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!!!

Great story. Definately go back to talk to her and definately go back to pay for the jeans.
Maybe you can start a thread to compete with Ande's - Meeting Women Faster Faster!:confused:
Seriously though, do come back and let us know how it went.
I agree with Ande....at least go back and pay for the jeans.
That poor girl's probably sitting back there thinking "That guy chatted me up just so he could walk out of here with those jeans! MEN ARE TROUBLE!"
So take heart, darlin', she's probably thinking the same thing you are. Who knows? When you get married, you'll get a huge laugh out of it, and you can say she stole your heart, and she can say you stole her jeans. (well, not hers, but you get the point).
Great story, even if you don't find it as funny.

I'd go back to the store as soon as possible and pay for them, in case she works for some cad of a retailer who may accuse her of stealing or something. Then, go back the next time she's at work and apologize profusely nad insist on buying her dinner to make up for any trouble you may have caused. Then take her someplace nice.
And don't forget to pay the bill.........
Kae, who wishes she could meet some handsome single guy at the mall. Though, I guess that would involve going to the mall.
I doubt her till came up short that day. It would have been short had she rung up the purchase but then you did not pay.
But from my read of the story, there wasn't a cash register transaction at all. The only way the store would know it is if they did a full inventory of the store both before and after her shift.
Therefore, you could probably wait until you know she's actually working there to make things right. It seems to me that would give you the best shot of making a positive impression on her.
It's Friday night! Are you getting nervous? I am!
What time are you going tomorrow?
Be sure to wear an outfit she suggested, shower and use soap :p
Good luck :)
No kidding! I was so looking forward to the end (possibly the actual BEGINNING) of this story!
Then again, four hours is possibly a good sign. After the actual apologizing and paying for the clothes, they could have hit it off, and dinner ensued (I won't elaborate further than that, tee-hee)
One can only hope for a positive ending to this delightful saga. Now if only there were video feed. *sigh*
