Is he interested?

[Aiyla92]

Hi, I really need some advice on whether or not this guy may be interested in me. There's a couple of factors. While out shopping with a friend last week we went into a clothes store, I just got to the counter when the guy at the register told me the swimsuit I was buying wasn't refundable if it didn't fit me ( I honestly didn't mind and said I would just buy it), he kept insisting I try it on so I didn't waste my money. Once I had tried it on and came back he appeared to be really nervous as he was putting my swimsuit in the bag while occasionally smiling at me. My friend said he looked like he was definitely attracted to me and I felt there was something there too.

A week later I went back into the store with my friend, when I entered the store he stared at me for a while before going back to work and while I was looking around my friends said he kept throwing glances my way. Out of the corner of my eye I'm sure I caught him looking at me and quickly turning away.

The problem is the first time I met him I was wearing a pink wig (I'm a cosplayer) with a lolita styled dress...so maybe he just thinks I'm weird and remembered I was the weird girl from before. Or one of my other friends seems to think he's gay because he works in a women's clothing store, and to her apparently he looks gay. (I don't see it myself).

I thought about trying to start a conversation with him..but I'm not sure how. I've never really been in this kind of situation before as I don't even know his name. There's a position vacant, so I was thinking I could use that as an excuse but I'm not sure if I should flirt (or how, please help me) or ask him out for coffee. Is that too forward?

Um. To answer your question, there has been only two times you and this guy even talked. So he may be interested, but there really isn't much evidence to say he is. Just start talking to him, see if he tries to catch your name or number. Asking him for coffee is too forward, for someone you talked to twice, in different hair colors.

I think he might have some interest in u but doesn't know how to go about asking u out seeing as to how ur with ur friend maybe u should ask ur friend to go off to the side for a sec ask him his name and if he'd like to go out for coffee or how u looked in the baithing suite wen he last saw you or say hey do u remember me from last time I was wearing that pink wig try and put ur self out there just a little but not to much and see where it goes
Good luck

I know there hasn't been much evidence but my friend was also keeping a look out and every time I was looking away he would keep throwing glances at me. The only other reason why I think he would do that at all is if he recognaized me from before, but if he did he should have only looked once or twice. He also saw me without the wig on the first time, I had taken it off to try the swimsuit and hadn't bothered to put it back on.

I'm very shy and I've had chances slip up from under me before and don't want to make the same mistakes.

Thanks for the advice baskinrobins, he hadn't seen me in the swimsuit as he was working at the counter. I'll try the wig idea and see where that goes, I'm still thinking I might enquire about the job even though I don't really want it. I feel kind of odd starting off with anything else. Another thing I'm unsure about is when I should go back to the store again. I went there on Saturday and the Friday before that, I kind of feel like a stalker now. :s I don't want it to be too soon.
