Would you be available to give this heart broken shopper some romantic interest? Looks like he believes his heart has been ripped out and displayed on the meat aisle.

That’s a negative Ghost Rider.

He’s far too old for me. I feel 27. Or younger

If you ask her again you step over the line from keen and desperate to stalker

I'm not having ago but seriously move on

I went a bit odd when relationships ended in the past , I wish someone pulled me aside and gave me a slap and told me to get a grip . Things I thought were ok , were just odd and stalkerish. I wish so someone stopped me at the time

I realised I'd left that open, couldn't be bothered to change it.

What have you got planned?

[fridaypassion]

Well I was routing for you loosescrew on that one but probably best move on. Ultimately it sounds like this young lady is a bit of a flighty type likes a bit of attention from the old boys that come into the shop but that's it. Really though the tyoe of sort that gets in at 7.00 on new years day? Is be looking more for someone that was tucked up in bed for 11.00!

Hats off to you anyway huge cahoonas I bet very few people would have had the guts to do this these days. I thought it was quite romantic anyway!

Lunch at a casual but cool place and then drinks with one.

Dinner and a gig with the other.

Being a gent may be set aside as number one has just sent me a pic of the space in her bed.

She's literally paid to smile at you and pretend she's pleased to see you, many men get confused by this, as our hero on this thread has done.

She’s in bed before 11pm on a Saturday night? Yawn.

I’m debating whether to go out or not.

She works a similar shift to me, and is bloody hot I can deal with not going out if the pay off is early nights.

Yep, and if she's not she'll usually go home.

Regardless of the time, she's sent a pic of a spare space in her bed. She's DTF. Give it her so good she forgets her own name is my suggestion.

I've seen a few guys in my local (smallish)Tesco look like they think they're 'in' when a talkative, fairly attractive and very smiley checkout girl talks to them about random stuff. I must admit I was a bit taken aback myself on my first encounter with her and was wondering whether I was getting chatted up, but I've been going there for over a year now and she's like that with everyone. Just before the New Year she was scanning my shopping through on a quiet morning and she asked me if my Haagen Dazs Strawberry Cheesecake actually tasted like real cheesecake(!). After pausing briefly to think about it I laughed and said "err.. no! Not particularly!" which she then laughed at and it sparked some mini debate on other foods with questionable 'flavour' labels, but we did finally agree after a few minutes that prawn cocktail crisps don't taste anything like a real prawn cocktail! All the while she was laughing and smiling and generally coming across rather flirty but it's just how she is and Tesco policy encourage the checkout staff to interact with the customer as well so that will be a factor too. You've just got to know the signs.

[Gretchen]

I think she wants to have your babies. It’s definitely a sign. Coincidentally ‘cheesecake’ is a word we (and some close friends) use to point out a cheeky nipple has slipped free.

Definitely a sign.

Where can I buy a pristine little 2 inch square card in a crisp white envelope?

Gretchen is such a tease.

Ode to a Checkout Girl:

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I get the feeling this guy just ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering why I get all these stares,
Cash till to the left of me,
Waste bin to the right,
Here I am,
Stuck in the Lidl with JustALooseScrew

Aay thaang yew.

There was an old letch in Morrisons
Whose obsession with a girl was worrysome
She called in the cops
He was judged in the dock
And his ring is now wider than the sun

Jesus, I'm no poet but that is fcking dreadful

I do have sympathy for the JASL. We were all rooting for him, nothing ventured nothing gained etc.

At least you won't be thinking 'what if' for the rest of your life.

However you don't want to be doing this:

JustALooseScrew said:

Anyway, I'll give it a few weeks to settle then maybe ask her again, face to face to go out for a chat. We both know where we stand now but I'd still like to talk to her and learn about how she ended up here.

Seriously. You don't want to be doing this.

That's the difference between awkward wannabe romantic and you being banned from Aldi for harassing their staff. Given that you seem to be going there twice a day, that doesn't sound like a good conclusion.
