Before I ask.

First of I'm not thinking into this too much, just curious since it happened last night. I won't dwell into it too much.

Secondly, I have no interest in this woman.

I get in my building last night and a neighbor, who I just know casually (we just say hi when we see each other), ask me if I can do her a favor.

"I just bought this watch and I can't figure out how to set the timer. Can you come in and take a look at it?"

So I go in her apartment and work on the watch. We talked a little about her job since she brought it up then I said goodbye and left.

Would you consider this just a neighbor asking for a favor? Or do you think she has some interest in me? She doesn't know me well at all, but I guess feels safe bringing me in her place since I'm a neighbor.

Did she give any buying signals while you were there? Playing with her hair, laughing at anything remotely funny you said, etc.

She did laugh at a couple of my stupid smart ass remarks.

"Why do you need the timer? Do what I do. Run until you're tired."

She was standing very close to me when I was reading the instructions.

She took her shoes off. But she just got home and I'm assuming she didn't want to walk around on the carpet with them on.

That's about it since I wasn't really looking for the usual signals.

Maybe I just come off as a friendly guy. Who knows....

Yeah...

She invited you in. She trusts you. She laughs at your stupid jokes. You could probably get it with little effort...

Thing is, if you go for it and it doesn't work out, chances are you'll run into her from time to time. Could be awkward.

Take that one slow and think before you strike...

This is one of the oddest, most incredulous stories I've ever heard. She needs help setting her watch? Zuh?

The first thought that crossed my mind is that she has no strong male presence in her life at this time... otherwise they would have gotten the call on the watch, or to help program her vcr, or de-fragment her hard drive, or whatever other petty difficulties her delicate female mind can't comprehend. So, given the fact that there is no other man around, I would deduce two things: 1) She is hungry for some sausage. AND 2) Your sausage is as good as any other (in her mind).

What I would do, should this bizarre situation ever present itself to me, is stand up after fixing the watch and in a bold, masculine tone ask her, "Is there anything else you need?" Making sure to stand as close to her as possible while staring intently into her eyes with a mischievous smirk on my face. Hey, if she's f*ckable, might as well run with it! If she's really down for some action, it doesn't get any easier than that.

LOL.

About the watch .... it was some specific thing she wanted to do with the stopwatch. Guy at the store tells her that the watch will do this. She tried to figure it out first, but couldn't then asked me. I didn't get it working since the watch wasn't able to do it in the first place.

I won't say you blew it, but she did give you a perfect opportunity. You could have asked her to have a drink or lets get together or anything.
She could be shy but, bold enough to think of a stupid excuse to ask you over.
Tell her you have been thinking about the watch and you have an idea and you would like to look at it again some night around 8?
