It is more common for a man to go into a jewelry store to buy something for a special female than the other way around.
But the opposite is what occurred last week.
My new girlfriend asked me if I would like her to buy some jewelry for me. Would I say no??! I said some earrings would be great. I suggested dangly ones.
So last week she went into the shop. She has short hair and doesn't wear makeup or earrings. It was pretty clear to the SA that the earrings were not going to be for her. Apparently she was a little flustered, but was able to carry on. In the end, GF didn't really like any of the dangly ones and so she found some others she did like. The SA, correctly, still assumes they are not for GF and holds them up to her own ears to give an idea of what they might look like on someone else. Once the decision was made, the SA offered to put them in a gift box, still assuming they were for a female.
Yesterday I was the happy recipient of some beautiful earrings. I only hope I don't have to explain where or how I got them.
