I have had a crush on a waiter at a local restaurant I go to every week for about 4 months now. He has always been super nice to me but I wasn't sure if he was just doing his waiter thing, or actually had interest.

 

Today I decided to leave my number, but I didn't know his name so I asked a girl who also works there what his name was as they don't wear name tags. She asked why and I said I thought he was cute. She said she would get me a piece of paper to write my number. I asked if he was single and she said yes.

 

I wrote my number and gave it to her and she said she would give it to him as soon as I left. It has been about 4 hours and I have had nothing.

 

I don't know how long before I assume he isn't interested and won't text? How long would you give it? I certainly won't go back there if he doesn't as it is now awkward! Lol.

I would give it several days. It's only been 4 hours so right now it's your anxiety that's calling for attention.

It's only been 4 hours... he might even still be at work. If he doesn't text or call you within a week he's probably not interested.

It seems to me that you've put him in a really awkward spot. How is he supposed to identify whose number he was given? Are you relying on the other employee to describe you accurately enough that he can gauge interest? :confused:

Maybe you aren't as interested as you thought because if you were, you wouldn't have created these unnecessary barriers.

On top of him not being sure who you are, other waitress may not even remember to give him your number.

 

You've certainly chosen a route full of potholes.

How do you know the waitress girl will even give him your number? For all you know, she could having a thing for him too herself at work...she could sabotage you and not give your number to him.

 

If you were that interested, why didn't you just give him your number yourself when he came back around to your table? That way he would know who you are, what you look like, and you would be certain he actually received your number.

 

I think you're going to have to go back there to the restaurant...

I wish more women would show the initiative that you did. It would makes it easier for guys like me (I'm like a vampire, I have to feel invited).

Yea sorry you're gonna have to go back. I don't know what you should say but yea.

Yeah, if you had given him your number himself then if he didn't call you at least you would know for certain that he isn't interested and you would move on. Now if he doesn't call you will have all these unanswered questions. "Did he even he receive my number" "if he got the number did he understand whose number it was"? And the only way to resolve these questions is to go back and ask him or give him your number again which could be potentially humilating if he says he already has your number but just isn't interested.

 

Hopefully he will just call you and ask you out and no agonizing over what you should do will be necessary. We're going into the weekend now so if he's going to call it will likely be over the next couple of days.
