What im trying to say is, don't over analyse this guy's interactions with you, yeah chances are that he could be interested in you, but very possibly he's just doing what is expected of him while at work.


I agree. She must compare how much attention he is paying to ordinary customers to how much he is paying to her. If it is equal or more to other customers then he is unlikely to be interested.

Kind of. If he is neurotypical, it's probably mostly how much he talks to or pays attention to you, while if he is neurodiverse it's the amount of looking when not talking to you.

Be careful, and don't obsess about him too much until you know there is mutual interest.

I will go to the coffee house maybe next week, I need time for myself to do other things. I just forget things, I was in a pretty terrible place when I loss my mom & now I'm living on my own for the first time without her being here & that is sooo scary & I can get so overwhelmed that why I'm hyperventilating. I been living on my own for 5 months, I'm slowly getting my life back. I was living on my own before for 6 years, when I lost my mom, I moved back to my mom's house to be close to her, I was living with my sister & my nephew, & then later my drunken brother-in-law moved in, it was a nightmare living with my sister & her soon to be ex. It's still hard living without my mom, I know she is with me, I can feel her spirit & sometimes I can hear her talk :D :D :heart: For some reason, I felt stronger when she was alive, she is helping me move on. I just forgot what I was doing. I'm putting that guy on hold.


You're doing great. When you're going out to meet people and date after a loss like this, it's a good sign that you're actually feeling better and moving past grieving stages. You're going to find someone in no time if you remain this ambitious, regardless of what happens with this guy.

If you go there again, try to catch his eyes while you are sitting there. If he doesn't look your way from time to time then it is unlikely that he is interested. Also remember that people working at such places are required to be nice to their customers, so he being friendly to you as a customer will mean nothing.


If a guy look at you that means he interested in you? I think he is interested in me, months ago, I think he did try to get my attention & I could talk to him, I didn't know months ago. I don't remember when I first saw him, I think it was in August, I just moved on my own. I wasn't coming in the coffee house too much back then, when I did go to the coffee house, I was in line for someone to take my order & one person was there, the guy said something when he saw me, I think he was happy to me. I dropped something twice & I saw him looking at me then later I coughed, he looked at me. Last week, I was walking home & I saw that guy behind me, I cross the street & then I lost my balance, I fell down & he saw it, I think he was worried about me, when I got up, I saw him looking at me, falling down wasn't the only bad thing, I also hyperventilated. I went to the coffee house the next day, someone else took my order, he was doing something else & then after that, he came over, he asked me something, he acted like nothing happened. Also last week, he was looking my way unless he was looking out the front door. Could this be the true? He is interested in me & wanting to get to know me. I'm scared that I'm believing in something that may not be true, I been hurt soooooo many times, I been hurt by men, friends, people that were almost friends, I been hurt by my dad & by a doctor. I'm too scared to see if this is true about him. What should I do? This is hopeless.

When I go to other places, they are not friendly like him, this guy is too friendly to customers, he asked how are they, but doesn't talk to me, he only talk to me when he takes my order.


What if this guy is MORE shy than you are? There is only one way to test this theory. If he's trying to catch your gaze like that, that's your BEST cue.

The next time you make eye contact with that guy, maintain it, smile and give him a little casual wave. If he makes more eye contact with you after that and doesn't come engage with you, go say hi.

Does gaze mean look? I hope you right.

I don't know when I'm going to the coffee house, I have things to do tomorrow, I may go out walking too, maybe I will pass the coffee house. I can't really think of going tomorrow or maybe all week. I'm having family drama right now, cause by my sister, I feel like I'm going explode into a million pieces.

If you have trouble with sister and/or family, then just go to the coffee house instead. Or hang at some other place so you can get out of your bad situation and thoughts. Thinking about a crush is an excellent way to get into a good mood even when people around you are fighting.

Absolutely.

Yes, but I would delete smiling (maybe a small one in that case), and I wouldn't necessarily go up talking either. If he reciprocates there is a definite interest, and she can give him more time instead of forcing it. After all, he probably won't quit working there in a while, unless he has a temporary employment or something.

He means that if you know that he likes you too, you can spend more time thinking of ways to hang out with him.

I don't know if he likes me. When women like men does that mean for dating or being friends?

Dating, or being friends, only occurs when both people agree that they are dating/being friends.

There a Starbucks near me, I can tell him I like the coffee better at the coffee house although the coffee is a little strong, but I'm not going tell him that.

Probably not a good idea LOL. Don't even mention Starbucks to that guy!

Women can "like" men both for friendship and for dating.

It is said that a woman "really likes" a man whom she wants to date.

If you have a crush that is more than friendship like dating, right?
