 I'm not going to target.
1. It's a really trash company. 
2. It's too far away. 
3. I'm not sure I'm going to get along with anyone that shops at target. 
4. I don't go shopping.

 Ahem sir, TJ Maxx is not target 😂😂. It's about broadening your horizons and maybe she's just in the Maxx looking for a great deal because she hates paying full price for brand name stuff...😉

 Huh. I'm not sure how a read that as target. 

That's a sound argument. 

But you really underestimate how much I detest shopping and how little I want to interact with people in general. Plus, I'm friggin awkward in person and definitely not cute enough to not come off as creepy if I talk to a woman who's just minding her own business.

 😂😂 I just bet I hate shopping more than you. Hard to believe, but there it is. Women's clothes are awful and the cheese can back me up on how upset I get when I have to buy new clothes. You have to practice peopling, or else it's just going to get worse. The only way to practice is by going out and being awkward, trying to teach our kid this as well 😂🤷‍♀️. Lastly, what you call awkward, a lady might call charming. I have talked to and helped guys out a few times and just giggled to myself about it because it was sincere and sweet.

 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.

 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.
