    I guess I 'm left with having to go there, hah? In that case, how do I approach her? If a keep doing car-talk it would be unfair and pointless, wouldn't it? I could go ahead and ask her out or something, but I don't think I have the guts and I 'd feel to embarrassed.

    A car salesperson that didn't give her business card herself, just to make sure you get back to her in case you decide to come back and cash the sales bonus?? You know what this means??

    Or is my imagination running wild here??

    First time I read your reply (incorrectly) I thought you were implying she was intentionally ignoring me, lol. But I see what you mean. (You can elaborate, though)

    She was probably so impressed with you as well, that she completely forgot to remind you to ask for her at your next visit. I think you have provided ample evidence of that: she explained stuff about the car beyond what you've been asking, to satisfy you creative Te, I think. This suggest she probably is ENFp

    Now don't let this knowledge get to your head now!

    oh gawd these situtions have happened to all of us. Those sales people can be so damn charming and you just cant seperate them doing their job and liking you. Happens to me with See's. They get me every time.

    Anyway trust you're instincts and give it a go. The perfect advice has already been given i think.

    No problemo. Youre not the first, lol. People have thought I am a girl, or a black guy... I don't care, i just find it funny sometimes cause I have no clue where it comes from.

    I think I 'll pay her a visit, be nice and try to get things going.

    In case I fail to find the guts to guide the conversation, I could send there someone (a friend) later to tell her I appreciated her help and wanted to ask her out for a drink but I felt too embarrassed to do so. Or something like that. What do you think?

    ps. She's a little older than me, 4-6 years maybe, which makes the situation even harder for me.

    maybe this helps.

    it's always appreciated to be open and honest, and you don't make a fool out of yourself if you show your well meant motives.

    Tell her:

    "I would like to be honest to you, I liked the conversation and I think it would be nice if we could talk again sometime, if that is possible. If not then ofcourse no problem."

    Try to get her phonenumber.

    ps: in a book I read, this approach gives a 50&#37; score with any single stranger you meet.

    I don't usually give much attention to motives. Who cares about my motives anyways, not even me. Actions and results/consequences are more important to me.

    (Anyway, thanks for the tip.)

    Just go for it. If she blows you off you'll never see her again anyway.

    Go for it dude. If she's not interested it ain't the end of the world. Just means she's frigid haha

    Well guys, I went there today. She was there, but I didn't get the chance to talk to her, unfortunately. She was with a customer when I entered. She saw me but didn't react in any way. There was this stupid sales guy I came across instead and got stuck with him the whole time. I stayed there for about an hour, looking at the cars and talking to the guy, waiting to get the chance to talk to the girl, but I didn't. We made a short eye contact a couple of times. I wanted to at least say hello or something but I didn't find the right moment (and I didn't feel like waving my hand to greet her or do some ridiculous acrobation ). What I realized was that she 's (probably) the same with everyone and she was just doing her job. I mean she spent as much if not more time with her current customer as she did with me the other day... (they were still talking when I quit)

    I don't think she's interested, I don't think she even remembers me, my friend thinks she 's probably married, but I think I 'll give it another try because, I AM interested, I do remember her and I hope she's not married.

    What do you think?

    by the way, I still don't know her name, and I don't see how I could show up there again without being ready to actually buy a car.

    You should stop waiting for "the right time", you're overthinking this. Just go up to her and ask her politely what you need to know. I guess it's easier said then done neh?

    Unfortunately dolphin, guys can overanalyze the opposite sex's gestures and actions. I've found out it's no one action that indicates interest, but a group of them. And women feel the same way...um, I think.

    Who knows, their brain is like a damn rubik's cube sometimes. Although my buddy Nick Norton figured out how to solve one in 2 minutes,so he's gotta be a damn dynamo with the ladies.
