Hello brothers,

This is a great site! I recently had an interaction with a pretty girl customer while at my retail job that I messed up and its really getting to me. Please tell me what I did wrong and what I've could've done better.

Here's how it went down:

I walked towards her and asked if I could help her find anything. She smiled big and told me that her ex had broken her cell phone and that she needed a new one. I then saw some markings on her hand and asked what the markings were. She told me they were from some festival the other day. She then told me that she was going to Egypt. I then asked her what her name was. She told me her name was "M-----a". I asked her if she lives in the area and if she shops here often. She said, "not for long" since she's leaving soon. I told her I hope to see her again. Then she smiled and said, "ok" and then she left. She was smiling during this whole exchange.

After a couple of minutes after the exchange, I went to take some product to stock it in another department aisle in which I ran into the same girl again. I smiled and playfully said, "oh I'm not following you". She smiled and playfully responded back, "oh yeah, I was thinking, I know that guy". I then said, "See you later". She then said with a disappointed hesitation, "bye".

This interaction messed with me the whole day because I really feel like I blew a chance with this girl because of my failure to escalate and get her phone number. This girl was gorgeously fit and had blonde hair/blue eyes who was american. I'm now thinking that she wanted to fuck before she left for Egypt. It's much harder to get numbers at work because I don't want to be fired due to an accusation of harassment by the wrong female customer who might be having a bad day. Can any of you advanced guys tell me what I did wrong and how to close the deal next time? This is really bugging me and its been a full day and I'm still frustrated over it. Thanks.

You didn't really do anything wrong but you could've pushed the interaction a bit to see what she would've done.

I work retail for the time being and I'm pretty hesitant to flirt with girls while on the job unless I'm 100% sure the girl is attracted to me.

You can flirt with a girl and say something a bit more risqué but still socially suave to where it could be taken as you hitting on her but also you just being genuinely cool.

If she likes you and is socially suave herself she'll play along and you then have the green light. If she doesn't then your just a cool guy that said something risqué and interesting.

However me personally I'm not too worried about meeting girls at my job I'd prefer to just wait till I'm not working and go meet girls wherever I want and then I can act/say whatever I want.

I wouldn't be overly worried about it. Go meet women when you're not at work and play around with pushing things to be a bit more risqué with hot girls that come in to your store.

Thanks for your feedback Mr. Rob.

You said the things that I was already thinking and needed to hear. I have gotten a couple of numbers from customers before at work, but it never led anywhere(to going on dates/meeting up). I guess I'll just use it for practice at work like you suggested.
