A few days ago I went to the mall just to walk around. The last thing I was thinking about was meeting a woman. However, some very attractive woman stopped me in the middle of the Mall to have me try some Aromatherpy products. At first, I just thought it was what it was. Somebody doing their job. However, after a few minutes, I started to notice that this girl was being rather flirty with me. Moreso than i've experienced in similar situations in the past. At one point she told me she liked me. She also went on to say she was surprised that I did not have a girlfriend. At this point, I was shocked and rather flattered by what was happening. So anyways, we wound up exchanging phone numbers with each other, but there is a catch. She and her roommate (who is a gay guy who was also working there with her) just moved to the area. They don't have a phone line yet, but she did give me a phone number that I could eventually (hopefully) reach her at. She also said that she would just call me when she got her phone line going since neither of them were sure about things to begin with. I was so flattered and overwhelmed that this had actually happened that I didn't think to make a different arrangement (ie meet her after work). I pretty much took it for what it was. It has been two days and I have no been able to reach her and she has not called me. I can't possibly believe that somebody would be bold enough to tell me they liked me and then not contact me. I really want to believe that this was for real, but I do realize that she might have done all this to get a sale. What do you guys think? Should I forget about this woman or should I give it a chance?

Surprisingly, a lot of those kiosk workers are somewhat migrant. I would dismiss it as a sales tactic for now but if she does call give it a shot. Couldn't hurt!

Yeah, the whole thing sounds "iffy" to me. The idea of "I want you to call me, so I'm going to give you a number that doesn't actually work yet" sounds an awful lot like she wasn't sincere. She doesn't have a cell phone? And the "she told me that she liked me" at the first meeting bit? Sounds more like salesmanship than sincerity, to me.


The only thing you can do here is take her at her word. She said she'd call you when the phone was hooked up. If she does, go for it.


But I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd have to agree with dtg_diz and Glider here. Sounds like a sales tactic to me. Glider's point about no cell is particularly big. I can't imagine anyone these days without some sort of number or an e-mail address. Hopefully you didn't buy any aroma therapy stuff.

Ok, good. It sounds to me like i'm NOT crazy afterall. Man, I was really excited about it at first. Once I calmed down and started to think about it I realized that it might not be what I thought it was. Wow, that is a really underhanded way to do business. I also agree that it is VERY strange for somebody to not have a cell phone in this day and age. The whole thing just took me by surprise. I'm not really going to worry about it too much then. Thanks for your advice!
