Does he think i'm cute? or is he just being nice?
To keep it short, I'm an artist (F 21) and have a crush on this older man (around 40+)that works at a gas station. I went there around a month ago, to ask if I could paint him and I took a picture of him and came back the next day, with a huge acrylic portrait painting of him. He was really surprised by my skill and it ended up being a good experience for me, especially because he's my crush and he got so happy.
I went there again today to get gas and saw him there again. His eyes lit up when I came in, and he seemed a lot more enthusiastic with me and was looking at me a lot. He instantly recognised me and tried remembering and asked for my name. (with a bit of small talk) I was surprised he noticed me at all, he held his hands in a pray-like position as I walked out and said, "You have a wonderful day ____! Take care hun!"
As I filled my car up I saw him run over to me, he handed me a receipt for a car wash that was already paid for. He told me how to use it and as he walked away I said, "Wait! Why'd you give this to me?" and he said, "Because I like you sweetie!" and I giggled and said, "Aw I like you too!" And he smiled and walked away. He also later came up to my car and helped me put In the code without me asking for help.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was just being kind towards me because he's older and is just being thoughtful. Or maybe he gave it to me because I took the time to paint him and that's his way of doing something nice in return. But, (and I realise it sounds stupid) I'm a decent looking girl and typically if guys ever talk to me it's because they think I'm cute. What does this sound like to you?
