confused5284 Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 Ok, the other night I went to pick up some food at this restaurant. I saw a guy working there that went to my old high school. He was like “Didn’t you go to West?” I told him yeah. He asked my name and said he thought he remembered me. I remembered him since he was just a grade ahead of me. He started asking me where I went to college and what I had graduated in. He was telling me he graduates in the fall and so and so. My sister was saying on the ride home, she thought he was interested. She thought that anybody else would have just ignored me and not really talked to me. But she said he kept his eyes on me the whole time. she said he did't notice she was there until we were leaving. I don’t know, I’m the kind of person that has to be hit over the head before I know if a guy’s interested or not, I mean he has to either ask me out, ask for my phone number or say something before I’ll know he’s interested. I kind of brushed if off saying that just making small talk really doesn’t mean he’s interested, that he was just trying to be nice. I didn’t really get to talk to him a whole lot because he had to wait on other people. I wondered why he didn’t ask for my phone number or something. But I mean, guys don’t move that fast. They take forever. So question is: Is he interested or semi-interested? I just wanted to see what other people would do in something like this. Maybe I’m making too much out of it. I’ve been thinking it over ever since and I keep thinking maybe I have a potential date. I don’t just want to forget this because, for some reason, I have a good feeling about this. I’m wanting to go back there in couple days when he’s working. I thought about doing something really corny like put my phone number on a napkin or something and then give it to him before I leave. Does anybody have better suggestions on how to handle this? I’ve never just went up to a guy and started talking or made the first move. I don’t want to make a total idiot out of myself. I mean, he could have a girlfriend, but if he’s single and maybe kinda, sorta interested, I would go out with him in a heartbeat if he asked. LOL
moimeme Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 So what if you do something and it doesn't work out? He obviously remembered you from before so he must have been interested. Go back. Be real friendly. If he doesn't respond, no harm done. There are much worse things in the world than trying something that doesn't work. Living your life in regret that you didn't make the attempt is one of them.
alphamale Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 usually, COFUSED5284, when soemone starts asking you person question about yourself like where u live, which school, about your family, what u like to do, these are fairly goood indicators of some sort of interest. Why would they ask those questions in 1st place? They could chat to you about the weather or some other inocuous subject. next time u go up there and he does not ask u out just say to him "hey, i'd love it if you asked me out sometime!"
Author confused5284 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Posted May 24, 2005 i'm going to go back there in a couple days. me & my sister are celebrating the end of the school year. well, that's our ulterior motive, anyway. my luck he'll be off that day. but anyhoo, another thing i keep asking myself is "what if he has girlfriend?". I'm not about to break up a relationship and be known as "the other woman". Usually that happens to me. LOL But then I think "Ok you should go ahead and just do this. It's better to actually do it and look like a total idiot rather than regret you never did." And I do too much of that on a daily basis-- regretting or wishing i had done things differently. i guess i'm being wishy-washy. ya know, it's "should i or shouldn't it"? and i think it's also i'm scared to be rejected. but anyhoo.... i should do like the nike commercial says and "JUST DO IT" for goodness sakes!!!
