Does it seem like this Richard guy was trying to interrupt my conversation with this other guy?

I was talking to this one guy named Tom (he works at a store that I shop at) and this other guy named Richard (who works at the same store) saw us talking. Richard was standing in the same aisle further down. Tom was telling me he went on a tour. Richard walked down got in between us and said “how was it?” While he was kneeling down fixing items and then he walked away.

I then asked Tom to grab an item for me. Richard watched as Tom grabbed the item and then he looked back at me.

I met Richard at the store seven years ago. He and I actually went out and slept together once a couple of years ago. But he was in a relationship and still has a girlfriend.

*Tom said he thought Richard just wanted to know about the tour. But I think he was interrupting*

Well technically yes he was interrupting your conversation But Bob is correct also. Does it really matter?

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

Who is Bob?

[20yearsolder]

Whoever the other dude is in the story,

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

I'm asking because I'd like to know why he interrupted our conversation.

[20yearsolder]

Cuz it sounds like he was interested in what Richard was saying

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

Richard and I weren't talking to him though. We were talking to each other and he was standing further down and came over when he saw us talking.

[20yearsolder]

But evidently he could hear the conversation and was interested in Richard's story

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

I doubt was actually interested in Richard's story.

[20yearsolder]

That's because you want to think that he's still interested in you.

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

No, it has nothing to do with if he's still interested in me or not. Even when I told Tom to go and get me something I saw Richard watching him grab the item and then he looked back at me.

[20yearsolder]

So you don't like my theory, what is yours?

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

Also when he saw me talking to him the first time he walked by saying he liked my scarf. I think sometimes he does things to try and get my attention.

[20yearsolder]

For what purpose

[VenusxoxAphrodite]

Because he likes my attention.

[20yearsolder]

Sounds to me like you've figured out the dilemma.
