Hey there -
A girl who works in a coffee shop began flirting with me about a month ago. On the rare occasions when she's working and I'm a customer, I've always flirted back. She's initiated several chats, as have I. We've also smiled plenty and made significant eye contact. I've noticed her eyeing me as I've left, pushing her hand through her hair as she first notices me, etc.
I would have made a move to ask her out if I hadn't been in the middle of ending a long-term on-again off-again relationship. The coffee shop girl is beautiful, we have plenty in common, and I'd love to date her. So I've been keeping the kettle warm, so to speak, by continuing to flirt with her.
But I haven't made a serious move because I don't want this to be a rebound relationship.
The thing is, I think she just decided that I'm not actually interested in her, and she's shut off her charm and eagerness to talk to me. That's understandable. I assume she thinks I would have made a move if I were interested and not merely chatty.
So how can I return to being a potential mate in her eyes? How can I show that I'm interested now that she probably thinks that I simply like to talk?
I'd like to warm her up to the idea that I like her before asking her out.
You advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
