When the bartender approached to ask whether he wanted another drink, he responded politely by shaking his head and putting up his hand; once the bartender left to attend to other customers, the subject moved his almost empty glass a little bit closer to himself and also slightly repositioned the napkin next to the empty stool to his left. Shortly afterwards, several more people approached the bar near him and one of them asked him whether the empty stool was occupied. He seemed to respond more apologetically than necessary because he continued explaining long after the individual who asked about it began nodding and indicating with his hand gestures that he understood almost immediately....

A little while later, a woman entered the restaurant by herself and stopped to scan the area in much the same way as the subject had before proceeding to the bar. The subject caught her eye before she noticed him and he raised his hand slightly in a subtle greeting gesture when she was halfway to the bar. She smiled and approached as he stood up to greet her with a handshake. He seemed noticeably relieved.
