I've had a decent Saturday.
I went out, mall, shopping, gas (petrol), treat purchases, fast food (McDonald's), errands and chores revolving around the mall.
🛒🛍️
As well as, car coolant filling, checking car fluids and car oils before leaving the house. 🏠🚗
Always gotta love that car maintenance 😛
Sunday will be catch up for ☕ coffee with friends.
And work was work, I got through it, as usual grateful.

Aka shopping malls, etc. do you women like to sneak stares, sneak glances at hot regular guys you see around town or around the malls, around months? Etc etc - I sometimes think people have crushes they never act on, they just have it in play like a fan fiction that remains their own mind imagination - I remember in my own 20s, I'd often think about women I'd see around in my 20s, yet I never ever asked any out - they'd just seem to appear from time to time when I was going about my chores, aka, the mall, the gas station lol or major event - lol the town lifestyle

The other day, I saw a news item about a new housing development being built nearby. I have no intention of moving, but I was curious about it, so I went to its website and looked around. The next day, I get an email asking me to make an appointment to see the model home. I ignored it.

A few weeks ago, my wife went shopping and used my credit cared (we share it, but it's in my name). A few days later, I start getting emails and text messages asking if I want to buy more of what she bought. I ignore those.

On my way to visit a friend a while back, I passed a shopping mall. I know Google tracks my cellphone, and sure enough, I started getting emails and texts from stores in the mall... that I didn't even stop at. I ignore them.

For years now, my I get coupons in the mail from my grocery store for items that I often buy, plus an occasional item I don't buy, just to get me to try it. I use the coupons for things that I want to buy, don't use the others.

I'd say it is definitely girls.

They are the ones famous for loving to go shopping, and they are the ones who tend to spend a ton of money on useless little things like nails, expensive hair treatments, buying new handbags when they have more then one already, buying many shoes, etc. All to satisfy there whims which come and go like the flick of a thumb. lol
