>>>Sure sounds that way to me, Ker! Here's how I see it. Anybody working in a retail environment has to deal with the routine of their job, and a break in that routine is always welcome (unless the salesperson themselves thrive on boredom). A girl (or for that matter a guy) working in dancewear sales spends most of their workday dealing with girls and women. A guy walks in and POW! Instant break in the routine. If the girls hetero (or the guy gay) and the customer's reasonably attractive, that gives the experience a little spice, and if the guy becomes a regular and the two of them get along, (as it seems to be in your case,) well, you're in dancewear-retail Valhalla, aren't you? Congrats!>>>Also, my experience has always seemed to be that older women working dancewear retail (or ladies' hosiery) are more likely to be chilly to us tights-guys, while younger ones tend to be a little more open about it (though exceptions on both sides definitely exist.) All of my best tights-buying experiences have been with salesgirls in their twenties or younger. >>>So good luck with your retail buddy, Kerry! Hope something develops (if that's what the two of you want, that is!) And if it doesn't, at least you've got someone cool to buy dancewear from! -Depon [/i]
