It’s more a female thing, I think. Possibly not so much because of gender per se, as because of the relative number of shops selling particular goods. Either way, my wife will happily spend a full day just wandering around looking at clothes and trying things on; she calls it “Having a shop fuddle”. We’re retired, so I could go with her, but I’ve given up on that because (a) I get bored after the first 30 minutes and (b) just following someone around when you’re not interested in what they’re doing is incredibly tiring. Sure, if there are things I want we can split up for an hour or so – but that’s only a small fraction of the time she’d like to spend. So now she goes off on her own and I either join her later or just let her get on with it. She gets her shopping session; I get a relaxed day to myself. Win-win.

So much for doing it in only an hour.

Well it’s not too bad if you head to FofH or V.S. and accompany her into the changing booth to help her ‘try on’ the material, right?!?!?!?!?

Drop her off and let her call when she’s ready. Then you pick her up when you’re ready.

What’ll she do at the Radio Shack?

I’m a woman and I hate to just browse in a store. I don’t care if it’s a clothing store or a big box store.

The first time I went shopping with a girl I was dating was the last time I went shopping with any (unrelated) female ever…

Probably something she can use in Spencer Gifts.
