The Thong

Can't stop thinking about the hairdresser - and it's still a week until my next cut.

Come up with a plan. There's a supermarket round the corner from my flat - but a far longer hike to Tesco takes me past her shop. Might bump into one another.

Squeeze a few blackheads first, giving my face 10 minutes to recover before setting off. Mildred meows as I leave - her way of saying good luck.

Been walking quarter of an hour. Nearly there. Check my hair in a car window. Didn't spot the old lady sat reading a magazine in the passenger seat. Shoos me away.

No sign of my girl as I pass the shop. Chicken out of glancing through the window - she might think I'm stalking her.

Find everything on my list in Tesco, plus a bumper pack of loo roll for half price.

I'm back on her street. There's a short, blonde girl smoking a cigarette outside the barber's. Heart starts racing. It's her. She's spotted me.

Become very conscious of my stride - can't walk with a captive audience.

"Been shopping?" asks my hairdresser, swivelling her foot to extinguish the discarded fag end.

"Yep - got myself some bargains," I reply.

Hold the toilet paper in the air with an outstretched arm to illustrate my point.

"Nice. Did you buy me anything?"

"Er, I wasn't... I mean, I didn't think I'd see you."

"It's okay, I'm only messing."

She's got a lovely smile. Sweet, yet slightly sarcastic.

"Isn't there a supermarket round your way?"

Balls. How does she know where I live? Maybe she's been stalking me?

"It's cheaper down here," I counter.

Good thinking - girls like prudence.

A tall lad with short back and sides nods at her as he saunters past. Dickhead.

"How come you know where I live, anyway?" I interrupt.

"Saw you leaving for work the other day when I was dropping Chris at school."

"Ah, okay."

With that my hairdresser bends down, licks her finger and wipes something off her shoe.

Suddenly I've got sight of a lime green thong rising up her lower back. Could she be any more obvious?

The show lasts a good five seconds before she finds her feet once more.

"Right, well, best get back to work."

Seconds later her amazing arse disappears through the barber shop door and I begin counting the days until my next haircut. That's when I'm going to ask her out. Just need to figure out what to say...

Okay well points for the thong but minus points for it being lime green!
Kermit underwear is not cool.

There's always a million reasons not to do something said...

haha, totally agree with Kate. But also, another plus...most people can feel when their thong is rising out of their pants..maybe that was her way of saying she was interested?? Either way, this is getting interesting!! :)

Beautiful but Grumpy said...

Ugh, the finger licking when cleaning her shoes! Good luck. I must be biased though - I like the pet shop girl :-)

BugginWord said...

Cue the bow-chicka-wow music. It's on.

freckledk said...

She was most definitely flirting with you. Her asking you if you'd bought her anything was very telling, but the bending over was textbook.

Hunter said...

Wooing the girl with an economy pack of toilet paper? A nice bit of romantic jujitsu on your part, sir.

the walking man said...

Try these words..."What time are you off work and where would you like to go for a pint or a shot?"

Kato said...

You've got it in the bag friend. She still wanted to you to see your thong after carting a a bunch of TP down the street?

Oh yeah, you are golden.

Reschedule your hair appointment for today for God's sake, I wanna hear more!

Girls like prudence? No, we hate it. She's an easy one, just don't go the prudence angle.

Sarah said...

got to agree with hunter there. but looks like she's interested as well. good luck!

You can't walk with an audience? You must have a lonely time of it.

Aunt Juicebox said...

I don't think you should wait. What the hell? Dickhead with the short back and sides is going to beat you to it. Then you'll just be known as the loser with the half price loo rolls.

Got to agree with RRGBW prudence is not a quality girls normally look for in a man. No need to strut past with deluxe super soft paper from Waitrose next time but don´t go on about your bargains thinking this will woo her. Altho the boot lickin may indicate a girl who doesn´t care for unnecessary frills? The thong (albeit green and frill-less) has got to be a good sign. Go for it!

Wynn said...

Lime green thong. Either she's got all sorts of seksay underwear in all sorts of hott colours, or she's just way out of anyone's style and uses like cheap happy coloured underwear because they're cheap. And usually ugly. Was it quality thongs?

Hmm.

Sparkless said...

I'd say she was flirting with you so just ask her out. Hate thongs myself. Who needs something wedged between their cheeks all day?

Wish you good luck!
Thanks for your comments!

Don't be sucked in by the too blatant -- obvious. The dept store assistant looks adorable and probably carries less baggage than a lady who dresses in her lingerie to troll for me and tips and has a 6 yr old....

Bamberio said...

Good luck, but I think she's flashing for money - well, er tips.

And it sounds like she has a minging taste in underwear. Not that you're fixating on her pants or anything...

Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hello. It allowed me to discover this blog/intrigue/budding romance

There is definitely flirting coming your way.....

I'm going to follow along....

clo said...

Can't believe you held up the toilet paper. Although she seems pretty keen especially since she noticed where you live. Dodgy colour of thong though...

Bamberio said...

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that she sounds like a bit of a stalker.

I'm on Team Mildred: Pet Shop assistant all the way.

neda said...

what a ho!

pet shop girl. still.

Dating Diva said...

Hmm she knows where you live and she is flirting with you. Sounds promising. But gah to the lime green underwear. Maybe you should ask her out to go panty shopping.

Charlene said...

Nothing says, "How you doin'?" like a green whale's tail.

Good luck!

mo.stoneskin said...

Risky business squeezing a few blackheads first, you could always end up with a face that looks it was attacked by a hairdresser.

But anyway, you could have given her the toilet paper as a present, though that display of quick wit may not have made you look as cool as you really are...

otherworldlyone said...

Finally worked my way over. I'm a hardcore slacker.

I'm loving your blog. Very funny, if the last three posts are any indication.

I'll be back.

Haha! Sorry, that's just funny :)
Good luck with your next haircut.

Sandi K said...

Love the blog! The hairdresser's definitely flirting with you, just go ahead & ask her out to dinner - can't hurt, right? If she's flashing her undies she's probably the kind who will appreciate the direct approach :)

Morgan said...

So the whole thong peep show thing works hunh?

And I thought it was cheap and tacky, silly me.

She sounds a little cheap - probably ok for a shag (wear a condom though for god's sake) but not really relationship material. Or perhaps I'm just being old fashioned!

Jen said...

Women are attracted to CONFIDENCE. Don't pretend you're there by accident. Just ask her out.

"I'm going to _______ on ______. Would you like to come with me?"

I agree she doesn't sound like relationship material. Every woman you date doesn't have to be. The more you date, the more confident you'll be, so go for it.

RobGetaway said...

Self-conscious walk!! Never heard anyone say that before!! ha ha

I get that all the time! Especially the walk away, gotta have some swagger!

Princess T said...

Haha she sounds like the complete opposite of me, but anyway it sounds like she's interested (and easy) so good for you!

But what's with all the song and dance bit about going shopping out of your way to "run into her" if you weren't going to ask her out.

Why don't you just walk into the salon, take her aside and say 'would you like to go to dinner with me saturday night?' Why are you waiting until your next hair appointment?!

Tip: women don't look for prudence; we prefer confidence. To me, a guy who goes out of his way to save a couple of dollars on toilet paper sounds cheap. A guy who goes out of his way to talk to a girl he likes sounds romantic. You should have said 'I was hoping to run into you actually because I want to take you out on a date' !!!

Good luck with this. Be yourself, if she can't handle it you still got the pet shop clerk >>who I still think you should of choose<< :)
