From what I understand, all a guy needs is a smile, and he thinks you're interested! ;)

Joking aside, what you could do is act like he's familiar to you from somewhere. So, you could say something like, "Sorry, excuse me, but you look really familiar... have I met you somewhere?". In Austin, everyone's just about six degrees of Kevin Bacon to one another. Met you in college? Friends of a friend working at X? If it doesn't match up, you can just say he really looks like this cool guy you met at X, or brother of a friend you met at X once. In any case, it's a good way of getting someone to start talking about themselves, even if your interest is non-romantic.

If he's smart enough to be on to you, that's ok too. Coz then the flirt is ON! That's kinda the point, right? ;D

itza has the right of it... Next time you go in do the coy smile thing. You know what I'm talking about. Look up, let him catch you looking, look away and *tiny* grin (I'd say 1/2 a dimple's worth) to yourself.
Moving is your excuse to keep things light.
It took me forever to even figure out when someone was flirting with me, and I still don't know how to respond.

In case you didn't notice, blowing off another customer and doing a double take is evidence you HAD a flirtation.

If you're still not sure, just gift the guy a sharp knife and one of those chain mail butcher gloves and you're golden. Or, if that's too expensive, stop and ask him for a recipie for pork spleens. He'll get to show off his intelligence that way and pork spleens always make me hot.

Beginner flirtation tip? Next time you go to WF, go back to the meat counter and thank the guy and tell him what great thing you cooked with it. Or next time you buy meat, be sure to insist that that guy help you.

You know what the meat guy has in his pants? Meat.

Supposedly eye contact prolonged slightly beyond what's normal is sufficient. But if you want to be sure, flattery works well, too.

However, in this case, give yourself and the guy the benefit of the doubt, and assume he's just too professional to flirt openly on the clock...? It sure sounds like you had some flirt going there.

Or you could just go back and say, ""Your meat you gave me last time? Mmmmmm, it was soooooo goooood. I ate it allllll. And I swear, I just haven't been able to stop thinking about your meat ever since."

'Cause, y'know, that's a little more subtle.

Hellloooo....we aren't in the 50's here. Obviously he's interested. Go back and invite him for coffee. Or dinner. Or playtime. Just. Do. It.

If you misinterpreted, so what? You never have to see him again.

I am told that flirting involves asking lots of questions and showing interest. That's what I'm told anyway.
