I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!
that's a funny story
I think you've got a definite case of the hots for her
go back tomorrow, see her again and pay for the jeans
prove to her that you're an honest guy
get the name and number of your future wife
ande
Funny Story!...Ha Ha.....I think you should go back though.....She will probably think it's funny anyway....just tell her that you were so absorbed with the interesting conversation you had with her that you totally spaced out on paying for the jeans....that way she will be flattered that her impact on you caused you to forget to pay.....It will also give you an excuse to go back and talk to her some more....it's a win win situation the way I see it.......Or ask one of the females here (like Seagurl, fishgrrl, or Swimmy for example) what they think is the best thing to do.....I'm betting that they would agree with me though......females are so easy to predict you know (j/k of course!!)......Remember, I am a total geek ...so maybe I'm not the one to be giving advice in this particular situation!

Yeah, I am getting more and more excited to go back there.Gosh, the more I think a bout it, the more I think that I was destined to forget to pay for the clothes, since now I have such a great excuse to go back.I can't do it today(working all day and then swimming - that is still a priority, haha), but I will surely do it tomorrow and then I will go back there on Saturday and ask the girl out.I hope she liked me, well, she told me when she works, asked me where I live and let me know that I can just ask for her if I cannot seem to find her when I am in a store next time...Think I have a chance?We'll see:-)
P.S. I finally liked someone, I am a picky guy, ya know :-)
Great advice, all you guys!That is what I am going to do.The problem is she works Saturday there next(she is part-time), but that's all right, I am sure they will take my money, lol.
I have never been more excited in my life to pay for something , haha...
One time I walked out of a store wearing what I was trying on because I started ot talk to the sales clerk and forgot what I was doing. After about ten minutes two huge security guards came up to me. Tackled me to the floor & dragged me to their office. When everhting was figured out, I paid for the nerchadise & left. I never went back to that place ever again.
Once at a mall in topeka when I was in high school, my mom , her friend, my sisters & I were at the Sears. I saw a women put clothes in her shirt. I told a clerk & I got a $25.00 gift certificate for sears. that was in the latre 1970's.
When I started reading this thread, I thought for sure we'd find out that she was also a masters swimmer. Anyway, what a great story! I'd venture to say that she was probably just as smitten with you if she didn't ask "aren't you going to pay for those jeans?" Perhaps she was so focused on you that she also forgot! Ok, so maybe she wasn't working at the register, but may these words further encourage you to go back to the store and ask her out (and of course pay for the jeans). Good luck!
