Ok, so I was at a convenient store and I noticed this young woman reading through magazines while I was shopping for some snacks. I caught her eyeing me and when I only glanced for a moment, she darted her eyes away.

I walked passed her and negged her saying "what are you nervous about?" and walked outside. I was using my wifi from outside and later noticed her get in her parked car, which was conveniently parked right where I was standing.

Here is the strange thing. She was sitting in her car for a long time, looking at her phone (but it looked fake) while eyeing me every so often. At one moment, she even put some lip stick or lip gloss on and continued sitting with her phone. My point is that she wasn't overly focused on her phone, but almost pretending to be looking at it to see if I would approach her to talk with her again?

She eventually left after like 10 minutes of this. I was tempted to go up and talk to her, but I had a feeling that she would have just been too nervous and acted strange/rejected me if I did hit on her.

I sometimes read that women will put on make up in front of a man either when they are just being defensive and they are letting you know you don't have a chance or when they are attracted to you. so it is confusing as hell.

Has anyone been in a situation like this? Where you have noticed a woman giving you attention and looking like she was finding excuses to linger around a while?

Really nothing? Nobody has experienced this type of situation before?

It always makes me curious as to why you always have questions on what a girl was doing in almost any given scenario. Why not just make something happen instead of standing around being confused? You heard something could mean this or that...go find out on your own. The moment one person says she's probably interested then another guy will chime in and say she was ignoring you. Do what you need to do and quit running back to the forum and asking everyone else to analyze the situation.

Yes, I know what you are saying but I also really hate when women seem to be sending me IOI's and then they turn me down not even due to a misunderstanding. I noticed a lot of women will send IOI's and then be too shy to back it up and actually talk with me. Other times they are just sending IOI's for validation, which is annoying but I know it happens.

I also thought that walking up to a woman while she is in her car seemed creepy and awkward...even if she did in fact send me IOI's. Next time I run into this situation, I'm going to just approach the woman when she is in her car and see how she responds.

Oh yeah, just last night I was walking out of a convenient store and there was a young woman smiling at me as I walked passed her. It was a genuine smile, not some fake one. So I decided to use the wifi out front and wait until she came out to talk with her. Anyway, when she came out, I called her over to me and told her to add me to her Line so we can talk more next time and she just said sorry, no its ok. I don't have Line either, goodnight. wtf? Why would she feel the need to give me this big smile and look at me so much as I was leaving if she "wasn't interested"? An extreme case of validation seeking?

I don't know about you, but I don't waste my time smiling at people I have no interest in...some people are strange to me.

You are your own worst enemy. Just about every story you tell is a girl showing interest and you walk away. Girls wasting time smiling and you don't say anything worthwhile when she's showing interest. Instead you want to circle back thinking that a moment given to you lasts forever.

Well, I figured she was busy and didn't want to be rude. She was chatting with one of the clerks and after noticing me suddenly stopped chatting and looked me right in the eyes and smiled. I knew her conversation with her wasn't actually finished. I realize that I could have said hello, but I go there often and didn't want the clerk (also female) to just stand there and watch me hit on this other chick. It would have probably been awkward as hell.

While moments don't last forever...it does seem a bit ridiculous that her moment of interest couldn't have even lasted literally a couple of minutes lol. Why are women so flaky with such fleeting emotions? If she was truly interested, hence the genuine smile...why would she just betray this feeling 2 minutes later and turn me down? Was it that easy to hurt her pride? I smiled back. That is fucking insane to me. If I like a woman and smile and she doesn't say anything but circles back a couple minutes later, I would never in a million years consider that a reason to shut her down...then again I am a man not a woman.

From how you describe it you're probably right, but I guess you already knew that and you just posted this because you knew you missed your opportunity.

So, YES you missed an easy opportunity. Now stop thinking about it.

Answered your own question.
As you know it's easier when you're not in your head questioning yourself and you just go interact. Since she was in the car the clerk probably wouldn't have seen the interaction. Never know the possible result unless you approach.

No, actually the woman talking with the clerk was inside the convenient store. It wasn't the same woman.

The situation with the woman in the car happened a day before this other smiling woman.

But still, I will keep in mind that the window of opportunity for women is like 0.007 seconds for next time lol.

True lol. Often you'll get a reasonable window though. Sometimes it's a tiny window like that though or just a few seconds.

A smile is just a smile. Sometimes it means she is attracted and interested... sometimes it means she's attracted but not interested (bf or just doesnt want to date/fuck), sometimes chick just smiles. If you're attracted, sure approach, but you're never going to find a pattern with this shit.

You can't do pickup with getting rejected by some, hell most, women.

I was just commenting to someone about how lame and how no-game-having those losers are who hang around gas stations and convenient stores like loose change and holler at women passing by. Their opener and close is usually the same line: "Hey baby, how you doin, let me get your number"

That might work on like 1 trashy girl out of a 100, which is why these losers probably do it. But where is the rapport building? Where is any semblance of actual game? It doesn't matter what signals you think she is giving you, if you don't run proper game you aren't going to close very often. It's that simple. AND don't be a convenient store lurking loser.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't ever plan on becoming a Jay and Silent Bob, lurker type. I go to convenient stores to buy what I need and I always return home right after that. I never hang around unless I need to use the WIFI or message someone.

That's a stupid comment. You can stroll around a grocery store without being a "lurker." If you wanna bang hot chicks, you gotta go where hot chicks are.
