is a sad reflection of my own boring, 'gorgeous sexy farrier' free life. Ho hum.

You are great (that must have helped your b*lls grow at least a mm). Now get on & ask him out FFS.

I'm sure it won't come to this, but just in case......along with the whelk juice in the van, I have heard that a dead fish under the bonnet can be quite effective, not that I've used this myself you understand. Once the engine gets hot it really starts to smell & comes in the car via the air vents. A dead troutina would work a treat....just a thought.
 
Advice from a "more mature" woman.....The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!
Can you cook? If not, take lessons as a matter of great urgency. Winter is on its way and a steaming bowl of home-made soup will melt the heart of your dishy farrier for sure!!

Or just buy one of the posh fresh ones and LIE!

My farrier was once seduced (although sadly not by me) with a freshly made sponge cake filled with raspberries and cream!!

Men are nothing if not predictable. ;)
 
How rude!

Give me 5 minutes to get to the stomach first... then we'll see!

Oh I do adore him. He's the only thing getting me through the thought of going cubbing on an absolute nutcase tomorrow :D
