Does this boy like me really confused

[aliciemay]

Meet this guy both early 20's

Works at my local coffee shop,

Got sort of friendly ect talking about interests (have quite a few things in common so talk about when ever he serves )

Said on two occasions I was a very polite person.

Just thought he was being friendly

Then he started staring/gazing at me for more than 10secs.

I know he was staring at me as I'd look up from my drink and he'd be staring right at me, and there'd be none else sat around/near me.

Even if he was talking someone else he still turn and stare from time to time.

Started giving me free drink passes

His other workmates aren't like this.

I did start to like him but was to nervous to say anything incase he didn't like me

Seemed different around me.

Found out he was single & had been for 4years

Then last week found out on Facebook that he's just stared dating a girl which I wasn't too bother about as nothing really happened between us.

But I went to day sat down for my coffee and every know and then i would look up from my iPad and he would be gazing straight at me/sort of in trance. Wasn't smiling but had a face like concerned/ I want you but can't have /your to good for me (bit hard to explain). Then when I'd stare back he'd stare for about few secs then turn away, this happened about 4/5 times in the hour I was their.

Even when he was in a group convo with a workmate/customer he still turn around and stared why.

If he dating someone else why would he still be staring at me.

Maybe he finds you attractive. Maybe he's being a concerned employee. What do you want out of the situation?

Next time try to smile.
Do it in 2 steps.
First just look at him and make sure he saw that.
Second time look at him and smile for like 2-3 secs.
Then see what happens.
Ask him help you choose something on the menu. Let's say a dessert.
Imagine he chose something you don't like. Say with a smile "I guess It will never work between us. I actually prefer a different dessert."
It will plant the right seed in his brain.
