Café Servant – Where do we go from here?


Recommended Posts

I’ve been going to a café on my lunch breaks from work at around midday most days (Monday-Friday). I’ve been working there (in an office nearby) for about a year and it’s going well. Anyway, at first when I started going to the café the café servants didn’t know who I was. I was basically a newcomer of their café so still a bit of an alien concept to them all I guess. Anyway, I kept going there to buy lunch (e.g. jacket potato with cold-slaw, or keesh lorraine for examples). After maybe a few months she started even saying “hi” and “hello” to me when I came to the counter. It was like recognition at last! The café servant knew my face and greeted me like I was now in the inner circle thing of regulars. I felt welcome after all these months and I looked forward to going to my café now where all the servants knew me sort of (didn’t know my name obviously! At least I hope not LOL!!!).

Thing is, one of the servants has now tried to take our relationship to the next level. She said about the weekend today and this is what she said – “Anything nice for the weekend?”. At first I was shocked! I thought does she mean do I want to order any of her food for the weekend? So I said “I’ve got some food at home thanks”. But then she did clarify and said “Are you doing anything nice?”.

OK, so what I want to know is this – what is going to happen? I’ve moved from being an absolute nobody to being a welcome face to being her friend now. Where do we go from here? Will I be expected to do certain things now for example find out her birthday and buy here present? It’s nice of course but the lines are so so blurred now. Where do I stand?

 

You'll remain single for the rest of your life is my bet.

Aah no actually because I actually had a girlfriend so that's snided you out Haliburt.

 

As for the other people what have given helpful advice then really I thank you. Yeah, maybe the bird in question has just gotten nicer as a person in the past year. I'm not very good at that whole being social thing but some of those early answers has helped me. On tomorrow I'm going to do that gay banter thing with the servant first. World Cup is a good thing to talk about at the moment.

 

Hey lady! Great match last night.

 

Just something to say you know?

Is this the same cafe that you were moaning about recently?
