Question - (2 August 2014) 4 Answers - (Newest, 16 August 2014)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

he works at a local pizza hut. he is very quiet and standoffish towards his fellow employees (female and male) he ignores them, they ignore him. he wont speak without being spoken to (includes employees) when i flirt with him, he smiles, blushes, and hangs his head down, i also noticed his voice becomes softer.

the first time we met: after i flirted with him, i waited for him to make the next move.. he instead became quiet and waited back at the register, then i became embarassed and felt like he maybe he was only being nice. *facepalm* but when my order was ready he quickly came from behind the counter carried my pizzas and opened the door for me. (but) he didnt ask for my number, so i didnt offer nor ask for his (by then i already felt embarassed) after i got home, i realized, i forgot to ask his name!!

second time (1 week later on the same day) was much more difficult to talk, because it was wayy more busy. he was still quiet and standoffish like before. when i came in i smiled at him and he just looked at me and did not smile back. he took my order (i told him i wanted what i had ordered last week) he remembered *sigh* i asked his name, he blushed smiled and told me. but then his manager came up front and sent him on an errand in the back, he never made it back up front, before my order was ready :''( so we still dont have eachothers numbers! and my confidence is running on "e" he accepts my advances but wont make a move of his own. i haven't really just come out and said "i wanna see you outside of pizza hut" because i didn't wanna embarass him and i dont wanna embarass myself.

On the flip side of him maybe being gay or not being interested.

He might be crap at picking up 'hints' or 'signs' I am absolutely crap at them and I need a about 5 hints before I would even consider asking her out.

Also take into account he is at work , he might be thinking he cant do or say anything as he has to be professional at all times.

I am in my late 20s and still struggle with shyness/confidence issues and I know these are some of the things that run through my head.

If you are really interested give him back the receipt with your number written on and ask him to call . being discreet of course.

I am a completely different person at work to what I am with my friends so he might open up with you.

good luck

I'm not an expert at this sort of things by any means, but here's my advice anyway! If you like this guy and he doesn't seem to be making any moves, make a move of your own. Maybe pass him your number and say something like "text me later so I've got yours", so that he has some idea of what to do with it! Bear in mind that if he's not forthcoming at the moment, will he ever be? Maybe see how he is and how things go once you've given him your number. I hope this helps.

Good luck!

He sounds weird or creepy. You're in your late twenties. How old is this guy?

Should you give up?!! Why do you even bother???

He seems childish, introverted, and unresponsive.

What would you do on a date? Stand silently blushing at each other? He works in a pizza hut. Maybe because he has social issues and found something that doesn't demand very much of him. Sorry, but the guy has the personality of a limp noodle.

Don't frustrate yourself. Learn to be more outgoing. Shyness isn't making you desperate.
