Every now and then he sends me texts like 'Hi, how are you?' or 'We'll have to meet up for a drink some time' or 'I'm in your local bar, fancy joining me?' I have always been genuinely too busy to go and meet him. I answer politely but I don't know how to take this. Do you think he is just being friendly or do you think he's after something more? In my experience, once the tradesman has done the job and got paid, that's the end of communication until you contact them again. Not sure what way to react. I'd gladly meet him if he was just being friendly but wouldnt want it to go any further. Any comments?

He's very attractive which is why I cant understand he'd be interested in me. Also, I'm not sure but I think he's in a relationship so perhaps it's a challenge for him. If I knew he was genuine and was a more confident person perhaps I'd meet him.

He sounds like a psycho.
Next text will probably be like, "I'm standing outside your front door with a large spanner, are you going to let me in for coffee?"

Why don't you try to get to know him a bit better via text? That way you can establish what his intentions are. At this stage, it sounds like he is just trying to be friendly however, i know very few men who don't have another motive on their mind when trying to instigate friendship with a random woman! Be wary of this and if you're not interested in a relationship or anything other than friendship with him, I'd steer clear because meeting him for a drink will probably give him the wrong impression.

I don't think you should pursue this man's friendship, you need to remain on a purely professional level with this man because he doesn't seem to realize that he's acting in an unproffesional way, if you really like him however ask him to go someplace other than a bar for a chat, prefferably around a lot of people, or go somewhere with friends, if he still wants to go his intentions may be just friendship, although I don't think thhey are.

If you are single meet him in a public place, ask yourself these questions. Am I attracted to him? What will it hurt if I meet up with him at least once? I think that that is very sweet what he is doing. Or text him back and ask him to call you to talk and ask him so what is all of these text mean. Good luck

Men virtually never look for mere friendships with women. When the account is settled, I never contact clients unless the cheque bounces.
Your plumber just wants to make an out of hours connecting with his filling loop.

Don't meet him if you're not interested - That's leading him on. Just say it's not a good idea your boyfriend wouldn't approve, Make something up if he questions the boyfriend ;say hes in the army or something. He's 99% chasing you or 1% after your floppy hat...

He's definitely interested but it's very unprofessional. He did a job for you, this doesn't give him the right to ask you out. Why does he have the ability to text you? I would text him back and say you're not interested.

Hello! He's a loony! Get a new mobile number! Most honest workmen will do their work, get paid and then leave, never to be heard from again. He is a loony stalker. Tell him to stop texting you, that you are not interested. If he keeps it up, change your mobile number.
