:ehh:I'm of two minds about this:

1. He really thought your hair was nice, and had to mention it. A lot of us men have these things in our head but are rarely arsed to vocalize it. With that in mind, he could have
also found you attractive, making his desire to pay you a compliment more pressing.

2. He just liked your hair, is a social person...the type to start a convo because he likes the watch someone is wearing, and you happened to have the most interesting attribute at
the time.

Either way, don't think too much about it, cause you can imagine with this ONE missed connection you had, there are a handful of guys every week thinking the same about you.
They were scared of couldnt find a way to break the ice, and so they wracking they brain trying to find out why you weren't super receptive to them. shyt happens like that:manny:

The only way to fix these things is to be ready to pick up the ball and speak. Yea yea, he started it, it is his job and all that....but if you find him attractive and had a very positive first impression,
you did nothing to further it. 50/50.

In the future, and this is based off the experience of a funny looking breh who for a while got dates saying the dumbest stuff, don't worry about "what to say." Just say SOMETHING.

Trust me, it is that easy. On the way out when you saw him heading in a similar direction, you could feign noticing him late and say "Oh, would you like to know my secret?"

Just allude to the very situation that broke the ice, and smile like you will die if you don't:russ:Assuming for the sake of argument he was single and just nervous, acknowledging that you
were receptive could go a long way towards furthering those situations. Some guys hang themselves socially and you have to hold their hands by giving em context clues.

Bottom line, you don't have to be witty, but some clever self-awareness can be damn near like giving a man a few shots of drank, giving him the courage to continue. Then again, it might just be
a compliment. Us men do that occasionally.

Happens to me occasionally. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate between someone being nice and showing legit interest.
What I found works best is to initiate some kind of conversation, the more data points you have the more confident you can be in your conclusion and not totally misread the situation. In your case it could've been as simple as commenting on the long lines or how busy it was. If he's interested he'll try to keep the convo going, if not exchange pleasantries and KIM.

On another note I swear some chicks think giving the stank face is flirting these day, esp Chicago chicks for some reason. I be all the way to the stage where I'm hitting it from the back and thinking dayum does she even like me :lupe: :sadrake:
You have to have the actual:saddrake:In order for the smile to show up, famo.

He has a girlfriend!

Trust me! I know for a fact he does.

And hes more than likely trying to be faithful.


It has happened to me twice before and my stalking ass found out they both had girlfriends and i kept it moving.

It's easy for women to follow through after a guy shows some interest....if im interesred

-i might say something silly, like "oh thought you were treating" (points to groceries) or

-(since he's going in my direction) say, "so you're following me, huh?" and smile

-give him a compliment, like "you have a nice smile/eyes/whatever"

-once you see the convo going somehere, just say, "so , can i put my number in your phone" or "put your number in my phone, you single right?" :mjpls:

i'm from the city, so im a little bit more blunt

Why didn't u just give him a quick compliment back. :dahell:

I thought about saying: "I love your hair too" but I didn't think about that until we were on our way out and he was holding the door open for me, at that point it would've come off like I was searching for something to say.
Like I said I'm not quick on my feet. :mjcry:
I'm gonna convince myself that he has a girlfriend so I don't write this off as an L. :beli:

Next time just say something, anything, as a compliment. It will show that you are somewhat into the dude, u don't gotta ask nuthin further he can pick up on that and ask for your number etc.
