shelbyz Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) This is my first post. Just a little background: I'm a 26 year old male and I'm about 4/5 weeks out of a very nasty break up from a two year relationship. Earlier this week I decided to completely pull the plug on any contact with my ex and have eliminated any way that she could possibly contact me. Anywho... Yesterday, I went to the mall with a buddy to help him pick out some jewelry for his G/F's birthday. We stopped in a jewelry store (where I used to buy jewelry for my ex...) and a very attractive young lady behind the counter came to help us. She immediately said that she recognized me from having been there before, and then complimented me on how I smelled and asked me if anyone has ever told me that I look like Ryan Gosling. I laughed and said no, but thanked her for the compliment. I was actually extremely flattered... In the process of my buddy deciding what to get, her and I engaged in some small talk here and there and shared some laughs. I made a joke about guys being intimidated about her working at a jewelry store and blah blah. She also knew I was I single, because I joked around with my buddy about not having to do what he was doing anymore. When my buddy was done with the transaction, I told her to have a good night and we were off. My buddy was giving me crap for not getting her number. With me being out of the game for so long, I didn't even think of it... We walked by again from a distance but they were busy closing the store. Does it sound like she was interested based on our interaction? My friend seemed to think so, but I really don't consider him an expert on these things... I'm really not looking for a relationship right now, but it would certainly help me to get out and meet people. My ex made it nearly impossible for me to go out with my friends, but when she decided that she was interested in a friend of a group of friends of mine, she dropped me and now all of my friends want to hang out with her instead. So, it would be nice to meet some new people, regardless if it's for love or friendship. Would it be worthwhile for me to go back to explore further? I need to get my Mom a gift, so it would give me an excuse to go back... Or did I blow my chance? What do you guys think? Edited June 13, 2013 by shelbyz
happykat Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I think why not? Of course you didn't blow your chance..just go back to the store and ask her out, sounds like she's interested .
Cutiepie1976 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Hard to say. Her job is to be friendly, welcoming, and make pleasant small talk so that you both buy stuff. He bought something. Now you're going back for a gift. Only way to know for certain will be to ask her out.
CC12 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I need to get my Mom a gift, so it would give me an excuse to go back... That's funny, while I was reading your post, I was thinking you should make an excuse to go back, like you needed to get your mom or sister a gift. But there you go, you actually do need to get your mom a gift. Perfect. Go there, and if she's not working, then say you're just browsing and that you need to think on it before you buy. Keep doing this until she's actually the one who helps you, then after you've purchased your mom's gift from her, ask her for her phone number. Keep in mind that it is her job to be nice to you, so just be really unobtrusive about it and don't make it weird for her to say no.
