| This is the best outcome I could possibly have for a first time out...
I decided to hit up the mall to try some material on some lucky subjects just to overcome some AA. The first store I walked into was a mens business dress store. A salesman there asked me if I was looking for a buddy of mine and I simply said, "No, I'm just trying to keep myself entertained." This must have caught the attention of one of the female employees of the store. She came over and asked me how I knew this friend. I simply said that I've known him for years, etc. etc. She looked extremely bored so I rolled with that. "Do you always look that excited to talk to random customers?" She smiled and explained that it's been a rather boring night and that she'd rather be anywhere else than at work at that moment. So I said, "Well then, why don't we do something to spice your night up a little bit. How about a challenge?" Instantly her face caught some color. I knew that this was an IOI. She listened to me explain the challenge.
"I'll piece together an outfit, and you piece together one. I'll try them both on and ask the other employee here which they think is better."
She asked what the terms of this challenge was.
"If I win, we'll go for a walk to the coffee shop and grab a coffee on your break, but if you win, I'll buy your outfit."
This actually was risky, but I was willing to buy clothes in the first place, otherwise why would I come to the mall. Haha. So the two of us are walking around the store, picking out pants, shirts, ties, you name it. Then came the try-on. And guess what? I win. *possibly because I used to work in a mens' clothing store and have some fashion sense* haha.
So we're going for our coffee walk and I say to her. "You know, that was really unfair. I could tell a lot about your personality right away and I knew that you'd pick out clothes like that."
"How'd you know about me? You just met me!"
"Actually, I haven't met you yet"
"I'm Rachel"
"I'm JaeEm"
"So tell me what you know of me"
"How about we do this... " *This is where I began the Cube routine*
Once she calmed herself down as to how close I was with this, I explained that I had to get back to shopping, after all that's why I came to the mall.
Me: "Maybe we can continue this conversation on another night?"
Rachel: "Yeah, I work every wednesday, but if you want to get together this weekend, here's my number."
CHECK MATE.
Not bad for a first time, hey?
Any variation ideas? Or similiar stories?
