Arctic123 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I wanted to hear some opinions out there concerning a young lady I believe may have been showing signs she was interested in me, although not entirely certain. I'll try to keep it as brief as possible but I'd like to fit in as many details as possible. I paid a visit to my eye doctor the other day for a routine appointment and as it turned out, my exam was being done by a girl who went to high school with me (she is close to completing her doctoral degree). I remembered of her, but I never really talked to her that I can recall as we never had any classes together (she graduated a year after me). Right away, she guessed my profession (incorrectly but close enough I guess!) since she said she remembered I was intelligent. She also remembered my graduation year. I was surprised she'd remembered all this - coming from someone I really didn't know. During the examination, she: on numerous occasions, she teased me about how bad my vision is (it really isn't that bad compared to many).made it a point to jokingly bring my eye color into discussion, saying people with my eye color have it bad with higher sensitivity (probably means nothing but thought I'd throw it in there).after I told her that I work in the area, she asked if I still live in the area.on one or two occasions I caught her playing with her hair (nothing excessive).she noticed I looked as though I had eyeliner when I changed my lenses because of a misplaced drop (I followed up with a relatively witty response on this one).mentioned to the actual doctor that we sat at the same lunch table for a semester. I swear we did not! lol But I played it off casually. On the way out, she led me to the receptionist. She mentioned she wouldn't be there for my next appointment in a month. We said goodbye, and as we began to walk separate ways she hit my arm. It was kind of like for a very brief second she held my forearm then gave a gentle slap (it's hard to explain). So that's really the gist of it all. She's going to be doing her residency out of state in a few months and goes to school out of the area, so not sure why she would want to pursue me of all people at this point in her life? I've been hit on my share of times by women (you pretty much know when you're being hit on), but this one is really a head-scratcher given all of the factors mentioned. Was this a way of coming on to me (while retaining her professional manner), or was she simply being outgoing? Opinions welcome!
Adele0908 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Even though I'm a woman, I can't really say if she was flirting or not. All of it sounded friendly, but there are other nuances and vibes that can only be sensed if a person was there in the room with you two. If you sensed that she was flirting, then maybe she was. When I'm really attracted to a guy, I do express it by flirting, but I try not to overdo it. Just a little bit here and there. The only way to know how she felt about you would have been to flirt back with her. If she responds, she likes you. If she shuts you down, then it might have been just friendly conversation. 1
Author Arctic123 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I did have the intuitive impression that she was flirting based on her mannerisms, the tone of her voice, etc. I wouldn't say I directly "flirted" with her (especially given the professional setting), but she was noticeably responsive to any subtle jokes or even general discussion points. I guess you could say I had the sense that we hit it off well in conversation to the point that got me wondering. But the arm touch as I departed made me feel that it was more likely she was showing interest.
preraph Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I mean, you're the one who knew her in high school. Was she popular and outgoing then? If so, she may just be an outgoing person. Either way, if you're interested, call and ask her for coffee or something.
