last nite i was at starbucks studying and there is this guy that works there, we graduated from the same high school but hes older and he goes to the same school as me now, we had geology together last semester and so ...to make a long story short we've both seen each other around town, but never talked or anything bc both of us were in relationships during these times...well i was by myself last night and he talked to me whenever i ordered my coffee just mostly about school and then i was hoping he might come over to me at some point while i was studying but he never did and then as soon as i started to put up my books and get ready to leave he popped up at my table and started talkin to me about what i was studying, etc...he remember all this stuff about me from high school and stuff that i didnt even know he would know bc we didnt hang in the same crowd and he was older...so anyway...it made me feel good then he had to go wait on a customer and i told him by and left but he didnt get my number or anything, i wish he would though. i frequent that starbucks though so any suggestions on how to get him to get my number ...
does this sound like he might be interested in me or just being a nice guy??
and previously to this starbucks incident, like last week, i was in there and i couldnt help but notice how much he was checking me out and how he was talking really loudly to one of his coworkers about how he doesnt have a gf, etc...
Well, it's been awhile since I was on the dating scene, but I would say he definately sounds interested. I would start going to Starbuck's a bit more to "study"
Yay Bri! I agree with FP - he sounds like he is quite interested. You know, you could initiate things by asking him out...maybe to grab lunch (or dinner, depending on when you're at Starbucks) or whatever - just something casual. And see how things go from there. Let us know how it goes...

He's probably kicking himself right now for not asking for your number and hoping that you will come back. I agree with FP: start going more often. I'm not saying go every day though, just try to stop in once a week if you don't already.
OOOOOOOOH... he sounds interested! If it were me, I'd probably go there a couple more times w/i the next few days (or whatever your norm is) and if he didn't ask for my number by then, I might get his or offer up mine. Always nice to wait for the guy though.
I agree - sounds interested, go more!!! This is so much fun!! Personally I would wait a little while & hope that he makes the first move, but I'm a big chicken! Let us know what happens.

yeah -- he definitely sounds interested! i agree with the others, go in again soon (maybe during an off-peak time of day so he's not super busy) and see what happens. have something to study with you so he has an excuse to come over and see what you're reading!
oooooo....i'm so excited for you!!! its always exciting to have a new crush...dang haven't had one of those in awhile! let us know what happens!! goodluck!
He definitely sounds interested! I'd start spending a lot of my free time at that Starbucks. If he doesn't ask for your number in the next (give yourself a number, like 3) then I'd just write it on a napkin and say, "in case you're interested" or something. Why not? Or when y'all are talking ask him something like: "you ever get away from this place at a normal hour? we should hang out when you won't be distracted by frothy mochas and whipped cream." very noncommittal but still effective. but i'd give him a bit first to see if he asks for your number. does he know you don't have a bf anymore?
hey blubirde...i dont know if he knows that im single now : /
i wish i could make sure he did. one of the guys he works with sits right behind me in one of my classes i thought about throwing some kind of comment out there about him being hot or something to see if he has said anything about me..etc but i dont know about that, but i just figured if brandon(thats the guy who sits behind me) knew i was asking about him then he would obviously know im single and maybe he could transmit the info to chris(thats THE guy) bc i see brandon everyday...i dont know...what should i do??

totally throw out comments to brandon! r u guys fairly friendly? i know guy friends are usually cool w/ stuff like that & he'd probably be happy to hook u too up, so long as he doesn't have a thing for u himself! good luck & congrats!
I think you should just hang out at Starbuck's more and flirt... He definitely sounds interested, and that'll send the right signal. My experience is that trying to get a mutual friend to help with communication ends in a huge mess, so I'd do that only if flirting for a few days doesn't work. Or, if you know Brandon, you could mention your single-ness, or if you have another friend in that class, mention to them so he could overhear that there's a hot guy working at Starbucks... But be really careful involving Brandon or anyone else!

I agree. Mention something to the friend. Stuff like this is nothing to be afraid of (at least to me). It doesn't hurt anything for him to know you think Brandon's friend is hot. I'd definitely go for it! Let us know what happens!
ok cool. thanks girls for your advice! i think im going to say something to brandon tomorrow. ill keep you girls posted. and i dont have to worry about brandon liking me or anything like that bc he's gay
ok so ive been to starbucks several times since i posted that first post about meeting my starbucks boy, chris. well everytime that ive been in there when hes working he totally goes out of his way to talk to me, noticeably(sp?) checks me out, etc....but still has not asked for my number or anything. the other night though he wasnt working and he was just in there and when i walked in he came straight over to me and was like 'hey girl what r yall doing tonight?" and i was just like ''nothing at all" and couldnt think of anything else to say bc ive made so big a deal out of this guy that i got all nervous!!!...ha ha. so anyway i was hoping we couldve hung out bc it was obvious that both of our groups of friends had nothing to do that night.(but he prolly thought i was so uninterested with the way i couldnt find anything to say :)....oh well so long story short...we had previously talked (the first time i met him)about both of us taking physics together in the fall bc i told him i registered for it already and he told me to check and see exactly which physics class it was so he could get in my class!! well that was like two weeks ago and on tuesday(the last time i was there) he was talkin to me and then just as i was walkin out the door he was like "hey....."and i stopped and turned around..and he goes "what class is it that ur takin in the fall?" and i told him, etc...but i wasnt going to bring it up again bc i didnt really know if he was serious so i thought that maybe he is interested bc he obviously remembered we talked about that. and thats all so far....
anyways sorry this was so long, but i think hes totally hot and i really would like something significant to happen...but maybe he just wants to be friends. i dont know. its frustrating.
i bet it'll totally be worth the wait when u guys do get together. there's something so awesome about a relationship that was a long time in the making. it may not happen til u guys have that class together, but when it does... it'll be great!
i'm "officially" no longer giving out advice about boy/girl relationships (yeah right) because i suck at them so badly but it sounds like he likes you. maybe he's waiting for you to say something to him? but since i said that and everything i do and say is (lately) wrong, you should probably say nothing and just wait for him. or not. i don't know. but it definitely sounds like he likes you.
