The only part that I don't like about shopping these days is when the SA makes any assumption about what you are buying something for... could be car parts even...its just none of their business. If you need a story, then use one... I think the SA should be profffessional enough to go along with what ever you tell them if they believe it or not. But, it does make it easier if you are open with them because then you are working towards a common goal.
I am my own worst enemy when it comes to buying fem clothes... first - I have yet to get someone to believe I'm buying gifts for an amazon East German "girlfriend". Mail order and on-line saves me the experience. Once in awhile, though, I'll see a pair of tights I have to have ... then I just buy them. Can't pull that off yet w/ shoes and outfits. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
I've been buying female outfits for myself for the last 35 years. My first purchase of a nylon nightie was a little scary, but I soon overcame the anxiety. I've learned to enter the women's section of stores with confidence and expertise. If a particular garment is not in my size or color, I am confident enough to approach a sales associate and seek assistance.
I have never been questioned about my selections, even when inquiring if a particularly attractive pair of 3-inch heels comes in size 11W!
I am by nature a shy person, but I've learned to overcome all shyness when dealing with sales people,especially females.
For me the best is shopping in Line...as Ebay...Sears and many others...I love it!
im totally nervous about it, but i try once in awhile still.
Gee, I didn't know they came in sizes. :lol:Quote:
