Hey guys, today I went into my local Boots (department store with medicines and perfume) I needed to buy some flu capsules as I'm ill.

Basically a woman around 20 came up to me and asked if I wanted help, first I said n then said over my shoulder "actually what's the best medicine to nurse flu then" She showed me a few we had some debating going on. I had a laugh with her and she was smiling, giving IOI's.

In the end, I picked up some tablets and said to her if these don't work I'm coming back for you, she was smiling and joking with me.

I wanted to stay longer and escalate a bit but she was on duty and I had to get back to work as lunch was over.

So I plan to go there tomorrow or friday, anyone got ideas for my next move? I've got a few but some advice is good.

Thanks

She's supposed to do this. In retail customer service has to be high, to maintain customer satisfaction and guess what, to draw the customer back into the shop again.

You got played!

Despite that though, doesn't mean you shouldn't try. But ask yourself whether they are genuine IOIs and not ones she has to do. In McDonalds I had to smile at even the ugliest girl when I served them, and that deff wasn't an IOI!

Try not to keep going back unless you have genuine reasons, but best to try not to go back too many times at all - she'll either guess your game or think you're creepy to keep going back into boots.

Yay and nay, in Britain the retail industry isn't even half as competitive as american retail.

The training you get for those stores, especually if you are just 20....

To the O.P.

N close next time, you fucked up not doing it today, but you can recover!

Why are you both saying he's gone wrong.

He hasn't 'fucked up' and he did not 'get played'.

We don't even know the situation properly.

I think the original poster has some good ideas of his own which he'll probably use, I guess he just wanted a wider idea of people's strategies.

I'm like you in this sense as I work full-time and often sarge during lunch breaks. So shop workers daygame is prime.

I once had an impromptu Boots set when I was just buying condoms and the cashier checked me out for it. Buying condoms is an underrated method of pickup!

The main thing I'd suggest is that you need to make it personal asap. That's the key transition for me in these daygame shop worker sets. At some point I would give her an IOI and go somewhat direct too.

NLP & hypnosis is ideal for these sets because since their job is to talk to you, you have them already exclusively 1 v 1 with you.

Could make her give you help on choosing condoms. LOL.

DEFINATLY!!! so many cocky funny situations and lines come to mind

come back to buy condoms and "run into her", continue the conversation and escalate FAST.. as Rafiel Gamble said NLP is a good idea for that.

Close the number, speed is of the essence outside of school and uni game

Thanks for someone giving me the heads up.

She was giving IOI's, I know usual shop assistant IOI's, I'm in and out of places in my job. She was stroking her hair back, asked a few questions about me, and when I said if the tablets don't work she laughed and said well they may not work.

One of the things I was going to go back for is condoms and see what she says, then again maybe I should act. I don't think I fucked up, me fucking up would have been to completely not speak to her and make any convo.

Cheers guys

Let me clear this up.

You have not fucked up in the sense that she has rejected you and all has gone to shits.

If you've read it right she is into you, and she is likely to know and remember you because you dropped the tag that you will be back.
These are the positives, but the negatives are that because you haven't closed the number it has limited to you for now to conversation only over the counter, and you could risk being "compartmentalised" into that guy I flirt with rather than that guy I fuck.

So the sooner you get a number and are capable of conversing with her outside of her "duty"; then the easier it is for her to envisiage you as suitor.
Your objective with girls who are working is to get the conversation framed as personal ASAP, and a great way to do this would be get a number, this would be btoh symbollica and practical.

So my advice is relatively straight forward.. there is no next move outside of just going with the flow and progressing the situation, you don't really need to do anything clever just make a personal connection spend a moment or two mentioning things that each of you do outside of work, or "feelings" -nothing deep, (the sun makes me feel so happy) is the kind of feelings I'm tlaking about.

Then close the number, make it quick and convienient so there is no fumbling about for pens etc etc. If she doesn't know her number then facebook closing is another safe and fast way to do it.

Nice one Fin, I'll be going back in the next day or two. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Cheers

You have been reading way to many fairytales. He is called Puss in Boots and not Pussy in Boots...

She is what is called a hired gun. She works there so she has to be nice and smile whatever you do. You cant trust the signals you get. She has to be nice to everyone. Still if you feel that you got more than the normal SPAM sure go back and try again.

Ok guys something weird happened, I knew I was getting IOI's and not standard shop assistant ones. I wake up and before work I check my facebook, and guess what, I have a friends request from her, all she knew we my first name, we have about 5 mutual friends, so she must have searched, I can move it from here.

If she weren't interested, no way she would have added me.

See above eso... I fucking told you she was interested!

Well you know how to got chelios

Haha cheers guys. Already set up a meet with her already, didn't seen the point wasting time.

I tried to use a clever line like "wow you obviously really liked me to go home and search me up" She replied with "yeah, it isn't something I do often" So i just ignored that after, spoke generally and set up the meet.

its all in the bag if she randomly looks you up on FB !

makes me wonder about those feelings I get about some store associates I've talked to.

Just shows women really are weird. I was going to go back if she didn't look me up (which I never expected) I had nothing to lose.
