A woman said she liked me and I said nothing

[Triple Bogey]

well if it isn't this week she won't come in again. So strange. She seemed a regular customer as well.

 

[Triple Bogey]

nearly a month now.

Guess I will never know what she meant. I will always wonder. It's my luck in a nutshell.

Is this the woman who talked to you at New Year's, and said how lovely you were? The one you thought might have been tipsy? Didn't she say she worked at Boots? If so, why not just pop in one day and see if you bump into her...It could be possible she mentioned where she worked as an 'in' for you.

yes it was her. I did go in the nearest 'boot's but she wasn't there. Loads of 'boots' as well, none of them walking distance. No idea which one she meant either.

David, I have no idea if this lady will show up again or any words of wisdom to offer.
But I keep waiting for your signature to change to something like Turns out I'm not such a bad guy after all!
That will be a day to remember when we see that

aw thanks. If I ever get some good news I will certainly post on here. I would write a new thread - 'going on date' or 'going for a coffee' - if that ever happens. Don't know maybe that woman changed her shopping habits and doesn't use my shop anymore. It does happen. I will never know if it was anything to do with me or what she said. The Saturday woman - it's hard to make any progress when I have 5 minutes to talk to her a week. This new starter, I know nothing about her. She probably will have someone.

I have tried to make my signature more positive.

I worked my new Friday afternoon shift today and guess what ? She comes in. We walked right past each other. She didn't speak or do anything. I went back to the till area where she was. She was getting served. I went to serve some customers. I was stood only a few feet from her. She didn't even glance at me. I would have said 'hello' but she didn't give me the chance. She then walked out.

So obviously a non starter.

 

[Triple Bogey]

Finally, I got a chance to talk to her !
This has been nagging at me, I wasn't happy at the way I acted and I wanted to make things better.
Today was the day, 3 months later. She came in and didn't buy much. She approached my till looking a bit anxious. I said 'hi' and then said 'I haven't seen you for awhile' - this was the right thing to say because she smiled at that. She then told me she was drunk on Boxing day. So I said 'sorry' and explained how I didn't recognize her because she had a xmas jumper on and only realized later on who she was. I said I felt bad about not saying anything and had been hoping she would come in so I could say sorry. She said there was no need and something like 'what are you like ?' - We said 'bye' - I felt a lot better, really glad I finally got to say 'sorry' - not sure if she does like me, pretty sure she has been avoiding the shop because of embarrassment. She is a regular customer. I hope she comes in soon. I saw her badge and she is called 'Kerry'

Big thumbs up on this!! Really, you handled that situation so perfectly.
I hope there's more to add to the story eventually...

Wow, you handled that great! Makes sense that maybe she was embarassed and avoiding the shop after being drunk.
So what will you say next time she comes in?

I don't know. I have no idea if she meant it, I can't really ask her.
I don't know what to make of it. Was she been sarcastic because she was a bit tipsy ? - And she thinks the opposite of what she said. (I am miserable and not jovial) Or she was tipsy so she had the courage to say how she felt ? She definitely came into the shop more often before she said it. And it must have been on her mind since she brought the subject up. Was the 'I was drunk' line a way of saying 'look don't get any ideas about what I said'

I mentioned it to a colleague this morning at work and she was really positive. She said 'look to see if she's got a wedding ring on'

I think it may have been her way of apologizing. She may have thought that you were uncomfortable at what she said. Don't read too deeply into her "I was drunk" apology. I think she was apologizing for the general awkwardness of the situation regardless of whether she actually likes/liked you or not.

If she comes in again and chats and is receptive, then you'll get more opportunities to find out how she feels.

yes I think your right. I was glad I didn't feel awkward when I was talking to her. I felt calm and composed. Lets see what happens when she comes in again.
