I've only been working there a few weeks, but we every once in awhile, I catch him glancing at me, then looking away.We've sort of played the flirty game of catching each others eyes for brief moments, then looking away. The thing is, he never smiles at me...and he hasn't really struck many conversations with me...I think he is perhaps a bit shy...On to my question:I went to anime convention this year, and even though I was raving about going at work, he never mentioned that he was going also.I saw him walking down one of the hallways at the convention...our eyes met briefly but he kept walking. So I turned around and ran to catch up with him.I tapped him on the back and he seemed happy to see me. He shook my hand......... Big smiles and all. He said something sort of odd "I've been found!" I think meaning he hasn't seen anyone he knew there for awhile (he was walking by himself).We talked briefly, mostly me, I told him me and my friends were done for the day so we were leaving.So heres the strange thing, just before I left, he shook my hand again....what do you think it means?Any opinions on any part of this situation would be greatly appreciated!

I really appreciate all the feedback. Thanks alot. I think for now I am just going to forget about him. Hes really confusing me and honestly its a bit of nuisance. Hes just one guy out of many anyways!

For your sake I hope I am wrong but in your shoes I would start ignoring him and let him do the chasing from now on.Take care.

Handshakes are so common that most people that have these issues can still easily shake a person's hand. If he does have a thing for you, he also may be quite shy. You may want to confront him and ask. But remember, be assertive, not agresive. Don't be so blunt that you just come out and say, "I like you, do you like me?" That could easily scare him. Take this convention and use it to your advantage. Go to him and ask him if hed like to go to another with you, or if the two of you could do something somewhat related. Just be sincere and don't over do it or over think it.

well he was probably embarrassed that he saw someone from work first off. He might keep his personnal life and work life seperate. There is a possibility he likes you. Try to be his friend try to just hang out. Oh dont tell anyone from your job he was there that could very well turn him away. He sounds shy. So maybe you can take the bold move and engage him in conversations and see if u can get himm to see you outside of work. Dont be put off if he doesnt take your offer right away work at it for a bit. If thats not something u mind doing. Time will tell. The key is let the comfort level between you two grow. Like new york lotto hey ya never know.

It doesn't sound like he's pursued you in any way and a hand shake is not shared between those that have a romantic interest.
