I have recently (and about time too) broken up with my ex.
I started flirting with a a regular customer at work just because it was fun. He seemed shy (I like shy guys) but also flirted back.
Someone I work with then told him I was recently single and he backed off a bit but was still a little sheepish around me and seemed willing to continue the flirting.
I was then informed that there is a good chance he was interested in me. But I was pushed for a few weeks about it by people I work with and other customers noticed something too.
Then someone told him I was probably interested in him too.
I got sick of the gossip etc and confronted him...
I'm pretty sure I took him by surprise. I asked if what people were telling me was true. He seemed to fumble around a bit and didn't look at me. And because I was at work at the time, I had to be quick. He gave some odd answer (that I took as a "no i'm not interested") And went back to work. Then I thought, he didn't actually answer me...
He usually comes in a couple times a day. And i've been told that he hasn't been in at all for about a week now.
So, my question is...
Is it likely that I have confronted him and freaked him out to the point that he feels he cant come in. Or more along the lines of, he thinks i'm interested and is too much of a nice guy to say straight up that hes not?
