The SO and I went to Rue 21 yesterday to pick out some things because they have a huge clearance sale and shorts buy one get one 50% off. We hadn't even been the store five minutes and my SO said she had to go to the bathroom, I simply gave her a nod and kept looking around. I was probably in the shop for a good 15 minutes alone looking around picking out a few tops and shorts when she came back. We continued looking around and she picked out a few things then went to the dressing room to try them on. I had two shirts and a pair of shorts picked out for myself. I had clearly been grabbing things from the female side of the store and didn't hesitate on shaping up to them to see if they were long enough or if I thought they'd fit. I am thinking the employee noticed me doing so because while waiting outside the dressing room she asked if I needed a room also. I REALLY wanted to say yes. But the tops wouldn't look right without my forms so I said no but I definitely took a few seconds to say so. I didn't even say something to deflect the question like "no, this is woman's clothing" " no they're her clothes," nothing,not sure why. She said okay with a smile and walked away, and I wasn't sure what to think about it haha. When we were checking out at the respgister she was helping us again. If you've ever been to Rue 21 you know they have all the perfume at the counter or within arms reach of it. I asked my SO if she wanted any because I knew she liked their options. I noticed a box I thought was cute and asked her to grab a sample and see what it smelled like. She had me smell it too, I Ike it and she was kind of hesitant on it. I wasn't even thinking and said " grab it I like the way it smells." Thinking about it now it sounds like I might just want her to wear it as I like the smell, but the employee had asked if we were picking one out for her or myself. I found it a little strange and of course me and my Sao kind of looked at each other and both hesitated then said For her. Maybe I'm just thinking to much about it but it feels she thought I was shopping for myself haha. Maybe I'm being paranoid, what do you guys think? I like their clothing and it's not at a bad price point so maybe it'll be easier to shop there on my own if she does know?
