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!!!

Thanks for the advice, Kari!You know, I just look at the whole dating thing the following way: it is not just us, guys, who want to ask a girl out, it is also girls who keep their eyes open and are in search for a decent guy.We both want to be involved with a nice person, so obviously a girl almost HAS to go out at least once to check the guy out(unless of course she gets a negative impression riht away).So it is like a trial and error thing - you'll keep getting stumbled over the wrong people until you find that one you really like and have much in common with...So I will just keep trying, something is telling me that girl cannot say no to me, haha, kinda cocky, huh?No, I would rather word it as confident.So, we'll see...I just need to get lucky and finally see her when I go there again...
I will keep you posted :-)))
P.S. Kari, dumping a guy for his socks????Wow, that is kinda picky.What was wrong with them?
Hooked On
I had to fight them off. The girls walked me home from the pool nearly three miles. Then they had to go nearly 3 miles to get back to where they lived. Pun.... After all I was handsome and they were very interested. After I met my wife Chuckie (Mary) when I was 23 I never had to worry about the girls anymore. It was love at first sight.

Hey guys!!!! I was trying to be encouraging!! :)
What I meant by "frightening" was kind of like...you know.....serial killer scary or somthing. Average is UNDER RATED!! Most folks are average - guys and gals.
As far as my comments about really handsome men...it was my experience in the good 'ole land of Hollywood that some guys who were really good looking and knew it just lacked in personality. In sum, I would much rather go out with a guy who was "Joe average" and had a great sense of humor than a guy who looked like a GQ model but couldn't even carry on a conversation, unless it was about himself. Just my bad luck....but again, there are exceptions to every rule in the book, and even though I neve met 'em, I KNOW there are drop dead gorgeous guys out there (girls too!) who are kind, loving and not into the mirror, so to speak. It just so happens that in L.A., a lot of guys fall into the "me, me, me" trap, just like a lot of women do.
Oh yeah....as far as the socks go...there's more to the story, but I won't bore you with the sordid details. I am a way low maintenance kinda gal; not really that picky - but just like everyone else, I have my own set of deal breakers! :p
So date on, people! Guys and gals; it's all a numbers game but hey - as swimmers, we already get to see each other half naked! How's that for meeting the opposite sex??
Ciao!!
speaking of bar situations here's a funny song brad paisley did a few years ago
Darlin' I've been standin' here just watchin' you all night
And I think I've even caught you watchin' me a couple times
If I don't ask I'll never know
This may sound dumb, but here we go
Do you believe in love at first sight
Me neither
I'm glad that we agree
Believe me
That's a big relief
Well, this place is awful crowded
And this music is so loud
Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat
Me neither
It's nice to finally meet a girl who doesn't move too fast
I was only checkin', that's the reason that I asked
Relationships need time to grow
You and I should take this slow
And darlin' tell me, would you like to dance
Me neither
I was just bein' polite
Thank goodness
My feet are much too tired
I'm sure you're tired too
I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while
Me neither
We'd never get along
I'm thinkin' there's no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I'm runnin' outta lines
Don't you think it's time for me to end this song
Me neither
One law about relationships is:
"In a relationship who ever is the most needy is the least attractive"

I'm a fairly independent and self-confident girl. I'm not a "bar" girl. I don't giggle and bat my eyes. I don't dress like a total skank. I'm the girl at the bar actually watching the game more so than to pick up guys. In other words ... I am who I am, good and bad and it's going to take a strong, self-confident, and independent guy to make me happy. I've dated the jealous and co-dependent type and it never lasts - drives me crazy actually. I need my space and my time to my own thing.
Maybe this board should start a match maker service ... lol ... at meets they'll have single person heats rather than by age group we will seed by marital status!
I like this trading of advice stuff though.
thank you
they're pretty funny and fitting for today's chat

Ande, those lyrics are awesome!
Haha ... I just meant in terms of the giggly little sorrority girl bar girl. (and before anyone attacks that I was a sorrority chick). I'm not the giggly little girl batting my eyes and acting stupid. But I'm a flyer, so of course I drink. :D
