How do I make him notice me?

[Shayelle]

There is a guy I walk past on my way to work in the mornings. Over the last 10 months I'm sure there has been eye contact and a flash of something between us. One of my friends said when we walked past he's looked at me a number of times. This week I plucked the courage to go up and buy something of his but he didn't make any conversation
How do I make him notice me? I always make the effort with my clothes, make up and hair. He's gorgeous and maybe seems a bit shy. Help

What does he sell?

Why not just ask him out - women are allowed to do so nowadays?

Oooo more details please I assume he is a shop or s tall owner? Could you buy something of his and make small
Talk about the weather and or whatever it is that he sells?

Sounds like he's already noticed you. You should buy something from him again but try a friendly hello and start a conversation see how it goes

He sells coffee. Just feel like I plucked up the coursge to go and do it and he didnt say much!

Feel like a knob going back again and trying again. Im painfully shy and don't have the guts to ask him out. It took me a few months to pluck the courage to go to his stall lol. Pathetic I know. My hands were shaking when he passed me my coffee

Buy more coffee & just say hi how are you?

What's the worst thing that could happen?

Buy another coffee and as you pick up your cup, also give him your number, which you have already written down on a folded up piece of paper/card? That way you can scurry off if you're feeling shy. What can go wrong- I suppose the worst would be that he didn't phone you, but either way you'll make his day and at least you'll know where you stand.

Yeah. Its sounds all kind of small written down I guess. When Im there it feels bigger!!

I just like a wally though!!

Wouldn't you feel like more of a wally if you missed out on hooking up with the love of you're life? Feel The Fear & Do It Anyway OP!

And then tell us what happened

Omg haha... ill be walking past him on Monday. God!! I am so rubbish at this
I had written a little card to give him. Got too scared and threw it away!!

Why not start buying coffee regularly until you or he warms up enough to take conversation further?

Yes buy lots of coffee!

Just say "hi how are you?" & smile... that leaves it open for him to say something. It's not embarrassing to say that just friendly. Honestly he's not going to scream & run away is he?

Just buy coffee each day and build up the chat.

Yes buy coffee every day, say something inane about the weather, ask if he's been busy today, make a joke about something, say a bit more each day until you swap numbers. Eeeeasy.

Do you want to date a coffee seller?

So he is there, selling coffee every morning. And you walk past him.

The thing is, there's not much he can do in this situation -he can hardly spring out from his stall and flag you down as you stride past.

Why don't you start buying coffee from him regularly? It won't look weird or pushy - it's perfectly normal to find a coffee place you like and then go there everyday. After a few times of buying coffee, venture a remark about something. Conversation will either start to happen or it won't.

I don't think giving him a note is great at this stage - if he doesn't call, you will then feel mortified every morning when you have to walk past him. Just g and buy a coffee!

2014 why do you ask that?
Is 'coffee selling' dirty?

2014newmw and the bad thing about that would be..?

2014newme what a vile, shallow person that comment makes you look. Totally not in the spirit of the thread.

Ha elquinto, great minds!

Oh I love threads like this! I agree keep buying coffee and take it slow. You don't even have to speak at first, just smile and make eye contact and work from there. You'll feel more comfortable the more you do it and will be chatting before long I'm sure
