Petsmart Guy, HELP!!

[luminum]

Invite him to dinner next time or take him up on his offer for dinner when he asks again. Flirt back, test the waters.

Even if you guys hang out and it turns out he's straight, at least you'll have a really nice straight friend

And if he's into you and definitely flirting, then you win the game!

He said he just came in to see me and see if I was still working there

I'd take that as a *major* clue.

But, procede with caution... like luminum said, make sure that a dinner happens, and see where it goes...

Sounds like a good possible, but I agree with the others, ask him out for dinner or a drink after work, and start a friendship and take it from there.

Good luck

A dinner or a drink can never hurt. Just casually invite him.

I wouldn't read too much into it. I have gone into a store just to see if a person was still there too. Not because I was interested in sex with that person, but just because they were talking about leaving. He might have known of another job opening somewhere. I have done that, I knew of a position that was opening, sometimes it is the one I am leaving, sometimes one that doesn't interest me, but I will pass it on to someone I know is looking for a different job.

Others have suggested it, and I concur. When he comes in again, suggest meeting for dinner. But, watch and judge his reaction. I am not saying that this is the case here, but some guys don't know they are giving signals and some guys see signals that don't exist.

Dude,

Unless you take some exploratory action, you'll really never know.

In my books, a dude after HS age, if he is str8, is not really actively searching for new pals and mates. His time is precious and he is investing it most likely, into getting some pussy. Male friendships (like in only friendships) quickly fade away at that stage.

So, if my gut feeling is not completely wrong, he is up to something. Maybe, he is not a fully-out gay dude but someone, who likes you a lot and might be willing to give it a try, provided it all stays between the friends?

Carpe Diem,

SC

i agree that there might be something there, i would take him up on a dinner offer next time to get a better idea of him. anxious to hear how it turns out!

 

[Just_Believe18]

Follow his lead. Accept whatever he offers like an invitation to dinner. He wants to put you in a better position where he can advance. See where it goes from there.

Only if you have a pet.

I get strong vibes with this one. I say this guy is definately interested. I also think when he told you he was headed for dinner, that he was trying to get the nerve to ask if you could join him.

Unless you did nice things like give him free ice cream and he was concerned about losing that, I see no reason why he would just pop in to see if you still worked there.

Guys just don't pay pleasant surprise visits to other guys unless they are already good friends, or unless they a fishing for something.

 

[Joshua_me]

He wants to put you in a better position

Let's hope so.

 

[G-Lexington]

Then by all means, go visit. Pick up some dog/cat treats. Say hello. See if he wants to have lunch. See what happens.

What the heck is Qdoba?

I ignored every post in this thread other than the first one, so I don't know if anything's happened.

You: Hey man, listen, I'm gonna lay it all out on the table because I hate pussy-footing around like I was some kid. I've got a kinda bad habbit of getting interested in straight guys who are just trying to be nice, so let me know if I'm doing that, but you wanna go out to see 300* with me on Friday?

Him: Man, I'm glad you had the guts to ask me. you have more guts than I do... that's hot




- or -



Him: I'm straight.

You: Next.






* 300 is the best gay date movie ever... it's got about 30,000 men with perfect bodies wearing thongs and capes and the only female character has about 2 mintues of screen time.
