was this smooth?

[Rÿcher]

I was at Walgreen's and I was looking for something and the only available associate was a BBW who was a beauty consultant working in the cosmetics department. I approached her, she asked me if she could help me. She didn't appear as if she was dressed as though she worked there (overdressed) and I looked at her name tag which read "beauty consultant" which I read aloud and I interjected "I can see why..."

Being a social moron, I'd like your take on it. Was it too over the top or was I as smooth as I thought I was?

Her reaction seemed to be flattered.

 

[DonIago]

Survey says?
X!!!

But hey, it doesn't matter whether _I_ thought you were smooth...

 

[Finn]

I'm getting the feeling this is one of those "you had to be there" situtations.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Oh, you sly dog, you! Very nice! This Italian approves of your flirting style!

 

[Obi Wana Jones]

About as smooth as gritty toilet paper in a cold out house . . .

If she smiled - yes
If she rolled her eyes - probably not.
So what's your next move?
Enlist the help of a female friend and take her for a consultation, saying you thought she looked so amazing/competent/hot - delete as appropriate.

 

[Maestro]

Oh cripes, the subterfuge. If she was impressed by it, then you did right. If not, oh well.

Now, if you're really interested in her, go back and chat with her a bit. This doesn't need to be cloak and daggery.

His wife might not approve of that, but who knows?

 

[Rÿcher]

well, I mean I wasn't hitting on her as a prelude to a date or anything. Just a friendly flirt/compliment/butter her bread sort of thing.

Good to keep in practice in case you have to replace you SO suddenly.

Well I say. Don't be going around trying to 'butter other womens bread'! Especially if you're not sure you're doing it right.

Don't listen to the nay-sayers, the cheeky ones get the girls.

Nothing wrong with a bit of flirting. Just, don't do that in the general nearness of your wife!

Very smooth! I don't think you're as socially inept as you think.

I heard an Aspie say once, "I learn how to understand people like other people learn how to play the piano." I thought it was an apt comparison.

 

[Trekker4747]

I'd say you came across as a weird creep. I mean, I'm sure she *never* gets hit on and she probably has *never* heard that one before.



What's a "BBW"?

 

[Rÿcher]

BBW is an acronym for Big Beautiful Woman.

Oh.

That doesn't sound pleasant.

Even if that was unintentional, I like that metaphor.

Why the hell not?
