> I had some Christmas shopping to do, so I called my Ex-fiance and went
> out shopping. Decided to head to the mall and starting opening like
> crazy. Second gal I saw actually tried to "open" my Ex... to sel her some
> nail treatment stuff. My Ex doesn't care about her nails, but I do. I
> take pretty decent care of my nails, so I figured, what the heck,
> starting talking the the saleslady. HB8. Very nice gal, a bit heavy on
> the eye makeup... sort of a Goth in training kind of thing I think. Had
> some nice fur boots on too. So, I was fluffing her a bit and she was
> giving me a few IOIs, but it seemed more because she was hot to make a
> sale.
>
> Meanwhile, my Ex is getting more pissed byt the second. Pouted and took
> off for about ten steps,stopped, came back, and just started watching. I
> kepted fluffing the gal and tossed some kino at her. She's selling some
> sort of nail treatment thing for $60, but for me, it's only $30. Sure,
> just for me. But, she's holding my hand and showing me on one nail what
> this deal thing does for polishing a nail and making it smooth and shiny.
> Got to admit, too, damn good. Made my nail look like I had a manicure.
> So, I kino and flirt a bit... and she says, really quietly... she'll let
> me have it for $20.
>
> She's also trying to neg me by telling me I'm cheap and trying to get me
> to buy two sets. One for $30 and the other for $15. So I figure around
> $20 really is her cutoff. She tells me I should buy one for my mom. I
> told her I already got my mom's stuff. So, she calls me cheap again and
> says I shoudl get one for a girlfriend. I tell her if I get one for one,
> I'd have to buy a set for all of my girlfriends or they'd be jealous.
> That's why I'm cheap, I don't buy stuff for them, they buy for me. Heck,
> I even have Ex's buying for me, and motion towards my ex! She gets a
> gleam. So I ask her how she'd feel if her boyfriend got somethign for
> another gal and not her. No BF. But, she had one and he'd never do that.
> I wink at her and said, that you know of... She smirked. Nailed.
>
> Okay... now... question... If a hired gun is selling something, most
> likely on a commission... and she cuts the price. To what's probably
> lower than her commission... is that a real IOI? Or a sales tactic? I
> wasn't sure, but I also wasn't biting. So I got her name and the name of
> another gal there I started to fluff a bit to rile the first up. The
> second gal is also an 8. And I find out both are from Israel. And not
> related at all. The first gal actually seemed to be a bit defensive about
> me talking to #2. And again... not sure... is it because of the fact that
> she's trying to sell me? Or more? So, no sale, we take off. But my ex, in
> front of the other gals, made me a bet that if I could remeber the names
> of the gals... she'd buy the nail kit for me.
>
> Throughout the mall, I'm flirting and sarging other gals, but not real
> seriously. Just fooling around and getting practice... if something
> happens, good, if not, that's cool too. We eventually head back towards
> where the cart is. Flirt with a third gal I didn't see before. I now
> understand why it's called the Promised Land! Damn. Also from Israel and
> also HB8. And none are related. (they didn't even look alike, different
> hair color, faces, etc) So, I flirt her a bit and raze her for not
> talking to be before. But, she didn't seem nearly as interested as the
> other two.
>
> So, I still remember #1's name and I'm close on #2. My ex agrees to go
> ahead and buy me a nail kit, which I'm okay with, cause, honestly... damn
> good job on my nails. I figure I'll be able to keep my nails looking a
> lot nicer with this deal. So, #2 is going to ring me out, cause #1 is
> still stuck on a sales pitch. #2 says $30. I say "No... it's supposed to
> be $20. #2 gives #1 a look that I swear could have cut through diamond.
> So... I figure I'm right... $20 is a no-no. So, #1 hops over from her
> sale to ring me out. So, I fluff up #1 a bit more and she goes back to
> razing me about being cheap. I just mention again that I can't be
> spending money on all my gals.
>
> Then she tells me that this is the only time she'll let me have it for
> $20. Next time it'll be $60. I told her, Nah, you'll sell it to me for
> $30. You know you will cause you love me. She gets a puppydog look and
> says I'm not coming back. I told her, Trust me, I'll be back. Soon as I
> run out of stuff! She says... no you won't. So, I figure close time. I
> told her to give me her e-mail or number and I'd let her know when I'd be
> back. No dice. I figured I'm iced out. But I ask one more time, razing
> her about it, since she said... no, you're not coming back, like she's
> really sad about it. Still couldn't get he close. DAMN! (and I think I
> will head back!)
>
> Leaving though... weird thing. My ex looks at me and tells me... "You
> just about had her." I didn't think so. So... any ideas what, if
> anything, I screwed up in trying to get the close. The only time I saw
> her go negative was when I asked for her contact. That's when I would
> have figured she'd least likely go negative state. Otherwise, my ex was
> right... she was all over for me.
