I went out to dinner a couple nights ago with a group of friends. It was me, my best friend, another female friend of ours, a guy who’d liked me for a while (I’m not interested), another guy friend, and a guy my best friend knows (we’ll call him X). I want to preface, I’d never met X before this. We went to get fast food as a group the 6 of us because it’s close to the end of the semester and we were just looking to hangout with some people we didn’t usually talk to. Anyway, we all order our food and everyone gets their orders except for me. It took me about 5-10 minutes to realized they’d lost my order, so I was standing up at the front waiting on the workers to notice me. I turn to look back at our table to see what they were doing and I find that X has walked up behind me and is offering that he help me get the worker’s attention. I thanked him awkwardly but denied it, feeling bad for taking so long. I ended up getting someone’s attention immediately after and being able to stand there and wait. I end up standing there waiting for about half an hour, and I played around on my phone the whole time not paying attention to my surroundings. My two girl-friends told me after the fact that apparently X had excused himself to check on me 3-4 times and I never noticed. After I’d gotten my meal I went and sat down and we all ate together. X was very talkative after this and kept trying to make jokes and start conversations. Through all of this he made very consistent eye contact with me, looking over my best friend who sat between us to look at me. According to my two girl-friends, X seemed most excited to talk to me, and supposedly from his demeanor he was interested. From his behavior do you think that this makes sense? I’ve been told he’s very polite and friendly, but kind of awkward and shy at times despite being talkative. I didn’t see his behavior as interested/flirty, but I’ve been told I’m oblivious to when guys show interest in me unless it’s obvious.
Was this guy flirting/interested?
