It sounds like she just couldn't handle the embarrassment/awkwardness and/or you said something that offended her or she thought was inappropriate.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of just assuming #1 - that she wasn't interested and didn't approach her again when I saw her in the next aisle over but in retrospect I'm wondering if maybe I should have given her a few minutes and then approached her a 2nd time asking for her # or email address?

What do you guys/gals think?
Impossible to know.
I'm also curious as to what the 'flirtatious comment' was and what led up to it

I think you're nutz.

In another thread someone is wondering if no means no or if it's playing hard to get.

Is there a full moon tonight? What's with you guys?

If a woman turns and walks away from you in mid-conversation or tells you that she's not interested in you, she's not interested in you. Bank it.

Don't know if you're joking or not but yes, I probably smiled at him.

Sounds like you said something you though was flirtatious but she thought was inappropriate. She physically removed herself from the situation, without excusing herself or anything; it's safe to assume she wasn't interested.

You mentioned you thought she was interested because she was blushing. People blush for a variety of reasons. I look like I'm blushing hen I get upset or angry, for example. Or she could have been blushing because you said something that she found embarrassing . . . In a bad way.

I think we'd all be interested in knowing more about the specifics of what you said and what she said; it would help clarify the situation.

You did the right thing in my opinion and honestly it is hard to say how she took the comment that you meant to be flirty. IF you happen to see her again in the market see what happens, she may approach you or she may not. If you do happen to see her again as you are walking past her you might say something simple like: "Hey, it's nice to see you again, have a great day" then continue on your way.
That way you have been cordial, you have shown interest and you have put the proverbial ball in her court to approach you after that or not.

Good luck.
