A girl drives into the parking lot of a mall. She walks towards the entrance of Dillard's with a "get in-get out" mindset. There is one guy about 15 steps ahead of her already near the door. They make eye contact.
The guy reaches for the door.
guy:
(beat)
(turns around)
(with an alterior motive, almost flirtatiously)
hey, how you doin'?
girl:
(trying to be cool, calm)
i'm alright.
Guy opens door.
guy:
(creepily attempting to be inviting)
so do you like to party?
Guy keeps door open for girl.
girl:
(almost hastily, trying to escape any further conversation)
most days...
(beat)
thanks.
They walk into the store. Girl attempts to pick up the pace to get away.
guy:
most days? so is that a yes?
girl:
i guess.
Girl continues in attempts to give him the slip.
guy:
(hastily)
let me give you my card. i'm a...
girl:
(realizing what he was and attempting to be slightly nicer and therefore slowing her pace)
oh. you're an event...
guy (cont.):

guy and girl:
planner.
girl:
(beat)
thanks.
Girl walks away, further into the store. Guy heads toward entrance.
guy:

Girl looks at card.
girl:
Quang.
guy:

Guy walks out and girl walks deeper into the store confused by this unexpected approach.

should i have said "no" to have avoided the whole conversation? would that have stopped him? what did i do to make him talk to me?
i was pretty sure i had "hi. and bye. i'm busy and i don't want to talk to you" written on my forehead.
i guess not.
