writes:I just met a guy at work yesterday. He works there too, but I just started a week ago. I work in a bookstore, and we passed each other in an aisle, and I smiled at him and he smiled at me, and then he stopped and said "hey, I don't think I've seen you around before", and I told him that it was only my fourth shift, and I usually worked days, and he kind of nodded. Then I said "I'm (my name) by the way" and he said his name and we shook hands, and I said nice to meet you, and he said it was nice to me me too. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of smiling involved. then he kind of chuckled (nervous laughter, perhaps?) and walked back the way he came. I just have a hard time differentiating between guys being polite, and guys being... more than that, if you know what I mean. :-) Then a little later he walked over and said "so how are you like working here? Then laughed at himself a little and said " I mean, how are you *liking* working here?" and we chatted for a couple of minutes and then he left. Then later again I was talking with a customer, and he just wandered over and stood there listening to us. After the customer left, he was tossing a package of stickers in the air, and dropped them and was all "whoops" (very cute, by the way, haha) and I asked him how long he had worked there, and he told me one month, and I asked him if he was liking it, and he said that he did, except for one person... and that I'd probably met him already. Then he walked away... again, haha And then later (sorry for all the laters... this is the last one, I promise, haha) after I was done my shift, and I was waiting for my mom to finish shopping, I was just wandering around, and he came over and said that he thought about it and realized that he made a mistake about working there for a month, it was more like two and a half months (typical guy!), and he asked me when I worked, and if I worked any weekends, and he told me that he hasn't had a weekend off since he started the job. And then he said "well, I'll stop bugging you, have a good evening", and I laughed and said thanks, and he walked away. I remember he said something like "I remember when I was the new kid, and now there's 40 of you running around like lost puppies" (in a teasing way, of course), and we joked around about that a bit. I should also point out that during all of these interactions he was smiling, just in case you thought he was stone faced during all this, haha We "officially" met yesterday, but I know him from when his soccer team and my soccer team used to practice together. We interacted with each other a couple of times, but this was a few years ago, and looked a bit different, and was much shyer then. I don't think he remembers me. I also have a crazy ability to remember people. So I know he probably couldn't have a crush on me yet or anything, but do you think these are positive indications of romantic interest?Sorry this was so long!

reader, anonymous, writes (3 December 2011): Yes, lots of indications of interest in you. Sounds like he is attracted to you. It is also possible that he is a friendly guy, and was helping you settle in since you were new. He may be kind and friendly to everyone. See how it pans out. If you are interested in him, keep responding favourably when he talks to you. Enjoy the unknown and unfolding of a new (possible) relationship.
