When I split with my 2nd wife I moved back to my home town and being a bit down I did drink a lot, one day I was out, I kept saying to myself "I will go and buy some clothes for me and tell the assistant they are for me" well to keep my courage up to do this I drank more and more, then I thought this is it let's go and do some shopping, I was swaying all over the place and went to New Look, I went straight up to the counter, where 3 young girls of 16 or 17 were, I thought shit, but no I am going through with it and asked to see the manager hoping for a more older and maybe understanding lady, they called for the assistant manager as the manager was out, a young very attractive girl of about 21 or 22 came out, I was nervous but called her over to one side and said "I am looking for some clothes and they are for me, I am a crossdresser and are you ok with helping me" believe me I was crapping myself, could'nt belive what I just said to this very attractive lady, but straight away she had no problem with me and said she would help me to choose some clothes, we picked a skirt size 12/14 a top, underwear, shoes and even a wig they were selling, all the while the 16 and 17 year olds were giggling as I was a little loud and they had heard my converstation with the assistant manager, but we carried on and I got some nice clothes and the AM said if I wanted to come in the shop and try clothes on after hours I was more than welcome and she wouold help, boy I could'nt believe this young lady was willing to help and did'nt see it as a problem, as she did remark a sale is a sale, she had never come across this before but she was doing her job, she even told someone to wait on the radio and saw to me first and sold the clothes to me herself and gave me her direct number if I wanted to get in touch about late fittings or if the clothes I had did'nt fit, well the skirt I brought was 12/14 it was bloody loose I had gone to a size 10, splitting up had caused me a weight loss, so I had to take the skirt back the next day, a Saturday, I phoned the girl met her and got a smaller one and she did it all discreetly, oh and we also talked about my private life, my split, me telling her I'm not gay, she said she did'nt think I was, and other stuff, she was a girl in a million, I did'nt go back, which I regret and did'nt even find out this lovely girl's name, well she may have done I was wrecked, I still buy clothes from New Look but have to say to my lady I want that and she get's it, I missed out on having my own private shopping and dressing session, doI feel like fool, thankyou for taking your time for a very long, long post :)

hey, you've got some bottle, lady. :eek: :cool:

I often shop but never get into a discussion with the staff. Thank god for self-selection! If an assistant comes up to me when I'm at the lingerie or swimsuit racks and asks if she can help - I'm outta there with my tail between my legs. :o When I'm at the paydesk I try to avoid eye contact at all costs.

I'm somewhat like Crispy in this regard -- I avoid sales people like the plague when I'm out shopping. But if one approaches me and asks if I need help, I simply say no, and continue with my shopping. But since I'm already there, and if I have a purchase in mind, I complete it.

What are you afraid of? The sales people are there to help the customers nothing bad I promise you that just don't act like you feel you are doing something wrong and they won't feel that way either at least 90% of the time.
