I agree with **NurseCarmen**. You were being flirted with, but you weren’t being hit on.

Still lots of fun, though.

When you go back, either go alone, or with an obviously straight guy-friend. She needs to know that you aren’t “married to” one of the girls you were with. THEN you can really flirt!

The OP reads like the script to a Rat Pack movie.

No- she hates you, and never wants to see you again, she probably went right to the bathroom and vomited after touching you accidentally. You should avoid that restaurant, and in fact all restaurants, because people in the service industry talk to each other and your name is surely on the wire.

Sheesh. Go in again and say hi.

I think she was just engaging in Bubbly Hostessy Goodness. That’s the kind of personality they want at the front of the restaurant. Someone who will put people at ease and let them know the restaurant wants them to have fun. She may have been doing the light flirt thing, but if she really had designs on you, I don’t think you’d have to ask us how to interpret it. I suppose you could watch her in action to see how she is with other people. My guess is there will be more of the same because that’s just who she is.
