Flame Aura Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 You did not make an ass of yourself.. but your posts in this thread are so cringe, I would say they are making an ass out of you. You come across as such a scaredy cat of everything. What do you have to lose by knocking on his door and saying thank you for fixing my lawn mower? If anything I would consider it rude to not even do that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
loversquarrel Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 For everyone claiming he fixed the mower because it was loud, he wanted to help, etc., I disagree. Unless someone is my friend I dont fix anything for them, especially another guy. Now a pretty woman who I would like to get to know...yep all day long. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I lived across from a guy for several years and we never acknowledged each other. Then one day I was out in the front yard with a hand saw sawing a limb into smaller pieces and he came over with his chainsaw. He was definitely not interested in me. He was just being helpful. Still that doesn't mean that guy isn't interested in her. He very well maybe or he might become so if she is friendly to him because why not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
guest569 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 No, sounds like you did fine! He sounds very awkward haha! The whole thing is strange to me as an aussie. We normally would "have a yarn" at some point in 3 years. The fact he didn't smile or make any small talk, then just left it fixed in the drive is hilarious. I think its nice that he fixed it. But I would probably just drop around and say thanks and try to have a bit of chit chat. Baking seems over the top. Might be like pulling teeth though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Saracena Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Personally, I'd take his good deed as an opening to return the favor. Even if baking isn't your strong point, I'd make an exception, or at least find some way to let him know you appreciated what he did for you. Exactly. Showing actual appreciation is the way to go here. You have a brilliant opportunity to do so, so use it to your advantage. All you have to do is thank him SO much for fixing the lawnmower. It makes such a difference to how it runs now etc etc (Not sure what he did exactly, so adapt this to the actual repair etc.) Big smile.Anytime I ever did this with current SO (genuinely meant) he was really chuffed afterwards.... Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
