To think that he fancies me, and to tell him to BACK OFF

I'm a bit embarrassed about this, but I can't talk to anyone else about it.

I'm mentoring a student (he's about 25 and gorgeous). We have had a few meetings in Pret and we both enjoy wholesome, vegan food. So far, so normal (and dreamy)...

Anyway, earlier today we both chose the same sandwich... only there was only one left! Sad My mentee(?) looked me in the eye and said "well, I might be lucky next time" Blush I honestly didn't know where to look!!

I'm supposed to be meeting him and his tutor next month. I don't know what to do?!

It sounds like you fancy him.
Have no idea if it's mutual from what you've written.

How many vegan sandwich options are there in Pret? Poor boy is probably hungry for some falafel...

lurkingnotlurking · 29/09/2017 21:26

It can be but on the basis of this encounter, I would steer clear of jumping to any conclusions and telling him to back off :)

Madam, I am a doctor and I diagnose you with a massive (vegan!!) crush Grin your crushee's comment may or may not be flirtacious, it is impossible to know. You need to gather further info, clearly. Maybe also do some research into vegan-friendly contraceptives just in case Wink

I think you fancy HIM.

Littlefrogletx · 29/09/2017 21:29

Yeah definitely tell him to back off.

AlpacasPackOwls · 29/09/2017 21:31

What sandwich was it? I think that's important to work out if it's you or the sandwich he fancies

GriefLeavesItsMark · 29/09/2017 21:32

Pret does vegan food?

I think if someone's avoiding you it's very hard to deduce they fancy you.

InsomniacAnonymous · 29/09/2017 21:35

There was only one of the sandwich you had both chosen and he accepted that you would have it, but hoped to be lucky next time i.e. GET THE SANDWICH HE WANTED!

FFS

Hmm

PS. What's the matter with you?

Chewbecca · 29/09/2017 21:35

Pret does loads of vegan food!

SilverySurfer · 29/09/2017 21:35

I agree that it sounds like you have a crush on him. Don't tell him to back off based on your OP, you would embarrass yourself.

EarlessToothlessVagabond · 29/09/2017 21:36

Fashion him one of these then sit back and let the love flow.

conserveisposhforjam · 29/09/2017 21:36

It can't be hard to narrow the choices? Surely Pret can only have room for one or at most two vegan sandwiches?

UmaKilledWilliam · 29/09/2017 21:37

So he looked in your eye and not your tits? He wants to marry you.

Papafran · 29/09/2017 21:37

Pret does vegan food?

Yuh huh. It's yum.

PinkHeart5913 · 29/09/2017 21:39

I think you need a cold shower and to calm down love

You lost me at wholesome vegan food.

QueenBeex · 29/09/2017 21:41

You took the last sandwich and didn't even bother offering him a bite? No wonder he doesn't say hello to you!

Footle · 29/09/2017 21:44

It’s not clear who he ( allegedly ) thought might be lucky next time.
