You know us Borders types...we're quite the party hounds! In the spirit of my birthday and the season, I'll give the gift of a funny story and a question. Yesterday (12/2, at this point), I had a girl come into my store, and, to my own amazement, she struck up a conversation with me out of nowhere. I've never had a girl pursue me before, always the other way around. And yet, she spent 15 minutes talking to me. No fewer than 4 employees intimated to me that she was definitely interested and that I should go for it. And then she says "Got any recommendations for my boyfriend?" Aren't there laws against that kind of thing? It was like that episode of the Simpsons where Bart freezeframes the moment Lisa tears Ralph's heart in half over a valentine. "Look Lisa, if I slow-mo it, you can almost tell the exact moment when Ralph's heart rips in half!" I'm actually really amused by it, considering. Any ideas why someone would do that? I'm looking for theories.

Happy birthday. Maybe she was "testing" you in conversation to see if you were similar to her boyfriend, in the hope that you would be and would share some of his tastes. After that, she could ask you for recommendations that her boyfriend would enjoy.

Women love to see men squirm. They get off on torturing us and teasing us. And if you have the skills to do it to them, it's actually insanely fun Have a good one Doom

Maybe she has self esteem issues and needs to knock men down a peg to boost her ego and she's chosen a very time consuming tease method to do so.
Or she's just clueless that she was leading you on.

Thanks guys, 'preciate it. And yeah, I'm about as clueless still. It certainly was a roundabout method to see what my recommendations for her boyfriend would be, especially since she had to leave before I could even give her any. And if it was an ego boost at my expense...well, she certainly picked the wrong target in an attempt to knock men down a peg. Nobody knocks Doom down a peg. Nobody. Not even you Lost. And let me just say...best birthday dinner ever--Pulled pork BBQ sandwich...a heart attack on a roll but soooo good. I dare your mouths not to collectively water now.
