cessna Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 So I dropped my car off a few days ago at the garage for repairs and as I walked in was greeted by a very pretty receptionist (if that's what you want to call her). She was very warm, very friendly (I understand this is part of her job). Got chatting with the guy about my car with her situated behind me so she could hear us. She overheard something I said to the guy and seemed really interested in it all, keep giving me looks of eye contact and smiling a lot. I came back today to pick the car up and she recognised me straight away, asked me about my studies and again lots of eye contact, lots of little smiles. I wish I had said something to her but the opportunity didn't present itself really and now I'm kicking myself! I might be reading far too much into this but she did seem interested, more so than her job would require. Not sure what I could do to get in touch with her or if it's even really worth it!
Gary S Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Keep in mind that part of her job is to be nice to customers... so is she really interested in you or just doing her job? It's hard to say. A good test to see if she is interested in you, would be to ask her for her phone number. Seeing how she reacts to that question will answer a thousands questions. If she does give it to you without hesitation, you could call her the following week for a date. One rule is about hitting on women is to always ask for the phone number.
Author cessna Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 That's the problem with trying to gauge a woman's interest when she's at work. I kept an eye and ear open to see how she dealt with other customers and it wasn't as flirtatious but that could mean nothing. I'm 27 and she was young too so maybe she felt like she could act a bit more flirty around me, who knows. One of my hobbies, future job hopefully too, is a bit unusual I guess and that is what she overheard and seemed excited about. I was going to offer her a chance to come along with me but I missed my opportunity... The only option really would be to go in their again and just straight out ask her. I could come away looking like a dick but I've reached a point were I don't care any more and I'd rather try and fail than never know.
smackie9 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 If this is a reaction you get almost anywhere then yes she is genuinely into you, but if this like never happens, she was just bored of her job and chit chatting is always welcomed to break her day up. I know I do it with some of the delivery guys at my shop.....the ones I can relate to.

You'd be surprised though... many people will respect you - perhaps even her
Author cessna Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 What if I phoned up tomorrow and asked her? If she doesn't pick up I'll make up some ****e excuse, panic and then hang up!
jen1447 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 My impression is this one's best left in the regrets pile. Taking chances is great and all that, and if you want to, more power to you. I just agree with the "being nice is my job" likelihood and the missed opportunities angles. But hey, sometimes you just gotta say f*ck it and try anyway.
Author cessna Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Jen, you know what I agree that that is the most likely outcome but I still think it's worth a shot. Nothing to lose! If it goes nowhere then at least I tried and I would actually feel happy for putting myself out there. I don't know her so no feelings are going to be hurt.

Except I told him to walk in like he owns the place. He says "It works!" well duh.
