Understanding men
This post is targeted at the dating community but really anyone who is interested or would like to contribute to the dialogue is of course welcome to do so here.
Premise: a man is trying to get the attention of a girl at her place of work while on shift. I saw this on twitter, but I’m not quoting anyone here. All text below is paraphrased.
Guy of indeterminate age went to a coffee shop. He ordered his coffee from the same girl most mornings for a week. He liked her, tried to make eye contact, chatted her up a little. She treated him professionally but didn’t engage with him beyond her professional mandate.
After a while, he got a little impatient. He upped the ante and smiled at her more, tried to converse with her more, deepened his eye contact.
She didn’t respond beyond her professional duty.
Next, he decided to show up with flowers and a box of nice chocolates. When it was his turn to order his coffee from the same girl, he handed her the chocolates and flowers.
She declined them both politely and offered to take his drink order.
Guy is offended. He spent 30 bucks, and went out of his way to be nice to her, right? He made a bit of a scene, noticed he got attention from the other patrons…
