yeawutever Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 In my relationship it was the opposite of what is typically expected. He used to take too long to the point I was sitting on a bench. One time it took him about an hour to buy a pair of shoes and shirt. I always detested going to shopping malls just to look around for more than 20 minutes. First, I don't like being stuck there for too long and I only have two purpose. Usually I either go there to buy something at that moment and get it over with or know exactly what I will want at a later time. Afterwards I get out of there. In addition I don't go spending my money of things I'm not even going to use (unless it was something to eat or a dessert). I can't recall of any occasion where I came home with 6 bags. What for???

Dako Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If you got long-term with this guy, he could be your personal shopper and save you from mall fatigue. Link to comment
Chris Knows Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If you got long-term with this guy, he could be your personal shopper and save you from mall fatigue. Exactly. I am not a big fan of shopping and I try to avoid it at all cost. Here is a typical shopping day for me ... Her a cart for me please" Me : "Alright" -- She shops around the entire store. Browsing through EVERY row of clothes. Picking up everything she likes and tossing it in a basket -- -- 2 Hours later she finally goes to try it on -- -- Realizes she doesn't like any of the clothes and puts it all back and we leave -- Fun, eh?

I'm now in a long distance relationship with him. So yes that's a good idea... since he's a shopper lover. It sure will save me going through all that. Link to comment

My partner does the same thing. Im very much like yeawutever......I go to the mall for what I know I need. In and out....when we go shopping together, its a 5 hour ordeal LOL Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 my suggestion is just not to go shopping with him then. or as dako says, send him off if you have an errand for him. i am one of those shoppers who can come home with 6 bags. however, i try not to drag my friends along, as i know they don't want to be waiting while i try on 37 blouses. however, sometimes my friends and i will 'split up' and meet back somewhere at a certain time. cell phones are great.

darkblue Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I love the term "Mall Fatigue". Personally, I think retail therapy is, well, therapeutic. Even with food-shopping, I take far too long and buy far too much of what is, essentially, stuff I didn't want or really need. Link to comment
Jd1983 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I actually do that. I can go window shop for hours, and pick up numerous items and buy none. My bf on the other hand, goes into the store picks out exactly what he wants and just leaves. Link to comment
OntheWire Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I don't usually buy a lot at a mall, but I can definitely shop for several hours in one. Especially jean shopping... I'll try on maybe 30 pairs of jeans per store. I even try on different pairs of the exact same brand and style and size because of the little differences from pair to pair. Link to comment

absinthe Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 My husband and I are similar shoppers. We figure out what we want and go buy it, but rarely together, unless he needs my opinion. The only time I do any serious shopping is a quarterly annual shopping trip with the girls, where we head down south over a weekend and literally shop until we drop, dining and kicking back after 10 p.m.!

ApC23 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 my girlfriend doesn't like to go grocery shopping with me because I tend to read the labels on everything and compare products...and if I don't know what an ingredient is I like to look it up on my iphone. I remember once it took me almost 10 minutes to pick out a can of beans...my gf just walked away lol. Link to comment
