There is a clothing store that I go often, ofcourse for buying clothes. I talked much with the guy staffs there. Recently a cute girl started to work there. And I said to the guy staff that I think she is cute. 2 weeks before, I asked her to help me with clothes, and we had a great talk. She knew some facts about me, maybe she heard from the guy staff. She showed some IOIs.

So last week I went there with the intention of No closing. But that day she didn't work ( I asked the guy staff for that). 2 days later, I had to go to the mall so I dropped by the store, she wasn't there again ( I asked another guy staff for that).

So do that 2 times came-but-didn't-meet-her lower my value? Maybe the guy staffs will tell her that I came to meet her.

I plan to wait 1 or 2 weeks before going there again though.

If she mentions it just shrug and say you enjoyed talking and wanted to get to know her, so you dropped by when you were in town. But, yeah, I'd say wait for a bit before you go again.

Yeah I'd wait a bit too, but I think it all depends on how cool you are with the guy staff and what his intentions toward the hb are. I've gone to places and gotten so friendly with all the staff that they started to see me like one of them. The guy workers would even go to another part of the store and give me some space while I flirted with the female workers.
But if you aren't that cool with the guy worker, he might turn into a cockblocker later when you try to number close.
