Nice try, piñata person, I bet you thought nobody would notice?
she keeps glancing at me
I stop looking at her all the time
hmmm
Probably hes staring at her and what hes seeing is her noticing him staring at her. Anon is indeed a fucktard.
>tries to help out at new job
>immediately gets hit on by neckbeard coworker
>he wont stop staring at me all day
Guys don’t be like anon.
Seriously? From the story, anon did everything right.
Saw potential interest, acted on it in a nonthreatening way, when no positive response came, took it as a rejection and did not harass or continue pursuing.
Anan is having an episode again and talking to mannequins
Absolutely the follow up to this green text. Anon works in clothes store haha.
Talks about how she let’s him dress and undress her but never responds to date requests
Obviously anon is a fucktard.
That being said, the situation isn’t unrealistic. It’s always amazing how people can misread eye movements.
So, if I’m in that kind of situation, my first thought is to look around and behind me. Could be there’s something nearby that’s drawing attention. You know the trope of seeing someone waving and just automatically reacting like they’re waving at you, even if you don’t recognize them?
It’s the same kind of response. We’re semi trained, and semi instinctually driven to respond to established social cues in kind. Someone waves, you wave back. Someone extends a hand for a shake, you respond with your own hand, sometimes even when you don’t usually shake hands.
Anon there could just be misreading a cue that isn’t directed at them.
Or, and this is more likely, anon sees pretty lady, and is glancing at them frequently. This can happen without really being aware that you’re doing it, our eyes tend to move around without conscious intent a lot more than people realize. Pretty lady is reacting to anon’s glances.
And that’s ignoring any of the tiny movements we make without paying attention that can draw the eye. You rarely think about something like adjusting your posture when you’re focused on something. You move, pretty lady catches movement, her eyes and head move, you catch that motion and glance towards them.
We all engage in little dances like that, often without ever realizing it’s happening. Minor shifts of body and head as two people share space that are essentially meaningless, but mimic things that do have meaning.
Depending on the kind of work involved, it can get very complex, and still be utterly unconscious.
Communication. How does that work?
You have one brief interaction and then spend the next two eternities pondering what that was, draw all sorts of baseless conclusions without attempting to contact the other person to ask for more information. I’m very good at it, been doing it for 30+ years.
What you don’t just hyperventilate when a member of the opposite sex smiles at you? What are you doing on this website, you’re weirdo
I got to love 4chan because it just reminds me the fact that I’m a catch, apparently.
Catch?
Rooted from “plenty of fish in the sea” and fishings “catch and release” fishing. It’s common to have maximum catch limits while fishing, so you will release fish back into the water if you do not intend to keep it. A catch is anyone that you intend to hang onto, or state steadily. This user is saying they are valuable to date.
i think he means he plays baseball and always catches the ball
>sort of tried once.
>haven’t talked directly to her.
>gave up.
why isn’t this working?
How many tries are too many tries?
cross the starting line before giving up, i always say
Err on the side of taking requests at face value, especially at work and at first.
Walk up to her, get down on one knee and propose to her.
She says yes as the entire company claps in unison.
Anon does not mention his smell, weight, and severe acne.
Time traveler. Gotta be.
Roast her
Ain’t that the girl from Terrifier 2?
