At the Mall between classes.

Boarder’s Books.

I had an hour and a half between classes and I was thinking about buying a fedora or something. I drove to the mall. I was walking towards Stage I noticed my path was converging with a black woman’s who was walking towards the same store from another direction. I waited till we were walking side by side and asked if she knew where I could find a fedora. I could tell from her expression she either didn’t know what one was or was maybe trying to think of what it was. So I described it as a dress hat. Her face lit up and she told me to try Dillard’s. I thanked her and went the other way.

Reason that first exchange is important? Six to eight months ago I wouldn’t have asked anyone.

I found a fedora at Dillard’s that I really didn’t like, looked around for a while and negged a sales lady for sitting down all casual on one of the displays. Then I had her help me look through some hats. We couldn’t find one that either of us really liked. I never used to even talk to sales people. I’ve always tried to avoid them. It’s odd if I don’t think about my frame before walking into a place I avoid these people like the plague. Why? There’s nothing wrong with them and they’re just doing their job. They’re there to help people. The frame I usually have walking into a store is “avoid the people trying to sale you stuff you don’t want” while it should be “talk to people everywhere and appreciate good service.”

I left Dillard’s without a hat and walked into Boarder’s. I guess I have a thing about bookstores. I was walking slow and someone passed me in a white shirt and blue jeans with a ponytail. Her body shape and the way she moved I knew it was a girl. But I only saw her from behind. She walked right over to the Manga section which is on the wall. I walked over one aisle so that I’d be on her other side. Went up to the wall, pulled a random book and without looking at her first I opened.

Me: How do you get used to reading books backwards?
This is the second time I’ve used this as an opener. Both times it has worked really well. But obviously it’s only good for girls who read Manga. “Normal” people wouldn’t get it. I looked up as I said the last word. She was older then I thought she was and not very pretty. If I had looked before I opened I might not have opened at all.

I start to talk to her though and I find she is actually pretty interesting. She is an English major like I am so I start to talk about different books and writers and she actually understood what I was saying. The conversation lasted about thirty minutes before I had to end it. The whole time we were talking I was debating in my mind about what I wanted to do with this. She wasn’t pretty but she wasn’t really ugly. She was kind of plain looking. She had a tongue ring though which I could see as she talked and I found that interesting. Her body was thin and she looked in good shape. I kept thinking that’s a fuckable body but her face just wasn’t doing anything for me. Butterface girl, you know.

I was trying to decide if I wanted to number close her. I had about decided that I was going to, not because I wanted to but just to see if I could. I looked at the time I saw that it was five minutes before class and I was going to be late. I said I had to go, that I was going to be late and started walking off. She said bye and that it was nice meeting me, it was kind of an excited “bye” like she really wanted me to stay and talk some more.

So I didn’t get her number even though I’m sure that I could have. On the one hand I don’t really feel like I missed out on anything because I really wasn’t that interested. On the other though I think it doesn’t matter if I’m not that into her I should number close anyway just for the practice. I just now started thinking, you know I’ve never had a BJ from a girl with a tongue ring… maybe I should have number closed. It did look like she had a tight little body. I could have had some fun with that even if I wasn’t totally into her.

Oh well. Next time I probably will.

Run! Sore lips are not interesting.
