    I have been specifically and repeatedly told women at work don’t want flirting or any other interpersonal interactions. So that shit is shut completely off when in public.

      And that’s absolutely true! Until the one time it’s not, and then it’s your fault for not knowing.

      TBF, I normally go by “off limits unless they make an obvious move”.

      Which the cashier definitely did. Of course, like the OP I wouldn’t realize it till later…

        The hard part is the knowing that so called obvious move.

          You can usually tell by their feet. For example, if they’re behind their head.

          Hindsight is always 20:20.
          Just wait patiently for the realisation that’ll pop into your head 2 years later just as you’re falling asleep .

        I also go by “off limits unless they make an obvious move”. I’ve never been in a relationship but maybe that’s a feature not a bug.

        But was it an obvious move, or did you read too much into the friendliness they’re paid to show all customers?

          Without being there it’s always a guess. But putting “You know” at the front like that is pretty damn explicit. She wasn’t just making a random comment. That’s like movie trope obvious.

          There are always outliers though, she could of had a brain fart, or he could have said something to make her believe he felt she was working late.

            could of

            could have

            Both in the same sentence. I rarely bother correcting grammar these days, but it’s weird you know the correct way and also use the wrong way.

              They could of had a brain fart or they could have used both cases so at least one was right; they just didn’t know which one. 🤔

                Which is exactly what I did!

                I’ll blame it on being on mobile ( a sin by itself) by a campfire and dog to distract me

          That’s when you ask things plain and simple. One of my exes was the manager for a fast food joint and at the end of her shift, sitting at my table and kinda chatting away. At some point I simply asked her “so are we going back to your place to make sweet love after that, or what?” with my french accent on full blast. It had the desired effect of making things clear.
          I wish I had had the balls to do that more often in my life!
