So this is a bit personal yet I think it's a good lesson for telling if a woman want's to be around you or not.

There is this young pretty store caschier I have been trying to flirt with and was close to asking out yet now I am pretty sure she's not into me and this is why I think so.

So we live in the same neighborhood and on one day we randomly met while shopping.. as soon as she sees me she tries to bury her head in her cell phone and goes around half the shop trying not to "run into" me thinking I might check out sooner and she would not have to say "hi" to me.

Yet the line is long and she ends up 2 places behind me, however she only has 2 items and somebody tells her she can skip them placing her directly behind me, to which she says "I have time" WTF!? she's willing to wait 5min extra just so she does not have to basically stand right next to me in a check-out line and be "forced" to even say "hi"..

Mind you I have had pretty good interactions with her for several weeks and was getting good vibes from her upto that point - while this did not hit me hard, as I now know to pretty much expect anything from women it did surprise me a bit.

So the general lesson here is - if you want to know if a woman really likes you and is at least thinking about being with you SURPRISE her, maybe at her work place, maybe at a gym, maybe at a coffe shop she likes to hang out at, anywhere that she does not expect you to be and see how she reacts to your presence.(at least try to make it look random even if it's not)

If she is positive about you, she should come up to you be open and look positively surprised like she sees a chance to get closer to you

If she is negative about you, she will do anything possible to avoid direct contact with you and if she has no choice about an interaction she will behave like you are just a total stranger to her and she does not want to "hang around" you

A woman can very easily put on a mask and do a "dog & pony" show for you if she EXPECTS to see you at a certain place and time yet if you meet her at random suprising both you and her THEN you will very quickly find out what she really thinks about a prospect of you being together.

PS. I have no idea why she reacted like this, there maybe several possiblities.. maybe her boyfriend was waiting for her outside maybe she's just shy and did not know how to react(unlikely), etc. but it's irrelevant I won't be wasting my time on her
