Or is that just pure sexual fantasy?
I went shopping today and I was in a lot of stores. There were good looking women in every store!!! I thought sheet if I was single this is where I would look for wimmin!
So I got to wondering if anyone on this board has ever gotten a date or hooked up sexually with someone that they met while shopping? Male or female. If not do you have a good fantasy you can share with the TM’s?
Uh oh!..here’s the missus…gotta run.
No. 
But, I’ve often thought about it. I just can’t bring myself to ask someone at a store on a date, it just seems too desperate.
Yeah, like asking people at bars out isn’t.
I ran into James, who I had just met, while I was shopping. We ended up going to his place and having sex. It was wonderful. It was January 27, 1998, and my first time. I was late for my linear algebra class.
I’ve made contact with numerous women whilst shopping, and yes sometimes it had lead to more. If handled carefully it’s a wonderful environment.
My infamous housemate adores shopping. pLt (aka Slutboy) chats spontaneously to half the women in the supermarket. You’d be amazed at the results (ask him about the Woolworths witch sometime). Not even checkout chicks are immune from the quick-tongued one.
Pardon the digression. The moral of the story is: it’s not just a Penthouse letter; it does happen. It’s all about your attitude.
so dpr, a question. How do you start a conversation. What do you do. What’s your strategy? Hmmmm? Inquiring minds want to know.
When I was single way back when, I saw a girl behind a perfume counter one day while shopping. I thought she was very good looking so I just walk right up and asked her out. To my surprise she accepted! Turned out I wasn’t her type. You know the type that wants to get in bed 15 minutes after meeting.
I like the women that work in the clothing stores too( well not all of them) I think dressed up is sexy. ( Is this just me? Am I having too much fun here?)
Well, I worked in a convienience store/donut shop/gas station, and I met my husband when he came in to pay for gas & get coffee. We went on our first date a week later, and he moved in with me the week after that.
Does that count?
Yes! Especially to Mr. Persephone! And from the looks of your picture on Shayna’s site…a very lucky Mr. Persephone
All this time I have been going to bookstore, should be going to Wallmart.
Yep. I remind him of that every day. 
[aside]psst, hey aha…have you seen the Crush List thread?[/aside]
Met a nurse once coming home on the cross-English Channel ferry. Bounced around the toilet compartment with her on the train up to London in the rush hour. It was near the buffet car - does that count ?
Holy crap London why doesn’t shit like that happen to me? And I have to say it again…I really like your user name, don’t ever change it.
Checked the list Cristi and thanks for puttin me on it!!
I have always thought that the best time to hit on a chic is when she is at work.
If you are shopping for something for your mom, and she is working there, you have an excuse to talk to her. You won’t look like a tool if you joke with her and such like that.
If she is having a good day, and if she likes you, I don’t think she should have any problem going out with and/or planning to go out with you.
I have met several of my ex-girlfriends while shopping.
Come to think of it, I have met several ex-gfs while they were shopping were I worked. Not bad.
As a matter of fact, I met my current girlfriend while she was shopping at my work.
So what you want to do is meet someone @ work. I have met tons o’ chics @ work, while they were at work and vice versa. Not all of them worked out, but all of them put out.
Gee, I just sounded like a real dick, didn’t I? What I meant was, even though we didn’t stay together, we had fun while it lasted, and things ended on good terms. That’s all.
I don’t think anyone wants to hit on me when I am at work. I am usually covered in fur, blood, saliva, urine…
maybe I need to change jobs…or go shopping more often…
Sounds kinky Michi
Trust me, it’s not.
So Michi,
You’re an Avon lady?
Well I’m hardly a pick-up expert but I can start conversation easily enough.
Well it all depends on the situation and the person. There’s no tried and true formula but a hint: most supermarkets have an unofficial direction of traffic for the carts (ie which way most people go down each aisle). Go the opposite to maximise opportunities to run into someone (either specific or general).
Usually a smile is a good start especially if you just keep going as if that’s all it is. Then when you run into them again later (which you will if you’re going the ‘wrong’ way) you can make a passing comment. Depending on the supermarket size keep going. The third time is the opportunity to expand upon something. Look at what she’s selecting from the shelf and - if appropriate - make a joke about it. Keep it clean. You’re going for light-hearted here. If not applicable go for something general like “Y’know people are going to start talking if we keep running into each other like this.”
The key to it is to seem casual and not interested in anything else happening. Don’t do or say anything that seems like a pick-up. If the conversation falters, wish them well and move on (remembering what night she came so you can return next week - familiarity is good especially when so obscure). Most importantly don’t push it. Take a longterm view. A name at the first encounter is a major victory but not even essential. She just needs to remember you for next time.
It’s all attitude. You need to seem confident (not to be it - just be perceived as it).
If you’re still stuck for an icebreaker you can always knock over one of the can displays when near her. Then laugh at yourself with the right blend of embarrasment and lack of self-consciousness. Start picking them up as you make a self-deprecating remark through a grin.
Shopping? Let’s see. Well, Im more likely to look in their cart & see what they are buying then look in their bra.
Is that sort of like reading tea leaves handy?
