Today I went to use my gift certificate at Macy's from my Mom. I asked for it so that I could get my first real bottle of cologne. The guy working the counter was very patient. We sprayed every inch of my arms. I hated anything 'woodsy' or 'musky'. I also hated ones that smelled edible. "That has green apple in it!" "um, yeah, it sure does..."
He asked if I wanted a night scent or a day scent. I said one that I could use a bit of for the day, then add on to it for the night. Okayyyyy....
He helped another customer at one point while I was walking around spraying myself w/ different kinds. This very flamboyant homeless guy with a grill on his teeth and something coursing through his veins, grabbed a tester and sprayed all around him. "I'll take that one!" he yelled. At least HE could make a decision...
"I'd date someone who smelled like this, but..." was one of my opinions on a scent. As we ran out of room on my arms, he suggested a leg or "we could give you a shower." Mmmmm-hmmm! I'm sure...
So, eventually I settled on the one I hated the least. When he went to cash in my gift card, he's like "Oh! When's your birthday?" "January....I'm not very good at shopping..."
dating,
hate,
birthday
