Flirting and croissants

[Diffident]

I'm a shy and relatively inexperienced (In relationships) early 40 something single man. I'm trying to get a bit more confident but not making much headway. I buy bread at the weekend at a kind of farmers market. To be frank I fancy the woman at the bakery stall.
I bought some croissants there the last 2 weeks running and she gave me 2 massive winks one as I handed the money over and one as she handed me the croissants.
I don't even like croissants. Is she flirting or just trying (& succeeeding) to sell croissants. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts

Flirting isn't the opposite of harassment. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Either ask her out for coffee or start flirting say she looks nice. As a woman I would be flattered.
Either she's already attatched or she says no as worse case scenario. If she bins you off just never go back
Better than what iffs.
It's not harassment, it's romantic. Harassment would be if you kept going back after she turned you down.

Winking could just be her. It could be her way of saying I know you like me. She seems confident.

It might be part of her general market chat, she might fancy you or she might have a twitch. I’d just ask her out, I’ve never been offended by someone asking me out.

Update please OP, did you purchase any croissants today? Did you express an interest in more than just her baked wares?

In other news, as you’ve said you don’t actually like croissants then I’m assuming you’re sitting on a surfeit of spare croissants. Either you invite her to feed the ducks, or you start posting them to me whilst they’re still fresh.

Well it wasn't a successful outcome I'm afraid. She didn't wink and seemed a bit more preoccupied than normal and a bit distant so I just bought my croissants politely said thanks and left. I did get 2 fresh baguettes for 40p each though... I will probably give the croissants to someone.

Sorry to hear that op. On the plus side you don’t have to spend the rest of your life pretending to like croissants.

Maybe she's now playing hard to baguette ?

Ah you sound like a decent guy. But it's probably how she is with most customers! Perhaps ask her when she finishes and ask her for a coffee after work??
