Is it normal i've gotten a crush on a guy who works at a shop?

I've never really liked anyone or had a crush on someone, but I went out to the shops a few days ago and met this really nice guy when I was looking for something in a store. I know workers are generally suppose to be nice to customers but he was really funny and sweet, we talked more about ourselves and afterwards he even told me he'd take off like $50 of the thing I was looking for free of charge (told me not to tell his boss though lol.)

he told me i can come in anytime and gave me his phone number, and I think I really like him. I'm not sure how old he is though, I think he's around 25 and I'm 18 which he might be a bit old for me but I love him. I know he also doesn't have a girlfriend currently because he told me, do you think I should get to know him more?

    I love the naïveté of this. All the signs are plain to see - the 'funny and sweet' attention which suggests more than mere sales patter, the exchange of personal information and the revelation that he doesn't have a girlfriend.

    It reminds me of those rom-com movies where the expression on the besotted suitor's face is so contorted with the pain of unrequited love and his eyes filled with such adoration, that he may as well have 'I love you, Stella!' tattooed on his forehead - yet, Bambi-eyed Stella remains blissfully unaware of his feelings for her.

    I like 'fluffy1iuv's clincher about the $50 discount. It's certainly worthy of consideration, although the cynic in me suspects this was probably up for grabs anyway and his boss only too well aware of it.

    However, the deal breaker for me is the giving of his phone number - he wouldn't do that unless he wanted you to call. The only caution I'd advise is to remain vigilant about his motive until you know him better. Is he in the habit of sweet talking pretty girl customers? Does he see it as a perk of the job? If so, he may well be very good at it and very convincing.

    The ball is in your court with that one. But, as the saying goes, forewarned is forearmed, so I hope we've been able to bring a little perspective to your situation.
    You're young, with all the envy that instils in those who'd love to be in a place where twenty-five seems old. By all means, have fun with this guy if he strikes you as the real deal. But just hold back on the 'I love him' part until he demonstrates his worthiness of such an honour.

    I seriously don't know why so many people are saying this isn't normal. If course you should try to get with him obviously he likes you if he gave you that discount

    Such a sweet story. Cupid scored a hit. Keep condoms in your purse, and tame your wild stallion.
