Is he interested?

[MissUtley]

Here's a little background: I'm currently a summer EMT at my school's university. As mandated by protocol, we have to sign in at the Public Safety office before every shift and recently I've noticed a cute officer that sits at the front desk. He's been there for a while now, I've seen him working the graveyard shift during the school year and I always thought he was attractive but my thoughts never extended to anything beyond that. He's pretty young, no older than 24 and I know he's taking classes at a college.

 

Recently I started to become more intrigued after he asked me a question one day when I was signing in. It was something extremely ordinary, I didn't pay much attention to it until he kept asking me questions in our subsequent engagements. Now he has my attention and I'm really curious to see if he's considering asking me out or if he's just striking up conversation because he's bored.

 

Here are some things I've picked up on:

 

- I forget how the conversation switched to movies but he recommended this one website to me. I finished checking in and was standing around waiting and he said he'd just page me the URL address. I thought it was a little weird that he went out of his way to make sure I had the address.

 

- He asks me questions about being an EMT.

 

- I have to walk around behind the front desk to sign in and so we both face the same way and typically he'd have his back towards me when we'd converse. Now he starts moves so that he's facing me.

 

- He smiles more often now when I see him.

 

Here are things that make me think eh:

 

- His has an aura that tends to scream, "I'm pretty awesome and into myself." Though I've noticed it, our interactions are pretty friendly and he's nice to me. My other EMT friends say that he's a tool (douche) to them. He rides a motorcycle and I have an inkling this feeds his ego.

 

- He kind of talks about himself a lot. Perhaps he's nervous?

 

Yeah, so there it is. Let me know what you guys think.

There is no logical way for anyone on this forumn to read his mind and tell you what his intent is.

 

Even IF someone has a way of saying yes he seems interested, then what ?

 

Are you going to break out of your shell and ask him out instead ? if you answer NO to this then why are you needing to know if hes interested if you dont plan on doing anything about it ?

 

Most women are scared of rejection, so they always want to find out if the guy is interested first. Women would rather have the guy get hung out to dry than themselves.

Yes that is the reason, they are chicken shyt. Guys have no problem with that.

 

But another reason is if a guy is chicken shyt afraid of rejection.....then there are two chicken shyts and it is one too many.

Men very rarely go out of their way to strike up friendly conversations with women they're not attracted to. The fact he even engages in casual chat with you suggests he's interested.
