Looking for love can be quite a daunting task. Some people prefer the more traditional methods such as going out to pubs, clubs and other places hoping to get lucky and meet that special person. Some rely on friends to fix them up with someone who they know, and arrange a kind of ‘blind date’ scenario.
Other people go for the more modern approach, internet dating being the most popular. There are many websites now that are dedicated for the sole purpose of finding your soul mate. Some might be a bit pricey though and put people off.
Now, you might want to use your initiative and find your own way of attracting your perfect partner. It all depends what you are looking for in your life-long lover, as to how you go about it,
So you have to admire a builder who decided that he would take matters into his own hands to find romance. Actually, he needed an apprentice as well to teach them his trade so that they could help him at work. He had a sudden brain wave to combine the two! Why waste time on writing out separate ads when you can get both for the price of one!
Now this man (called John) did not have a list of qualities, traits or preferences for his potential paramour, no indeed! As long as they were female and between the ages of 30-40 that would do for him! What would he offer in return?
A ‘craft that would change your life!’ Now there’s an offer you can’t refuse! Whether your life would be changed for the better or not was not stipulated, as John is a man of very few words, and even fewer emotions it seems. although no-one could doubt the fact that he is obviously extremely practical and economical.
It would be wonderful if John found himself the apprentice/partner/lover that he wanted, but I am not holding out much hope!
Oh how romantic! 😀
I wonder if he received any response?

Lol I thought he was looking for a labourer first and, well, great if she can be a lover too. He’s prob got his own cleaning business and needs some cheap labour 🙂

“For a craft that will change your life.” Now if that isn’t a sketchy come on line, I don’t know what is. But it doesn’t conjure up pleasant images.

She couldn’t have been that keen on the rest of him either then as that seems a bit of a flimsy excuse!

He sounds like a pretty straight-forward, efficient guy. All good qualities, but his strategy needs a little work. Hope he finds love….and an employee. 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
