Hey it's been a minute guys, what sup?
So I've started approaching at work again and I think today I may have had a shot but I fucked up. I've been doing it a lot and I've had a sticking point where I haven't been able to get dates or numbers so I've been analyzing what I've been doing, if you guys see anything let me know.
So the day starts off with me an hour late to work, with four or five hours of sleep. (my fault didn't know what time I was in). Anyway didn't feel like helping customers but I kept myself positive in a friendly mood etc. Around like maybe 2 or 3 hours after I get there I'm walkin the wood and notice my boys helping this chic put together an ottoman and I think damn she's cute. I dot approach then I keep walking and I do something else like help everyone else around. I pull out some gum and I'm walking and my boy calls me over an asks for a piece I give him one ( They are like a couple of inches from me on the opposite side of the wood so I didn't care bout walking over) . Me and the chick lock eyes and give each other a smile pretty good eye contact ad a pretty good smile from her it lasted pretty long I'd say. So then I'm off an I head to the register to help someone else out.
They call for a carryout and I figure its her and I don't mind carrying stuff, makes me feel that masculine energy ya know. Anyway chatting a bit and I put it in her car and she asks if there's someone that can put together a lamp for her because she's havin a lot of trouble( No sills at all with this shit and it seems like she knows how to get her way, one of my boys that was helping her earlier sad she was a bitch... I didn't really get that from her). She mentioned money which I didn't reply to(cant take tips) I said yea lemme check with the manager to see if I can do it ( I love building shit and I wanted to buy this same lamp eventually so win win, no dealing with customers and get to do something I love).
I check with him he says its cool we get into a bit of a battle cause she wants to leave it in the store and pick it up tomorrow. I say no we can't do that etc. I felt like I was dominant in the situation she understood and stood a sec while I pulled the shit out and started. Then she walked away, maybe 10 mins or so go by and I'm still building the lamp. She comes back and is just standing there so I ask her if she has somewhere she needs to be. She fumbles over her words and managers to nervously blurt out something about paying for parking. I tell her it'll be about 20 minutes and to just leave he lot and comeback ( parking will reset). She end up taking my advice and comes back around when I'm nearing the finish. Don't remember how it started but convo got going and I mentioned she's doing me a favor because I wanted this exact lamp and wanted to see if I could put it together. We begin talking I dive and find out she's in school for English, and is teaching, doesn't know her exact calling but would teach as a professor. I go into reading and she hooks. There's been good eye contact and good positioning and then here's the kicker. I ask about what she's reading now and she begins talking about a roman dude who was advisor to the emperors and about roman sex parties. I'm just like oh, hmm cool while getting a rager as she stares into my eyes.
(I feel like after that is where I dropped the ball the first time, I also got her name sometime along the dive) I tease a bit about how she's just basically reading old gossip we share a few laughs and she complies when it comes to handing me stuff for the lamp. I say something like you know you don't look like the type to read about roman sex parties but I guess appearances can be fooling. (Something along that and I wanna say she reacted a bit negatively, maybe I said the wrong thing and came off badly o weirdly or creepy?)
Anyway we finish and we walk out to the car and I help her load it up her cars right outside the door, she slides me a 20 which I wasn't expecting and she says to put it towards the lamp. I move maybe like a few inches away towards the store and I begin to berate myself for being a pussy. I say I know this sounds cliché but your cute are you single? and she says no sorry, and she seems it but is still standing there giving me full attention. (Maybe I shouldn't of brought it up, I feel like I do that when I run out of things to say and I basically fuck myself over, it's a bad habit I've gotten into, I also think maybe my face was a bit too serious or maybe my tone. I'm trying to figure out where I'm fucking up). I say its cool Smile, shrug my shoulders and go back in the store. Also while saying this my body was pointing away from her completely only my head was in her direction
I realized I didn't ask her on a date and after looking back at previous encounters I haven't been asking for the dates, whereas before I would. I also never really asked if they were single and now I am which has become a little bad habit. Also I think I become a bit more serious towards the close, previously I was a bit more smiley. Maybe I've a bit too aloof? not enough sexual body language? Let me know if anything sticks out id be grateful for any insight.
