How do I make him notice me?

205 replies

Shayelle · 23/09/2017 07:18

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 Sad
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 Smile

Sorry its just been quite subtle so its hard to explain, in a way. Maybe its absolutely nothing and ive totally imaginined it ... time will tell, as it always does.

I love this!
He's probably thinking "I wish she would notice me" or wondering if you're single and there's a whole thread about him online! Tell me where to go so I can go and put in a good word with him for you.
hopefully his partner is just a business one and hasn't left him in bed for the past few days waiting for him when he gets home

My friend who is really good at reading people said he seemed really shy when we were there the first time!

Tell us where he sells the coffee, one of us goes and tells him you like him, so he'll know and might do something about it. Or not.

Also... I'm sorry as I never meant for this thread to get so long or to waffle on so much. All i really wanted was to get some knowledge on how to get him to notice me!! You've all given me a massive boost and now I feel confident about going to chat to him!! (Thank You! X) As soon as he's there I'm going to. Im ready with the chat!

Shayelle I was being sarcastic. What I mean is, what can anyone do for you in this situation? Nothing.

Rooting for you OP 😁

Aw this is a cute thread! Just keep buying coffee from him, saying hello will become natural after a couple of times. You don' t have to ask him out straightaway. Good luck and keep us posted! Brew
