reliance Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 This all started a few months ago and it has become a bit of a joke for us girls lol My friend usually goes every night to pick her boyfriend up from work as they only have one car in the household. As she is only around the corner from me sometimes I will go with her and another friend of ours comes along for a chat. There's a male customer that goes to her boyfriends work that my other friend and i thinks likes our friend who has a boyfriend.....and we have all taken it light heartedly and joked about it. First time she saw him (a few months ago) She was sitting on a bench in front of her bf's work playing with her mobile phone and this guy who was with his girl friend at the time said to my friend "Do i know you from somewhere?" and she said "I am not sure, have i seen you before?" and he said i have seen you around here, do u work in there?(pointing to her bf's work) and she said "no, i am here to pick up my *husband* most nights and he said "ok, that must be where i have seen you and his girl friend didnt say anything and they walked off" When my friend told me this we had a laugh as she said she thought he was cute and got tongue tied when he spoke to her that she called her bf her husband instead of her bf. A few weeks later she runs into him again. This time he is already sitting on the bench and she sits on the same bench while he is sitting there. She takes out her phone as she usually does and plays with it and him and her start talking. She said the second time she felt really comfy with him and as if she has known him for a long time. They talked about so many things in just 10 mins or so. She asked about his spare time activities and he asked hers and his reponse was "talking to hot chicks" (to me this was a sign he was flirting) he asked about her realtionship with the bf and she kept at it that he was her husband and he wanted to know how long they had been married and why she wasnt wearing a ring. They were asking each others age and when he asked hers she said "how old do u think i am?" and he said "old enough to know better" (when she told me this i was thinking this is him saying you thinking of crossing the line)] They talked about each others work and my friend is a hair dresser and when she told him what she does he said "so thats why your hair is always perfect" (to me that was another compliment indicating he is interested) He told her the girl he was with the other night was a girl he used to go to school with and he only just begun seeing her etc and it was nothing serious etc etc and that was that. He also send he hasnt had much luck with relationships and had been in an abusive one for 7 years etc Apparently they hadnt seen each other in a while and he went into the bf's work (as he usually does, he is a customer there) asking "isnt your beautiful wife here tonight? Her bf said she wasnt and he started talking with her bf saying that his gf and and my friend should become friends etc and her bf said he wasnt sure and it was up to her to choose her friends. Then he told her bf that it was his gf's birthday coming up and he wanted to do something special for her and get her a voucher to have her hair done with my friend and her bf gave this guy her number, now this was a while ago and he never called to buy that voucher and she has never seen or heard from him again. After a while he went back into the bf's work and told him that he had spilt with his gf and he was single again. And unusually hasnt been into the bf's work again for a while. Now my friend has since split with her bf and is interested in this man and tracking him down. She knows what street he works down but isnt sure if he likes her. To me all the signs were that he likes her but she isnt so sure. What are your thoughts?
goingforgold Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Hmmmm. Yes and no. This sounds a bit icky. He had a girl friend at the time he was flirting with your friend and he knew your friend had a husband/boyfriend but it stopped at the flirting and it never went any further than that? And he tried to suss information out from your friends husband about his wife? This sounds like he is interested but the fact he never called your friend despite having her number is also showing a non interest, if he really wanted her he would've found a way to contact her, since he is single he is free to do as he pleases. I am not sure about this one. It's a bit unusual.
