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!!!
Yes--the way I see it, if 50 is the new 40, then 40 must be the new 30.
I'm sure Gull is right about this.
Thank god for inane threads! I was exhausted thinking about fins and endurance and finishes and breaststroke.
I agree that women are trouble. So are men.
my new policy is not to participate in a thread dug up from the ancient past.
so consider this a no-post!
Stick in the mud. And I though you had lightened up. I knew men were trouble. Particularly TI men.
Why diss threads from the "ancient fast?" A lot of us are new here, so we might want to read them. I don't understand your "new policy," but it's fine by me. It's not a one size fits all place. I was wondering what happened. I'm hoping he got the girl.
I'm betting the popular women fish usually don't like this approach though ...
P.S. Swimming is good for women. Keeps them out of trouble.
Whatever happened? Did the guy get the girl? Man, he got us all interested and cheering him on and then didn't let us know what happened! Dima, where are you? UPDATE please!
PS Forty ...where do you find this stuff. Of course women are trouble...and they know it...it's like that moth to the flame thing...or should that analogy be "buttlerflier to the shoulder doc?"
Rich: Did you notice that the poster was praised for his sexy accent by LBJ?
He went back to the store. He asked her out. She accepted. We never heard from him again.
This is llke an episode of Cold Case.
Well that's good to know. I wonder if they are still dating!

Well, we have a Hot Case.
Dorianblade: How's that dating going? I'm not sure we heard the final word on gym girl or whoever else had caught your interest. And what about all the new people on the forum?
Gull: How did you know this? Is there another thread I missed? Are they still dating?
Here's a good tip for the men: Don't be condescending or preachy. Women don't like it.
I notice Ande had some pretty good tips on a preceding page of this thread.
"All you need is love....."
I'm not dating anyone ;) :D :rofl:
Well, now all the women on the forum are no doubt bummed out by your 600th post. Nonetheless, flirting will continue, as Kathy has shown.
At least, if Mrs. Richjb is trolling the forums some night, she won't feel threatened. :rofl: ;) But you're so good with the ladies, I think you could add some tips to Ande's list. Do you think he can do 166 tips on this topic? I already gave my tip #1.

Can't date, but can always flirt :agree:

Natch. :D You know what they say, "the day you stop looking is the day you die."
Peter:
That is a fabulous story. And I was just mentioning in another thread that two of my friends on my own team met at a masters meet and got married (breaststroker-backstroker though). What if she had been a smokin' fast flyer with auburn hair? Would that have killed the deal? Moral of the story: women that are trouble are always more fun.
It must be easier planning vacations when the spouse is also an avid meet swimmer.
