    Hi,

    Trying to get over the now ex by trying to meet new people.
    I was in a certain shop about 8 months ago and a gorgeous girl working in there (mid 20s) caught my eye i was single at the time.
    Just as i was going out i said "whats your name if you don't mind me asking" she gave it gladly and smiles and asked mine.
    I said "Next time you see me i might ask ya out" and she said "Right so" and smiled.
    So i remembered when i was back in there last week and said "remember me?" she said no at first but then she said "oh yeah i remember you! how are you" etc.
    Anyway, i said "i should have asked you if you'd like to come for a Coffee with me sometime back then" and she turned around and gave a really nice look and a smile and said "yeah ij, that'd be nice". so i said shall i grab your number? "and she kinda looked confused, i don't know if she heard me, i shrugged my shoulders and she started laughing. Then someone i knew who worked there came over and i was talking to her, and the other girl kinda went out of sight.
    She seemed to be staying out of sight, going in behind etc until i left.
    Then an hour later i called asking for her, i said "hi it's me" and was gonna say i had to leave so couldn't get her number, but as soon as i said my name, there was silence.. and she hung up lol.

    What now?

    I'd say leave her be. It doesn't sound like she's interested.

    She's not interested. Her behaviour was polite and nothing else, and she tried to avoid you when you started asking for her number. If you go into that shop again don't go looking for her or say more to her than Hello and Thanks if she serves you.

    To be honest, I'd say the whole approach, in particular ringing back, probably creeped her out and you should probably take the hint.

    Did you call the shop to ask her out?

    Sounds as if she was being polite but she's not interested.

    How did you call her if she never gave you her number? Did you ring the store she works at?

    You had a chance, went full creep and scared her off, it's game over with her.

    If this all happened 8 months ago, why are you asking, "what now?" Surely it's a bit late for anything at this stage, no?

    I think the first interaction (i might ask you out next time) was 8 months ago, then recently he went in and was like "remember me?".

    But regardless, I think op should just call it quits with this one.

    What do you mean ''what now''? I would have thought that was plainly obvious.

    Instead of telling her eight months ago that you might ask her out next time you see her, you should have asked her out then.

    Hotman obviously ain't so hot.

    Hotman,

    Based on the fact that you have just returned from a week long ban for breaching the mod instruction in this thread, and again in this thread, not to create any more new threads in PI/RI for a while, it's unfortunately becoming clear that you are not willing to follow the charter laid out for the Personal Issues forum. The fact that your threads are all at odds with each other (you have been single, married and have had a girlfriend all in the space of the last three weeks) is also causing me some confusion.

    Thread closed, and please use the next month off from the forum to seek external help.

    Regards,
    Mike
