they do tipping at my subway and my question was whether if his comment was flirty or if he was just being nice to me. i didnt ask, but i did notice his name tag, so yes i do know his name.

So I’ve become quite the Subway client for a while. I usually go once a week or so. Today I went and one of the usual workers attended me. He’s attended me for the most part everytime I’ve gone and he is always super nice. He apologized for taking a while in putting on his gloves. I usually don’t overthink interactions but this one left me curious and confused. He was making my sandwich and he kept giving me glances. I felt his eyes on me for a bit. It’s usually like this everytime I go, but I really felt it this time around. I didn’t really look my best, so I was just expecting to get my sandwich and go. But after he was done preparing it, I hand him the money. Usually, I’ve noticed that most of the workers use the cashier calculator or just use their head to calcute money totals. But I noticed how he pull his phone down on the table and did the calculations in front of me. I didn’t really think about that until after I got home. Once I hand in the money, he proceeds to ask what my name was. I told him my name as I didn’t see it being weird or too personal. He then proceeds to tell me that I have a very beautiful name and I said thank you. After that, I get my food and he tells me to have a good day. I find it bizarre how he asked for my name. It was just us two, and there wasn’t any calls or other orders. So he didn’t really need my name. I checked the reciept, and my name doesn’t appear on it, just the sandwiches and the total money. I know I usually go often, so part of me thinks that maybe he just wanted to attach a name to someone he sees often. But the compliment, I don’t know. He hadn't said anything to me until now. Just the usual "What do you want on your sandwich?" "Do you want it go?" and "Have a good day." Maybe was he just being nice or was he flirty? What should I do next time when I go?

So last night I went to a wedding from one of my closest friends. I wasn't expecting anything to happen really. Alot of people came from my highschool, most who I havent seen in four years. I said hi to them all and felt a bit introverted that night, so I wasn't really catching up until a friend came over. Then she brought in another friend and then we all just sat together and started catching up. It was fun I got to catch up with all of them, but when I first arrived to the venue I couldn't help but notice someone who I grew up with. I hadn't seen him in years, so we caught up. He was first to say hi and then it sort of just happened from there. We all started drinking (though ofc we are all older than 21). And then the music started playing. Everyone else went to dance and I just started talking to my childhood friend. We talked about what we were doing, our passions, college, and our self love journeys. I felt like I could really relate to what he was telling me and it seemed like we were getting along well for people who havent talked in years. It could have been maybe the influence of alcohol, but I'm not usually confident with people. I don't really talk to guys or greet them really if I know them (due to the fear of them maybe not remembering since I used to be a bit introverted in school). But drinking really helped bring out my more extroverted side. I wasn't drunk, mostly just tipsy and it had been a long while since I last drank. I had asked him if he liked dancing and he said he was a bit shy about it and that he thought he wasn't that good. But then he took me out and I found out he was a great dancer. We danced alot. More than he had with his other friends. His other friends mentioned that it was rare of him to be dancing so much with someone cause they usually dont dance with him for long. After that, we just sat down and started talking some more. I asked him if there was anything new and that if he had any girls lined up (which was a playful joke as im a very playful person). He laughed and said no, that he's just been focusing on himself and that he likes being alone. And then he joked back and asked if I had a line of guys trying to date me, and I said no as well. I just explained that I was just working on my career and that I just havent found someone who've ive gelled with. He asked me if I tried finding someone in college and I said that I've tried and that it hasn't worked out. Then he was just telling me about how he likes writing and showed me all the pieces he's been writing. He particularly showed me one where he wrote about being patient and disciplined about yourself with the things you want to achieve. It was a great piece actually. While he was showing me these, I saw his phone screen and he told me that it was a picture of his grandfather. The things he showed me were very personal and I don't quite understand whyd he showed me. Maybe it was due to our conversation about self love or maybe he's an open book. I don't know its been years. But this really intrigued me to get to know him more. We played hand games, which he introduced to me because I've never really played before. Its when you put your hands below someone elses and you try to hit (not hard but rather normally) the other persons hands. Throughout the night we just talked and we got along well. After a few drinks, I did start to flirt with him. I said he looked cute after I found out he wasn't with anyone. I also called him gorgeous as well. I didn't ask for his number or for anything because I didn't want to make him uncomfortable or go too far. He gladly accepted my compliments saying things like thank you, i appreciate it, and then complimenting me as well saying I look nice. While talking he also called me a smart girl when I was talking about my plans. Then when he left he texted me the videos he took of the wedding where the bride, all of us girls, and his friends were dancing. I playfully said that hes a whole videographer and he said thanks i try. Then I told him that it was nice getting to know him and he said likewise I hope you had fun. Then I told him that he was a great dancer and that he shouldn't understimate himself (because he kept saying he barely knew how to dance). Then he heart reacted my comment and the conversation stopped. I feel bad for flirting with him and complimenting him. I know we're both not seeing anyone and we were having fun. But I'm not usually this confident or upfront with men. He just really caught my attention and I sort of just wanted to talk. I want to get to know him more, but I feel like he might not want that since he said he does like being on his own. I havent talked to him since last night and don't want to be too forward or make him uncomfortable. I guess my concern is was it wrong to flirt with him? Am I reading our interaction too much? I feel like I probably am and should just forget about it really.
