There is this beautiful woman at my local Walmart who recognises me; she always smiles and waves at me. She usually works at the service desk and, from across the room, said, “How are you doing?” Now I’m aware retail workers are nice to customers because they have to be, but I still decided to shoot my shot. While no one was at the service area, she said, “Do you need help with something?” I was nervous and asked her name. She told me. I asked her how her Christmas was, and she said, “Good.” It was clear she didn’t want to have a conversation, so I just said, “I just wanted to say hi,” and left.
I’m aware of body language, and I take rejection well, so I just left.
But yeah, I’ve never asked out or dated a retail worker. I’m aware that just because someone is friendly with you doesn’t mean they like you, but I still wanted to shoot my shot.
Note to self: never ask out or date a retail worker.
ahhhh youre just a terrible human successfully identifying yourself. makes sense now.
*You’re
Also, how does this make me a “terrible human”? Because I don’t go out of my way to be friendly, that makes me “terrible”.
You said you don’t talk to people you’re not attracted to. That’s different from “not going out of my way to be friendly”. Non-terrible people don’t decide whether to talk to someone solely based on attraction.
Yeah cause what’s the point? What do I get out of it?
" Non-terrible people don’t decide whether to talk to someone solely based on attraction."
The person I was responding to said, “You aren’t mature enough to ask a retail worker out,” which is weird, creepy and kind of predatory considering they don’t know me and have never met me…
But sure, I’m the “terrible person”.
Non-terrible people don’t think about what they “get out of it”.
Also, I think we all have had at least a glimpse into your personality since you so freely bare your soul while you’re in the shower.
Well, going by the slice of your brain that you choose to post on the internet, yes. You are a terrible person.
