Maybe the guy liked you and all that but got scared.
Or maybe the guy didnt like to sit on his own, and saw you sitting down and so asked you could he sit with you?
Its just a thought 
OMG you wanted ME to say something?
I made the first move, isn’t it meant to be like chess? You didn’t even say hi. WTF is with women
*not fo’ real
I figure Delly is right. He still could have said something.
You know, if it had been me, (as the guy) I would have approached it differently. By asking to sit at the same table you are suddenly very exposed (though not in the literal sense, hopefully) - I can imagine how a possibly shy guy could work up the nerve to sit down at the same table and then totally become insecure. Not sure about what happened when he finished eating, though, but the not making eye contact and not talking. Sure, I can see that.
The better method is to sit at an adjacent table, preferably on the same side and then casually make a comment about something going on in the cafeteria/restaurant/cafe. No pressure, no need for long eye-contact (at least it is more avoidable - and if it is made and repeated that’s a good sign for the guy) and it gives both of the parties an ‘easy-out’ without the same pressure of continuing a conversation as when you’re sitting at the same table. That’s just my two cents, I’d never try this of course! (okay, maybe I have tried it once or twice…) 
Hmmm, it sure sounds like something I could have done. And yeah, I am with Coldfire and everybody else on this one: The guy liked you, but couldn’t think of something good / cool / meaningful to say.
ok, revision, “liked you” is obviously wrong, since he didn’t know you. But you know what I meant…
Hmm, y’all really think he “liked” me, eh? :dubious: If you say so. Why didn’t he realize that he needed something good/cool/meaningful to say before he sat down? Ehhh, I don’t care. Point it, the whole deal was weird.
Perhaps he was worried you’d turn out to be a mean old lady.
Perhaps. And that should have read “Point is”, btw.
When you get on a train in England, it is considered normal to approach a pair of seats where just one person is already seated, indicate the empty seat and ask “Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?”
Now clearly no-one is sitting there. (If they were, then here in England (as in many places) it is socially incorrect to sit on a stranger’s lap. :rolleyes: )
This shows a use of a strange circumlocution for a purpose.
Perhaps society (especially shy men) would be better off if we could agree on a suitable phrase when approaching an attractive young lady at a table.
I expect you straight-talking US chaps would just borrow from Joey in ‘Friends’:
“How you doin’?!”
