Apparently frozen yogurt makes me flirty. In my quest to figure out how, exactly, women flirt with men, I have been looking for opportunities to test out different approaches.
When I entered Pinkberry with my two friends Saturday night, I did not have the goal of hitting on the man serving me frozen yogurt. Not even to try to score some free toppings, as I have never been the sort of girl that works the system like that. I was just there to appease my Pinkberry loving friend and wash down my Mexican food with some dessert.
There was an intriguing new flavor advertised on the board - Salted Caramel - and I planned to ask for a sample. My friend requested one ahead of me, and before I knew it the Pinkberry workman - aka Kevin - was handing me a sample as well. He told me he read it on my face. In that moment I realized it’s possible Kevin understood me more than any man I had ever met.
I ordered Chocolate and Salted Caramel together in the same cup. Then it came time to choose toppings. Kevin said though he could previously read my mind, he wasn’t sure what I wanted now. I asked his professional opinion. He let me try a few different options; I went with Oreo. But before he let me move on to get rung up, he wasn’t quite done with me yet:
Kevin: I think you should try Heath Bar too. You won’t be disappointed.
Me: Ok, I trust you. I’ll take some Heath.
Kevin: Oh, you trust me? That’s a big step in our relationship.
Me: Absolutely. You’ve earned it. Thank you so much. I only wish there’s something I could do for you.
Kevin: Well...I mean...There could be.
Cue me blushing, both of us laughing, and the unfortunate ending to a great conversation with a good looking man. I could have tried to press my luck, but I think by not doing that I learned an even bigger lesson: Knowing when to walk away.
