Did I seem dismissive to this girl?

Post Reply New Topic

There's this really pretty girl that I've hung out with once or twice who's helping me get a job at Best Buy and I went up there yesterday to give her my resume and another guy who was working there took it for me first because the line was getting too long. And then she saw me and smiled and waved to me from the counter. She was looking at me the whole time, it was just a really genuine smile, it didn't look like it was just being polite, it looked like I had brightened up her day or something. Since I turned in the application and the line was getting massive, I said "thanks again, I appreciate it", and I walked away and she seemed like she was surprised I didn't stay and said O.K. see ya later and I just kind of nervously nodded and said see ya and walked off(it makes me nervous being in the store)

I think she might like me by the way she was looking at me, and I don't want to feel like I was being blunt or anything. I was thinking about texting her and apologizing for not staying and chatting but people tell me you shouldn't do that because it doesn't make you look like a man

Sounds like you did nothing wrong to me. You were there to turn in an application, and you turned in your application, mission accomplished! As long as you at least said a brief "hello" or some sign of acknowledgement to her, I think it's fine, particularly if it was busy at the time. I wouldn't apologize for not chatting....just make up the lack of conversation in this instance by talking to her later

It's called: being yourself, having character, and sounding like a lovely, respectful guy.

Yeah, I figure if I get hired, I'll be seeing plenty of her anyway. The way she made it sound, they were almost desperate for somebody who was good with computers so I should almost definitely have it.

Can't really help you here, buddy. I've been on the same boat all my life. I'm always unsure of female motives, and find out that females were in fact hitting on me a year or two later (when it is obviously too late). The best solution I find here is the "Shotgun/Spray & Pray Method" where you talk to everyone until you eventually find someone who likes you. If it's 1 person out of 100, it's still one more than if you didn't try at all. Then there is the "Relentless Assault Method" where you don't hold back and she either reciprocates, or tells you to get lost. It has a rather all-or-nothing approach, but it does free one of tortuous uncertainty. This has a rather low success rate, but is definitely higher than the "Watch and Shoot Method" that I've been using for years, where you just camp-out and wait for the perfect opportunity for the perfect shot which will deliver the "kill". Tends to waste your years away, and before you know it you're an old man who never got his shot.

Don't worry about the negative comments that could be said here. Just let it be and talk to her. You have been given something to work with, now go for it.

it's better that you didn't stay and chat because it could negatively affect your job possibility. flirting while you handing a resume is not exactly a good idea. if you do work there, you can get to know her over time.

She was attending a long line of waiting folks at her job. You did the right thing.

If you want to text her do it. Seeing her while handing in the resume is a perfect reason. Guys with game wouldn't hesitate to do that. The unmanly thing to do would be if you apologize for leaving the store as part of the text.
