I feel similarly about shopping, a lot of the time. There are few activities more torturous than being dragged shopping with someone else (when you don't need to buy anything).
I don't think so, katkin. They have to stay sober! Guess who has to drive those exhausted women home.
I haven't brought a boyfriend shopping with me since high school. Shopping is a somewhat Zen experience for me, as stupid as that sounds...i have a weird sixth sense about whether I can pull off stupid looking clothes most other people pass by, and I don't want anyone taking me out of my zone. I actually don't like to shop with other girls either.
Actually me too and I wouldn't have it any other way. If I knew my husband/boyfriend was gonna be miserable going shopping with me, I would Not bring them along. That's selfish and torturous. I don't think I'd even date someone who wasn't into shopping.. I like having company while shopping and getting opinions on things I'm going to buy. I like guys that are able to create and appreciate an artistic sense of style if they wanted to.
I have been lucky, my mom not so. My dad always waited in a bar or the car, now usually a coffee shop or he is encourage to go in for the walk. Most guys I have been with enjoyed shopping and that's good because they do need stuff, how they gonna eat if neither of us went in the store? I am not the kind to do long shopping sprees for clothes so they never seem to mind and honestly most of them like to help me pick stuff out anyway. Also I can't go into big stores or malls by myself, I have anxiety issues when mingled with lots of people in big spaces.
