You have to swing to hit...
Yesterday evening I was at one of my local warehouse clubs buying some food. I really didn't want to (as all stores are packed right now with Christmas shoppers) but I really needed to so I went for the bare essentials that I needed.
The registers are packed but I know that if you don't have a lot of stuff, the person in the tobacco register will let you pay there. Unfortunately, it seems like more people have been privy to this little secret so there's a line. I go stand towards the end. Earlier I had noticed this cute little thing from behind (and from a distance), but I lost her in the crowd. Turns out cutie ends up behind me in this line trying to pay for a single item.
Unfortunately, although she was the petite and slim type that I like, once I had her up-close I realized she was old! Maybe in her late 30s and it showed. My IL dropped but, like I say: "Always practice and always talk with women!" Plus I figure she could be a nice ONS or FB. So I open her with a funny about the main registers being worse. She smiles and replies in Spanish, the other language around these parts. Me, being fully bilingual continue the conversation in Spanish. Unfortunately, when I name-closed her, she didn't ask me for my name so at that point I knew she had low IL. I kept the remaining conversation polite and subsequently bailed.
Things to be learned:
Sorry sweetheart, I only ask once! Plus I was more interested in the conversation I was having with this older gentleman...

Things to be learned:
- Always close and always talk with women. Yes, I keep mentioning this. It's extremely important. In this case, even though I closed, she was not interested. But this doesn't matter. "You have to swing to hit." Plus you get to practice your materials and test your wit.
