Two thoughts. Years ago, before I was a nurse, I was a salesman for a very good, but expensive product. I went through the training program, absorbed all the facts, but my instructor encouraged us to put our own personality into the presentations. I did not like the higher pressure closings that they showed us, and used while we were trainees and called in to the office to let our supervisor do the closing. When I was on my own, I integrated myself into the situation and got to know the perspective customers, much like your salesman did. I could not do a pressure closing, and often just left them to think it over. My bosses thought I was nuts, but I was high sales many weeks in our office, just by being me. Your blog brought back those memories for me. As for coming out of the desert, I can slightly relate. After my husband died, I shied away from any dating opportunities. I did not want to get embroiled in the work and disappointments that came with relationships. When I joined SFF, it was not for finding a mate, it was for just having something to do when I wasn't working. If I found a friend nearby to go out to eat with me, that would be great, but I wasn't very hopeful when I saw how scattered SFF folks were. When I met Joe, I began to have those emotions that I thought were gone forever. I'm glad for you. Maybe someday that spark will ignite. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Maybe you can make a deal and offer the salesman your service to teach him how to dance! Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi
