My friends and I hang out at this sports bar every Thursday night. There's a waiter there that's been looking good to me since the beginning of the year. He kinda flirted with me last fall, but I wasn't in a good place personally, so I didn't do anything about it. Now I'm in a much better place with myself and feel I could have fun with this guy. Maybe even a relationship. The good thing is, even though I kind of ignored him last fall, he still seems interested in me.

Well, last night was Thursday, so I met my friends at the bar. The waiter was there, but he wasn't our waiter. We were seated in his section. I was sitting with my side to one of my friends, both so I could watch the Olympics (which were on the TV behind the bar) and so she could talk to me at the same time. So, this waiter is working in his section, serving other people, and I'm turned around in my chair, watching TV. Everytime the waiter has to walk through his section, he went directly in front of me. I had my whole body turned towards the TV, and I was stretched out at times. I don't know if this makes any sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is, was this really the best way for him to get around his section, or was he trying to get me to notice him? He didn't exactly block my view of the TV, but he was in my eyeline at least ten times.

We stayed a pretty long time, so long that we were one of the last groups there. He's kinda friendly with one of my friends (she's married with three kids, but really easy to talk to), so he came over and said hi to us and was talking to us. He mostly talked to my friend (the married one was sitting right next to me), but he glanced in my direction a couple of times. Did he want to make sure I was listening?

Then, the real kicker. As all of the other groups left, he was cleaning his section. He went up and down the booths (in my seat, the booths were directly in front of me if I turned my body to the right, which I had by then), and rearranged stuff, wiped the tables down, and was sweeping the floor with a broom. He came right over in front of me with the broom, and I seized the opportunity. I said, in a flirty way, "So do you do windows?" He kept his back to me, and still swept, but said no, and then something else that I didn't really hear. When he finished saying it, he was turned around, facing me, and smiling. I smiled back, and his smile got bigger. So I looked away and let him get on with his work.

When we were leaving, he was coming towards the door from the back. I was the first one out, so I said, "See ya!" and smiled at him. He smiled back, saluted me, and said good night. I thought that was very cute.

These are all good signs to me. So if you understand my crazy story and would like to give me some advice, what should I do next? I'd like to continue flirting with him, but I'd like to see him outside of his job. I know I should get away from my friends (who are my safety net) when I want to talk to him. Should I be bold and write my phone number on a napkin? Should I wait until he asks? I feel like I don't know him well enough to know which he would prefer. I don't want to scare him off, but I don't want to sit around waiting for a guy to make a move if he's waiting for me to do the same. He's very friendly, so I have a feeling if I'm away from my friends, he may ask for my number. What do you think?
