I cannot ask this in real life and it would be great to get an objective reality check here. If you walked into a shop and a man you knew was in there talking, and when he saw you he jumped and went bright red and lost his words for a bit, but then carried on talking but didn't acknowledge your presence, I suppose in a way which could be seen as shy, or the opposite, would you assume that he liked you, and would eventually ask you out, or the opposite? Thank you.

Of course!

Unless he'd dropped something on his foot or something.

Sounds like you're in there.

Rather than second guessing, though, save yourself a whole load of heartache and just ask him out. Life is short. If it's meant to be, great. If not, .... next!

He won't ask you. He may think you're pretty or remind him of someone or heard something about you but he is not going to ask you out because if it's because you are pretty then ignoring you tells me he is too much of a wuss to ask you out or has a partner.

Ask him out or ignore.

Thank you for responses. He made his feelings known a while ago and I didn't respond then, like I should have, but things were a bit difficult at the time, and then I got the impression that he had moved on and I wondered if I had misread it in the first place and now I am wondering. Again.

I think if he does still have feelings he will talk about it at some point. You'd think we were both about 10, huh.

Alright Linda we've all seen romantic comedies so the next course of action is obvious. What you wanna do is roll yourself into a carpet and have two of your courtiers blast you down like a big fairly bowling ball next time he's in the shop. You'll be tumbling down past the Ben and he jerries and the cranberry juice drinks. You'll be hurtling towards love in a big rug. He won't be able to resist. You'll bloomin unfurl majestically out of a carpet and the deed'll be done.

From your update he’s still into you.

Thanks ohyesiam. I really hope so. I behaved like an absolute wally last time.

gamonnosher I find your post very interesting and inspiring but before I get my courtiers on board I really need to know - who is Linda? And Ben? If I could put it in context it would help me with the reenacting.

You've gotta Cleopatra your arse down a quicksave aisle Linda it works every time.
