Grocery Store Manager

Ok..apparently I'm becoming too comfortable with myself...which can only lead to trouble..

Last night I stopped to pick up a few things at the grocery store near my house and I had another spontaneous "can I do it" moment.

There is this manager there that I have always thought was good looking. He's about my age, fit and looks friendly. There have been moments in the past where I have been in line and glanced his way only to see him looking at me and then glancing away quickly. Now I think I am actually getting familiar with this type of action as the guy being interested..not too hard to figure out..but you never really know. Anyway, he was by himself over at the customer service counter and without really thinking about it I just walked over. He looked up and smiled and I smiled back noticing a lottery ticket sign..so I just said I needed to buy a couple tickets. Realising that I was already second guessing myself..I just took a determined breath and focused on him. When he handed them to me I stuck out my hand and said "Thanks Daniel(glancing at his name tag..actually I knew quite well what his name tag said..just didn't want to look like a stalker), I'm Christian. I see you all the time and thought I would just introduce myself". He smiled and said it was nice to meet me and that he remembers seeing me shopping in the past. Then I said, "Yeah..I just live around the corner". I kept direct eye contact with him a little longer then normal and smiled. Since that seems to be the universal way of saying you're interested without saying anything. He dropped his eyes down and looked at me..as much as he could see from the other side of the counter..and looked back and said that he hoped to see me again soon. With that..I smiled my agreement and said thanks again and walked away. I looked back once and saw that he was watching me. I smiled at him again and left.

Now I am not going to let my ego over inflate..it was really nothing, but the sexual tension was there. I could see it in his eyes and he did this thing where he licked his lips..not in a lude way or anything. It was just subtle and I know straight guys don't stare at each other licking there lips..for a fact I know that. I can get used to doing this kind of shit. Gave me a chubby too..haha

I do have to say that I only attempted since I did catch him looking at me prior so I felt comfortable with it. Still not sure if I could walk up to a random guy and try a pick up..but that is something I want to work up too. Just to see if I can.

  1. Christian,

    Welcome to the world of guy flirting. :)

    What others take for granted we impart meaning and tone to.

    Practice makes perfect...just saying. Casual and intentional is always better than direct and obvious. It is the intrigue of the hunt that makes the pursuit that much more exhilarating.

    Leaving the window of doubt gives everyone the hint of possibility, the open door of confirmation and the plausible denial of almost error.
