I go into a local small supermarket to get a few bits and pieces quickly leaving tween dc in car, and I notice a male customer calling to the butcher in the supermarket, it looked like they had been arranging something and they were both smiling and laughing and the customer was calling out "ok that works for me!" as he walked away. I remember thinking he had a nice voice.
Then a few minutes later I was in an empty aisle and I had left my trolley in the middle of the aisle absent mindedly as I look at the shelves and I notice the same man who had been chatting to the butcher walk towards me. My trolley is in his way so I quickly walk to move it, and say sorry to him and smile, and he smiles and says something in a nice tone of voice, and passes. I turn back to what I am doing and think briefly to myself that I bet he'd be nice to be in a relationship with, and I then forgot about it.
I then get the weirdest sense he is looking at me in a "connection" sort of way (I am laughing as I write this as I know how it sounds). I walk off and start loading up some things I need somewhere else and realise he has appeared again and is looking at me while he is doing what he is doing. I then go to checkout and leave and as I dock my trolley he is at his car loading things into his boot, and I feel him looking at me, so I look at him and he is looking at me, looking very serious, mask now off, nice looking, and I feel like a teenager with a crush and go back to my car, where my dc have been waiting for me and I drive off. The man and I are closer to middle age than teens but it felt like cupid's arrow!
Has this ever happened to you and would you have stopped and said something at any point, if you were interested and single and assumed he was interested and single? Just wondering really!
