Question - (10 August 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 19 August 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

there is this guy who my friend says like me. he stares at me everytime i go into the shop he works in, and it is sort of constant staring. he always smiles at me and comes over to talk to me and seems happy when he is talking with me and happy to see me. he asked how old i was and told me about him and his life and asked about mine. one time i went into the shop with a friend, to get a present for my friend. while we were in there, he kept looking at me all the time and i would look at him and we would both see the other one looking. when my friend went out to have a cigerette, and for me to get the present, as soon as my friend left, he came over and gave me a big smile and started talking to me. i told him about a problem i had with my xbox 360 and he said to bring it in tomorrow and he will have a look at it. so i did, turn out the hard drive was broken so he gave me a new one for free, they cost about £50. he didnt have to give it to me for free as i brought it there probably 3 years ago.

do you think he likes me?

however he has a girlfriend as he mentioned her one time and is going on holiday with her in about a week and a half.

i want to repay him for fixing my xbox and giving me the free hard drive as i feel bad as it is a lot of money and stuff. what sort of thing could i do to repay him? if i asked him if he would let me buy him a drink to repay him, do you think he would say yes? should i do it in the next few days or when is best? do you think he likes me?

Cloverfield agony auntI do think he likes you, I cant see any other reason he'd do so many things for you, spend so much time with you while working, or divulge information about his relationship if he didn't.

My concern is this, what if his current relationship isn't that great, as is often the case when one partner is very jealous. He could well be responding to your kindness because he's not getting affection from his partner. That doesn't mean he'd be prepared to leave her though. Additionally, if he did dump her to go out with you, could you really trust that he wouldn’t do the same to you if you hit a bad patch? I fear that doubt could seriously undermine any possible relationship you could have.

If you do want to pursue him, I strongly recommend remaining friends until after he's ended his current relationship. & even then Id advise waiting a couple of months to make sure he's genuinely over it.

I know you like him, but think of yourself. Do you really want to get tangled up in the dying embers of someone’s relationship?

i went in there on monday to ask him if he would let me buy him a drink to say thank you for helping me. i went in the shop with a friend and then he left to smoke a cigarette, and the man came over to me and started talking like we normally do. i made him laugh a lot and he seems really happy to be talking with me, he always looks me in the eyes and smiles when he sees me. i preordered a game and he was looking if there was any other ones, and preordered some for me without me even saying, and he preordered one for me because he was getting it too. it was late so the shop was going to close soon so he had to sort out the tills so before saying bye i asked if he would like to go out for a drink so i could say thank you for the other day. he said his girlfriend is extremely jealous and it is a very kind gesture (said something like that about the gesture), and that he would love to another time. he didnt say it in a fast, uninterested way. he said it with a smile and seemed genuine about it. but what do you think he meant, do you think he is interested in me? im confused, my friend seems to think that he really likes me and that it is obvious by the way he acts and tells me about his life and interests, by the way he stares at me and always talks to me and smiles and seems genuinely happy to see me and talk with me. we have a lot in common too. what do you think he meant and does he like me?

Cloverfield agony auntI think he probably does like you, he's certainly giving off the right signals. & I'm sure he would accept if you asked him out for a drink...... none of those things means you should though!
