Mirth Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Hey guys. Was just musing about something earlier and thought I'd share it here and maybe get some thoughts and input. I just moved into a new city was at a local Mexican supermarket a week ago and was checking out when the cashier all of the sudden asks me where I was from and started flirting (at least in my mind it was flirting . I was kind of taken off guard we had chatted for a bit and I left. I then proceeded to mentally kick myself for not doing something more about it. Well part of this was because I'm Asian and the idea of dating a Mexican girl had never really occurred to me or the idea that one would just talk to me like that. In any case I saw her earlier today and got into her line. She saw me and gave me a nice smile and I said hello and we exchanged introductions in Spanish. She mentioned to me that she was studying to be a Spanish teacher when she was in Mexico so I told her that I was looking to improve my Spanish and if she could help me. (That's the truth, not just an excuse). She said sure and asked me to write my info on a notepad she had and said she would call me. (???) I didn't want to throw out any more moves asking for a number or anything since her manager was walking around and there were customers behind me. We chatted some more about where I learned Spanish and I also asked her if she was busy during the weekend of the coming week and she said she was going on a trip to visit family in Mexico or something. We exchanged goodbyes and I left. So did I bungle this or totally misread the situation? Any honest input would be appreciated.
Nightsky Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Sounds like you did good she got your number right? You should have asked her out on a date and got her number. I mean now she pretty much has to call you and ask you out. Or when she calls you ask her out, but it would have been better in person. Though you did really good, and if you like her seems like you two might be dating soon. Good luck. A lot of guys would have clammed up and not even got into her line, or made the comment about "I need help with my spanish."

Well I was going to ask her out and the Spanish comment was supposed to set up for that but once I made that remark the notebook came out real fast and her telling me to put my # down and blindsided me. I mean I was trying to make a move in public and all but I didn't want to seem imposing since I'm still a customer and I wasn't sure it was right thing to do. LOL and I do need help with my Spanish. I'm in a professional school and my adviser did recently have a conversation with me and recommended I improve my Spanish for future career opportunities since I already knew some from living in Latin American for a few months. Question: Did I misread the first encounter? Maybe that's what Mexicans do to all their customers who are exotic to them?
