I'm not popular with guys, but someone might have hit on me the other day

I'm 28 year old single working at Diner in Los Angeles.
The other day, I went to library after work as usual. And then a man suddenly started talking to me.
I've never experienced something like this before, so I was really surprised and didn't know what to do.
He said he has always been interested in me, and he finally decided to talk to me on that day.
He is such a gentleman. I think he is quite handsome too.

I wasn't really sociable since I was little; especially I wasn' good at communicating with guys.
I don't think I'm pretty or fashionable either.
I'm not very appealing as my only hobby is reading books.
(Recently I'm reading a book about ants...)

So our conversation didn't last long, and he went home soon after.
I was so nervous that I can't even remember what we were talking about.
Just that, he gave me a note with his email address written on the way out.

Does this mean that he wants me to contact him?
My heart beats quickly when I think about it.

What do you guys think I should do?

I think he likes you. But don't think about it too much. Just mail him to say hello. That's the first step.

I agree with the other posters, message him! You have nothing to lose. Don't be too nervous it can just be hi for now, think about him as a potential new friend and see where things lead.

You have nothing to lose if you contact him. You can try to find him on Facebook using his e-mail address and you can add him as a friend. If he is interested in you he will start chatting with you eventually.

Be confident and try not to react like you are over interested in him.

After you make the initial contact wait for him to take the next move.

Once I read though everyone's comments, I started to think that maybe it is OK for me to send an email to the address I received. If I was to send a message though, what should I write about? I've never sent a mail to a guy so I have no idea what the contents should be. I don't have any male friends I hang out with either, so the only thing that I can get ideas from are stuff like movies.

I do like reading, but in my case I tend to read stuff about ants and insectivores, I don't know what guys are into at all.
I did get comments like maybe I should try finding more about this person. The thing is, since this is the first time I ever thought about sending a mail to a guy, so if I miss this chance I have the feeling I will never send anything to any guys in the future.
Of course I will be ready, but I really am thinking of gathering up all my courage to mail this person. Even if it does end up in an unhappy ending, I am hoping to learn from this.

I agree that you should go ahead and email him then leave it up to him. He has put the ball in your court now it's time to return it.

Maybe you could start with something like, "Hi, it was very interesting talking to you the other day."

E-mail him. He would of never gave you his e-mail address if he wasn't interested. Just say hi and that it was nice talking to him at the library.

I say go for it. E-mail communication at first will not be so overwhelming for you. Pre-plan a list of topics to write about such as any upcoming holidays, hobbies or favorite music/tv shows. The key is to take things slow.

Of course that means he wants you to contact him. If he didn't want you to contact him he wouldn't have given you his email.

Although it isn't his number don't be discouraged. He seemed decent and polite when you were talking so he was probably just trying to make you feel more comfortable at first. Maybe a chance for you to slip your number because he did say that he was always interested in you.

Do you like ants? And read the books about ants all the time?? He maybe just want to become a friend to talk about ants, not want to have like a romatic reationship.

Thanks for comments. I've read all of them. I'm surprised so many people comment on this topic, and at the same time I thank you all.

I've just emailed him. It took a few hours to write, but I did my best. I feel like I took a big step forward. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm just feel so much better now. (^ ^)

In answer the question about ants: well, I like ants, but mostly, I am curious about their lifestyle. They are amazing!

Stop being so self-conscious! I'm a lesbian, 5'3" and 170lb! I'm definitely not in shape or have anything outstanding about me but I'm a fantastic person and super funny! We all have great qualities! Be more confident and the boys (or girls) will flock! I've never had a problem in that department because of my confidence!

Well you must be pretty at least to this guy, so you should live it up. Feel good about yourself and write him an email. Keep it real casual so that he will lead the relationship if you are afraid that you will get hurt by accidentally interpreting too much. If he flat out says it, then you know where you stand. He will probably email you right back and ask you on a date or something.

I'm really shy with guys and clueless about whether or not they hit on me. Others usually have to point it out for me! ("I think he's hitting on you...") So you are not alone.

Hello, everyone.
I talked with a female friend about this incident. She was happy for me and so excited. She is not like me at all. She likes to talk with guys, and she’s very active. While holding my hands, she said to me, "I'll do anything for you, princess! Just ask me!" She seems to find all of this so much easier than I do…

Anyway, we decided to go to the library tomorrow, and if he is there, I am going to talk to him (with her there).

That is great! I think you should email him. It is much easier to email someone for a while and get to know them, if you are not used to communicating with men a lot. You will probably feel a lot more comfortable talking to him once you have been communicating with him for a while through emails.

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, you can't let the photoshopped girls on the billboards get to you, that's not what everyone wants. This guy saw something in you, something you can't see because you judge yourself based on the fake "add girls" that are shoved in your face 24/7. So stop thinking and go for it. And stop over-thinking things. If you want to do it, do it, don't think twice. That's how life should be lived. Just stay alert, and be safe. Take care.

My advice is to take it slowly. There are a lot of men who are looking for lonely women and he may be one of them. Time is on your side.

Sounds like "Love is in the air" to me :)
My advice to you is just listen to your heart and do what it says. Don`t ask other people because no one knows how you feel and what you want.
If you like him then write to him and pour your heart out. Think about the fact that it can turn out to be something great and amazing and you won`t know unless you try it :)

We(me and my friend) went to the library to see if he was there, but unfortunately he was't there... I was disappointed a little but felt kind of relieved at the same time.
So I was going back home after half an hour waiting. My friend didn't let me.(^ ^) She asked around almost everyone in the library like "Did you see the guy who look like.....". I was so surprised that she did that, and I admired her that she can take an action for what she wants to do.
And she found a guy who knows him!

Of course he wants you to contact him! Write him an email, and if you like this guy, ask him out or wait for him to do it! You don't necessarily need to ask him for a date, just discover what you have in common and ask him to do something related to it together... for example, if he likes books too, you might ask him to go to the bookshop together and help you find a present for a friend of yours :)
One more thing: I would avoid isolated places until you know him a little bit better, you never know... ;)
Hope I didn't scare you out, good luck honey!

Just do what you want to do. If you feel like contacting him would be worth it and a good thing, do it.

Yes, he totally likes you! You should contact him and see if he wants to spend time with you sometime. Maybe invite him for coffee! If you're really shy, maybe a movie. That way you're not obligated to talk to him for a while, though you're spending time with him and you'll have a subject to talk about after: the movie.

Being well read you should have no trouble talking to him via e-mail. It might be a great way to communicate sometimes. Sounds VERY promising!!
