A few weeks ago they had hired a new guy at the job I'm currently working at. While I was in the middle of talking to my bakery supervisor my manager was walking him through the kitchen to show him what it's like. The guy had said right as he had seen me: Hey don't I recognize you from somewhere? I thought I had a common face, until last week I had found out he went to the same college as me. He had been taking culinary class while I was taking the baking classes.

I thought about it more later, I don't think someone would remember a face if they didn't think they were cute. Especially, when it was almost 2 years ago I had graduated.

Also when I talk to him he seem to open up quite a bit more because otherwise he doesn't bother to talk to me. Considering the other day I had asked him how he was doing, he seemed to blush and asked me right back.

It's hard to tell because I don't know if he behaves that way around everybody.

I also wanted to see what your opinions are on dating shy people?

I would like to get to know him more, which I plan to slowly approach him bit by bit. Which works out at work anyways because we are always busy.

Also sorry about my title, I am half a sleep.

About him recognizing you that might not mean anything. About him being able to open up more when talking to you that can mean something and he most likely dosen't open up like that to other people. I think that it will be a little hard dating a shy guy they are reserved and won't be able to say or do things he would like to do like asking you out for a date it will probably be a long run or you may need to "do the talking" that guys usually are the ones that do that, or maybe he can go beyond his shyness to try to get close to you. Each person acts in a diferent way, there is no telling exactly how it will work but the good thing about shy people that don't open much is that when they do open for someone they have strong feelings for that someone.

To simply remember a face does not mean that the face was cute to them - the face might have been interesting and thus memorable, which is not exactly the same as cute; and/or, he simply might have a very good memory in the department of human faces.

So by itself, it is a fairly neutral fact.

However, HOW he remembered you is quite endearing. I think he was happy to see you at his new place of work and I think he likes you well enough. Since he is shy, your plan to approach him slowly is good - you won't scare him off.

Something yummy might come out of this...

I think that it'd be best to take your time to get to know him before assuming anything. It's possible that he was relieved to see someone that he knows there. If he does like you in a romantic way, then he'll probably act differently around you than any of the other women at work. He won't mention a g.f or any dates probably if he is serious about eventually asking you out IMHO.

Just be friendly for now and wait and see what happens. Maybe you can even ask questions to get him to open up, compliment him (guys love that), and maybe even smile and flirt with him once you get to know him after a couple of months. I think that coming on strong in any way might scare a shy guy off. If he is really shy, then maybe you should invite him out sometime and see what happens.

Yes, I agree that I need to take my time to get to know him. I know shy people are more "fragile" at first do to past happenings that I have no idea about. That's why I said approach him bit by bit to get to know him. Which after a couple months maybe ask him to hangout depending how I feel too.

I also want to mention that I have no thoughts of a romantic approach. I myself want a relationship to go steady, a friendship at first before going any further. I have no clue if this guy and I have common interests even, EXCEPT for food. he. Your husband and wife should be your best friend before and after getting married.
