Have you ever been in a video game store, were checking out the games and saw someone near you checking out the same games as you, and you decided to make some conversation with them? Did it become just a one-time encounter or did you guys get each other's contact info and keep in touch?

Can't say that I have, but I did hit a guy. That was way more satisfying.

Made a lot of friends back when I worked in one...and people some times hit on me. But I can't say I've ever made friends while shopping for video games. It's a shame...

I have had video games initiate friendships but have not had this happen within a video game store.

There are a couple of guys at my local Gamestop that are pretty cool. We talk when I go in there, but other than that, we don't communicate at all.

No, but the guy at the register started talking to me about wrestling when he saw me looking at SmackDown v Raw 2010.

Keep in touch from people I meet in stores? No. I have had decent conversations with people though.

No but I did get the phone number of the attractive shop assistant. We bonded over the argument of "UFC 09: interactive fight art vs gay porn simulator".

Not really. The guy that works the register at a local GameStop is pretty cool and helpful, but I've never actually talked to him. Haha

That sounded slightly homosexual...

I'm the 1% who isn't under the age of 6 Most people in game stores are just annoying kids vying for the publically playable console or whining about getting a new game

lol I was thinking the same thing. A conversation in a game store wouldn't go as far as to make friends, itwould just be weird otherwise.

I've made some friends with people that work in a local game shop. I don't have their contact info or anything, but I go in there all the time to loiter and chit-chat.

Nope. The only time someone talks to me in those kind of stores is when I am wearing one of my video game shirts. Then again... that's one of the few reasons why someone will say something to me randomly... is because of the shirts I wear. :P

Never. Just one time some guy said "That's cool", or something like that when I was getting a game :P

And another was trying to convince me that there were more than enough good games for wii :lol:

I've had a few conversations, yes, but not long ones.

Well there was this one time a kid and his brother or something started asking my girlfriend and I opinions on games, but I think they wanted to be friends with my lady friend and not me :(.
