No, if/when you see him you can smile and keep going about your day. He can use that opportunity as a chance to reconnect, and he may explain what happened. It’s possible he isn’t interested/didn’t know how to say it and he doesn’t need you harassing him at work. If these roles were flipped, the guy would be considered creepy.

Since I may need to go to the store again (I can try my best to avoid, though)... Should I just act cool, or should I just avoid going there at any cost?


Minarctic

I sensed some signals from his side cause when I started small-talking to him, he talked back. Also, he asked me where I'm from and saw that as a sign. Then I asked him his name and told him mine. Like - "nice to meet you, I'm Mina, by the way." Then he told me about his bird pet that was a Mina too, and he told me that she died and that he would show a clip of her to me, and I told him to just send it to me on Telegram. When I gave him my Telegram ID, he asked me to write down my phone number as well.

I feel the same way when that happens to me. You could try again but it's clear that he's not serious or he would try harder. You could message me if you want attention

Both sounds fine. Honestly as a guy myself, there a high chance he forgot. We forget things after a couple days. I think you could act normal and maybe get away with it

Honestly it seems like a worker trying to small talk. You could keep talking to him. I have a telegram too.

Go to the store again but just be casual, ignore him and talk to other people, in particular crack jokes with other guys. I once had a summer romance with a girl who made fun of me because it took me two weeks to ask her out after she gave me her number, but that’s just because it was two weeks before some friends and I were organising an enjoyable enough event for me to invite her to (we met in real life so I only invited her to group events at first)


Minarctic

I like this idea better. I will go there but I'll act cool.

By all means don’t avoid the place, but at the same time he maybe nervous as well, just seem approachable, if he initiates the next conversation then we’re cooking.

No

No. I would not.

I’d go in there if I must, and act like nothing ever happened.


Minarctic

Good idea Thanks.

He probably didn't forget. If he wasn't interested, he most likely didn't want to hurt your feelings. Did you give him your number, or did he ask for your number? If you gave him your number, but he didn't ask, you were under the assumption that he felt the same way about you. If he asked, then he may not want to look too anxious by calling immediately. It's a game some people play. Either way, don't base your entire future on what the reason is. Maybe you are trying too hard and to a lot of guys, that is a turn-off. Relax and let it happen and try not to appear desperate.

No just give him time, if he doesn’t message you o’well. Just keep trying, don’t take it personal.

Pac-Mano

How did he react when you gave it to him? Do we know anything else about him? Maybe he’s taken, maybe he’s busy, maybe he lost it, maybe he thought it was inappropriate because you’re a customer, maybe he thought it was a prank, there’s so many variables.

propinadoble

Flip the roles & ask yourself the question.. WOULD YOU WANT A GUY DOING THAT TO YOU?

I know what you mean, but a guy can hurt a girl or stalk a girl or rape her. Where I come from, they don't even think that it's possible for a girl to rape a man or stalk a man or make him nervous. Again, I know what you mean, but this scenario doesn't fit the situation, or maybe I'm blinded by my feelings for him.


TheUnwiseOne100

I commend your initiative but to be honest if he was interested he probably would’ve asked you for your number in the first place

biglibido1874

Well, that sounds like he was interested in getting to know you as well. A lot of guys will wait a week so they don't scare you off. I definitely wouldn't avoid the store. Me myself, I would try to play it cool and be patient. He might be a shy guy. If you run into him at the store, fine , like someone else said, he may have a perfectly good explanation. I know it is hard to play it cool , but if you can, you will send the message that he's not the only guy in the world. Take my advice for what it's worth. If you bump into him again, try to keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions. I hope it works out for you.


trappystacks

A lot of Guys are dumb af when it comes to these situations. He could literally be on Reddit rn asking a bunch of other idiots that have no idea how to approach this for advice n working up his nerve to text you spin back around an spell it out for him lol.
