A cashier lady at a Korean restaurant kept staring at me even after I caught her looking at me. Why would she act like this?

Usually the person staring turns their gaze away the second they get caught, especially when the person being stared at makes direct eye contact with them. I was waiting for my food at my table when this happened, she stared at me from behind the counter, and I was literally the only customer in the restaurant at that time. When I noticed her staring at me, we made direct eye contact for a moment, and I actually broke my gaze with her before she broke hers with me because I felt shy. And no, she wasn’t staring at me because my food was ready or whatever, it wasn’t. She was also running her fingers through her hair as she was looking at me. What could have been going through her head?

Dude, I think she might have been checking you out!

Some possibilities:

- She thought you were cute and wanted a better look. Running her fingers through her hair is something girls do when they're interested sometimes.

- As the only customer there, you probably caught her attention. And once she started looking, she realized she thought you were hot.

- Girls can be shy too. Even if she got caught staring, she might have held the gaze cause she was nervous but still wanted to look at you.

- Maybe she likes guys with your kinda look and was just admiring from afar. Happens to me all the time, chicks be starin'.

- Who knows, could be she thinks you're out of her league and was psyched you made eye contact. A spark, ya know?

I'd take it as a compliment dude! She clearly thought you were worth a long look. And you never know, maybe she was hoping you'd come over and chat her up. If you go back, you should smile and say hi. Worst case, free food. Best case, you get her number! Nothing wrong with a little flirting at work if there's a vibe.
