Was he flirting with me?

[muchtooshy]

Here is where I make myself sound so stupid because I really don't know! I am not used to men noticing me and I have a bit of a (HUGE) crush on a man who works in a shop nearby. Generally he chats a little but there tend to be others around.

Last night I popped in on my way home and the shop was almost empty. He said hello and started talking to me. Remembering my mumsnet advice I smiled and was friendly and tried really really hard not to make myself sound boring. I paid for my items and it was almost like he wanted to keep the conversation going until one of the girls who works there came back.

I know it sounds so playground! But I really like him and am really shy. It is probably crazy to have a crush on him as I know hardly anything about him. I just don't want to pop into the shop more often on the chance of seeing him if he thinks I am just some dull customer.

Not enough information.

But it's a good start.

Sounds like a nice beginning. But I'd have to see the CCTV, with audio, to make a judgement

I posted on your previous thread. I think YES, he probably was.
It's heading the in the right direction...take the plunge!

Go for it. Make yourself look effortlessly nice and keep popping in for milk setting yourself a target each time to say something more. Smile lots.

Keep going and strike up a rapport with the guy - enough until you feel comfortable asking him to go for a coffee (less full on than dinner) or even a movie?
Well done!

Talk about some exciting, upcoming event, or some regular social thing you go to. If he expresses interest you can say "well, why don't you come along..." etc.

Baby steps in the right direction maybe - I didn't start rambling like a crazy person this time.

I will have to make sure I don't pop out for milk looking like a scruff!!

I just doubt that he likes me because he really could do a lot better so I don't want to be obvious and to end up embarrassing probably both of us.

This is positive!

Don't do yourself down! I remember on your last thread you said his wife was really attractive, etc. Well, it didn't work with her, did it?

Keep chatting and being friendly and very soon he will start looking forward to you popping in!

I look forward to seeing him - think I must be crazy! I mean it could be totally one sided.

I don't really get noticed by men and don't get asked out. I don't know much about him really - well I know that he is well thought of and kind and helps others but I don't know where he lives or how old he is or anything like that!
