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!!!

Relax! Just be yourself. Don't try to hard. Don't be someone you aren't. Ask questions and offer info about yourself. And compliments are always nice, but don't over do it. I love your perfume. NOT a endless barage of compliments about how beautiful, she is what a great body, great hair, smile, etc. Pick one or two things. Don't bombard with compliments it seems desperate.
Actually usually I tell people I live out of state rather than fake numbering someone ... oh, that'd be cool but I live in California, Texas, Arizona, Maine ... somewhere far away ... I'm only here for the weekend. Ignore my Illinois driver's license...
He's Just Not That Into You.....
Ladies - please read this book, especially single ones. If you're married, buy it, read it, then pass it on to your young single girlfriends. If I had read this book about 20 years ago, it would have saved me a lot of heartache!! ;)
Ande's right - good hygene, be a good listener, be a gentleman, etc. That'll getcha a lot farther with the ladies than trying to figure out the great and terrible mysteries of womanhood.
We're not that hard (but we are complicated) - but flowers go a long way...
Kudos to you Karen for buying your husband flowers!
Heather - try Ande's idea, especially if you're listed in the phone book. Say "you know, every time I give a guy my number he never calls when he says he will. My name is Heather LastName; I'm listed, so find my number and call me." Then turn around and strut on, girl!
And remember guys...the next time you're at a bar, and you ask a girl to dance and she says "no", it might be because her feet are killing her! So instead, say..."....I'd like to buy you a drink; what are you drinking...?"
If she still says no, at least ya tried.
Girls, don't be afraid to make the first move. All my friends are convinced that guys should make the first move and they end up missing out on some great opportunities.
Just some two cents from the youngen'.
p.s. Don't give away all our secrets! lol. :D
I get over things pretty quickly. He doesn't call he doesn't call. Poof! I'm over it. I might obsess for a day or two but then I figure it's his loss.
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.
it's a sincere question,
but let's keep things some what clean

EDIT: In response to Ande's last question, I think I know what a woman should do, but I don't think I can say without violating the posting policies of this board :D

Definitely. But, one question, is this your view or Mr. Moose's? :p
