He winked at me- what does it mean?

[Anonymous]

A guy that I am interested at work (a customer) was talking to someone beside me and turned and winked at me. Then I asked him how his weekend was, etc. and we had a good/funny conversation. What does his wink mean? Is he interested in me?

maybe. but I mean it's near impossible to tell you over the internet cause it's just words you're saying and I can't see the tone or body language.

but winking usually means sharing a secret. maybe he was talking to the other person to be polite and winked at you to let you know the conversation was tiresome

Well maybe some more details would help. I was in the other room when he came in, I came over and stood there and said Hi, we had a new girl that I had been training so another guy came over to help her. He was talking to them and I helped them with something then I just sort of hung out over there to make sure everything was going OK. He looked up and winked and smiled at me. I smiled right back and then started asking him about his weekend.

Yes he's interested in you. Or he's a big flirt, but I don't know his personality. I would have flat out asked him, "what was that about?" in a flirty way...if you are interested in him of course.

I am definitely interested, but there were too many people around. I just smiled- but I'm always smiling too, especially around him. He always smiles, but that's just the way he is (I guess we both are) I really like him, but I don't want to cross the the line since he is a customer. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens. Things seem to be going better as this has been going on since the beginjning of the year. I just wonder if he will ever say anything because it could be awkward..

Well I'm not sure of the nature of your work, but it's possible to be subtle when flirting (aka not like obnoxiously giggling or caressing his leg or something out of place). So smiling is a big plus, but I would think that smiling from you would be more obligatory because you are trying to please the customer. Dropping in occasional jokes, or witty sarcasm can add points. Since this is where you've worked for a while, in feel like you are more in your environment than he is, more control

If that makes sense...idk

I work at a bank, as a teller. So we are always on opposite sides of the window. At first I always just said my usual "Hi, how are you" and "Thanks, have a nice day!" but I try to ask him more about what he's doing and other questions. I guess I am just trying to get to know him better. He doesn't always ask things about me, but I think he thinks he's going to interrupt me while I'm trying to complete his transaction. Guys (much older) have asked me out before..

[snoopy13]

Ooo yeah I can see how that could kind of be awkward but I wouldn't "try to get to know him" through a bank teller window. And if he thinks that he's going to interrupt the transaction...I would invite him out somewhere. The bank's really not a good place to have a convo

Well, a girl I saw often would be flirty with me and batted her eyelashes at me when we made eye contact. You could say that's a sure sign, but nope, it was nothing. I guess its just how some people are. The only way to know is to ask.
