She doesn't suspect that and even if she did she'd be at least KINDA flattered. Talk to her. She might be single.

I only rented Baran in hopes of proving to you that I'm sensitive and available, but then you took your smoke break, and I had to rent it from the dude in the Green Day shirt with spiked cuffs.

Renting a movie won't work

I didn't buy the Nick Cave record when I wanted to because you wearing a vintage Birthday Party t-shirt that day (where do you get these things) and I didn't want to be obvious. However, when I came back to buy the new Nick Cave record when you weren't wearing your vintage Birthday Party t-shirt, I waited until you were the one on cash and I gave you a stoic pained half-grin of the sort I'd imagine a young Nick Cave might've once given a beautifu record store clerk.

What an amusing thought, liking a girl w/out even knowing her

DAEREST RECORD STORE GURL

― Fat Anarchy on Airtube (ex machina), Monday, 21 February 2005 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Next time I'm at the grocery store at that particular girl's checkout, I'm going to slip a note all like "DO YOU LIEK ME CIRCLE ONE YES NO MAYBE" in between packets of Kool-Aid. Can you say SMOOV?

WOMEN OF ILX: If some random sketchy dude handed you a note that said "HI UR CUET PLZ CALL ME"...

Haha the boy in our video store totally loves Matt - he gives him free DVDs and changes the music whenever he comes in to something calculated to impress. Disturbing that he obviously KNOWS WHERE WE LIVE...

Conversation I overheard in cool used bookstore once:

Bloke: "Hi, I'd like to sell you this book, I wondered if you could give me a price for it? I'm looking for about £15".

Cool bookstore girl behind counter: "Sorry, I don't buy books - the owner does all that, and he's not here right now."

Bloke: "Well, if you buy it for £15 I'll take you out to dinner."

Girl: "Um ... no, sorry, I can't."

Renting/buying things she's obviously interested in isn't going to charm her as well as you'd like. Have you tried speaking to her...something other than, "Hey, I wanna buy this, because you're cute and like...OMFG, LoLcopter!!!" ? Staring, mumbling, and drooling doesn't usually do it for me.

Note to nerds from a recovering nerd: telegraphing messages via purchases (or anything else) DOESN'T WORK. Try conversation.

― Hurting (Hurting), Monday, 21 February 2005 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Having said that, I bought a Nick Drake biography a few years ago, and the checkout girl started a conversation with me about it, entirely unbidden.

― AdrianB (AdrianB), Monday, 21 February 2005 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

So you never know, depending on the girl in question, natch.

― AdrianB (AdrianB), Monday, 21 February 2005 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

The girl at the cool video store near me is a total bitch. For no reason at all, actually. Just flat-out nasty, condescending, and with terrible taste. On the other hand: she's incredibly beautiful, which makes me (daily) believe that TODAY IS THE DAY she'll say something unmean. I'm not attracted to her in any way, I just want to see her be something other than a huge bitch, and because of this I presume she thinks I'm hitting on her.

YOU'LL NEVER GO HOME WITH THE HELP. UNLESS YOU ARE THE HELP. Or ian johnson.

By "something other", you mean topless right?

i worked in a record store once. on the day after my day off someone told me a girl had come in enquiring after me, they said i had complimented her purchase (radiohead they said). I hope that it was a wind up, if it wasn't it's almost tragic. Though they were probably 14 or something...

"dear [random person i saw today], i love you."
"dear [random person i saw today], i HATE you."
"dear [random person i saw today], i know you want me soo bad."

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 21 February 2005 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

haha i've never seen that third one.

"the help"
Nice to know that all those years of college have reduced me to lower-caste freak-magnet status! Or something.
