It's not what you think

Today, at Starbucks, I complimented the awkward nerdy barista's name tag because of the funny Sonic decorations on it. The dude took it as me flirting and gave me my drink with Sonic drawn on it. I had applied to work there and now I can't go back. FML

I think it was a cute, simple compliment that you gave and he was giving you a cute response. Doesn't confirm nor deny that you want to have his babies. You can go back, I promise.

He obviously thought you would appreciate it. It may not have even been meant as flirting.

<p>Ahh, poor you. You have talked to "the social outcast (tm)", and he responded with somethign cute to your compliment. Since obviously it is beneath you to talk to him again... I mean come on he likes Sonic. That means you seriously can't have a serious talk with him should he advance you again. Because everybody knows nerds need to advance all woman who talk to them, cause so few do...</p>

<p>Wowsers, you're going to have far bigger things in life to worry about than seeing some kid again who was possibly just being friendly and drew on your cup. It was a nice gesture. I guarantee you he's not going to feel awkward about working with you, that's your insecurity.</p>

<p>Wowsers, you're going to have far bigger things in life to worry about than some friendly geeky kid who drew on your cup. I guarantee you, if you end up working with him he won't be awkward about it at all, that's your silly insecurity and he won't even think about it.</p>

<p>Sounds like a&nbsp;bit of an overreaction... Just like those women who automatically say "I have a boyfriend", you too sound a bit&nbsp;like an ass. &nbsp;Gender aside, I think that what he did was so cool, and I would've wanted to make friends with him, regardless of his intent. &nbsp;That said, without any actual information, I am most likely&nbsp;being very judgy, so i'm sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick.</p>
