It has been a LONG time since I dated or even really flirted with anyone and I'm not sure how I'd signal my interest to someone I don't know that well or only in a "professional" setting. Whenever I see him he's always super smiley and friendly. Of course, that could just be him being good at his job. But, he's attractive and seems nice. I’ve caught him looking at me before: a couple of weeks ago I went to the checkout of his colleague and he literally turned right around to look at me as I was stood in the queue. The week after he said hey to me as I came in, unprompted. Last week, I thought I’d better move things on. I mentioned that we had a mutual acquaintance in my brother and he sounded genuinely surprised. We then got talking about travelling (my brother has recently moved to Australia and he asked after him) He took me by surprise and was really chatty so chatty that I actually had to stop him and ask what I owed.After I paid, he said “it’s really nice to put a face to a name” I replied in kind and left. It’s funny because as I was walking back to the car I realised I hadn’t even told him my first name. He just knows I’m related to my brother. There was lots of eye contact and smiling. I saw him today and he was chatty, less so than last time but he seemed distracted and messed up scanning my items, there was a little bit of crossed hands/hand brushing then he finished with “take care of yourself, see you soon”.Then winked at me. I mean, he could just be being friendly because of the connection to my brother or because he works in retail. I really don’t know how to play it.

I'd frequent the store on the days I didn't need groceries also, the days I know he'd be there and buy something obscure but cheap, something that it's obvious I don't need . .again . . .and again . . and again, until he takes the hint that I'm not in for the goods and either asks calls me on it, or asks me out . . .
Best of luck ??

 Have you asked your brother about him? That would be my first move. To see what your brother has to say.
Then I would do a little "internet research" and see if he is single. IF he is just a flirt, friendly and outgoing person WITH a GF, I would just stick to chatting occasionally... IF he looks single? I might ask him out. Or give him my name at least - maybe that will prompt him to do the asking out.

 For pete sake woman ask him out a drink some time? Who knows, his wink and your drink could be the start of something exciting. If not I'm sure there are plenty of other shops to go too.
