 That's just a whole lot of nope. 

I'm fine if there's a context. Out shopping is not a good context for initiating, well, anything.  
 You gotta get out of your comfort zone once in a while 🫂🫂 
 I do. Maybe once or twice a year.  
 Do you like books? If so try a bookshop. It’s normal to wander and occasionally chat about books to randoms in a bookshop. And definitely attractive to girls who read books.
Plus… there are books 💜 
 I do, but, I'm not gonna bother anyone looking for books and gosh... I'd be annoyed if anyone bothered me while I'm browsing. 

And also, there's only one local book store and I would only be caught dead in it as it's just waaaaay lefty. Anyone shopping there is not gonna be anyone I want to date.
