I can just picture how awkward and wonderful this must have been! 
It was SOOO great. I just really didn't understand why he chose to sit next to me. Numero Uno, we had a 3 year old and a 7 month old with us. Numero 2, there was the rest of the entire empty theater. Numero 3, I was there first, so technically the hand rest was mine, I might be extremely territorial. HAHAHAHAA

I enjoy being awkward around people and creeping in the first place. It's just really fun, so I totally understand where you are coming from... A couple of weeks ago I was at Busch Gardens and we were watching one of their stage shows. Well the building was empty but this guy and his best friend decided to sit RIGHT NEXT TO ME! We weren't even in good seat because we had a 3 year old with us so we were near the exit in case we needed to leave quickly. Then, to make things worse, he put his arm on my hand rest.... soooo I did the natural, albeit totally awkward thing and reached over and held his hand! HAHAHAHAHAHA You should have seen his face!!!! My husband, sister-in-law and her husband were watching and they couldn't stop laughing. Needless to say, he got up and left. I didn't think he would leave, but apparently I creeped him out enough.

This is the best thing I have heard all day! LOL.

My best friend is this.same.exact.way....! She is fearless and I just about pee myself even going to the grocery store with her..TOO funny!

Alright everyone, I need some help. My SS doesn't have a wish list and hasn't answered any of the questions on this thread. I have stalked her and found her on a different thread, and the only thing I've found about her is that she likes a particular makeup brand that is pretty pricey. All of the pieces they offer are outside the price range. Granted I already bought one for her, hoping that she doesn't already have it, but still. What in the world should I do with the rest of the items for her?

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Not just in person either, if I park my new car way out in the boonies away from every other car I'll come out to someone next to me. Entire parking lot is empty and I've got the one butthead who decided my car needed a friend.

Little things you've made, snacks... maybe samples of things you have in storage she might like?

Can you get a feel for what she likes from what she posted about the brand? Color schemes? Formula preferences?

Can you posibly get samples of their products? Or perhaps you could google dupes of the items. The other day I was searching for dupes of Dior Addict Lip Glow and found a $5 dupe for it.

I think the main reason that I am having so much fun with this is because I don't get to buy makeup and beauty related gifts very often. My two best friends always get my swatched items that didn't work out, so I only buy them gifts during their birthdays or for significant life events. So this is fun because I see little things here and there that a beauty lover would enjoy. And now I am in way over my head, hahaha.
I feel the same way.  I started buying extra goodies yesterday only to realize only person I could give them to is my santee because most of my girlfriends would just not appreciate them.

It is a $45 perfume but I got it for only $28!!! And I've completely blown by you will not go over $35 limit and I'm in the $60's, oops lol
I'd be happy with that.  One of the best parts of MUT is discovering new products that other women love.  I hope my SS will be sharing favorites with me.

I used to be really intimidated by other people and never in my life thought that I would be able to even approach anyone. But once I had a baby and people would do really weird things to me, like come and touch my belly or tell me how I was having a girl because my face was heavy, I found my voice. And my voice just happens to be one that is extremely awkward and overly obvious.

Eeek that's rough. BUT it looks like some people are still putting up lists and such, so maybe give her a day or two and see if she posts anything. Or maybe you can find her on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram (I hardcore stalked my person, obviously). If you want help creepin', I'd be more than happy to assist! 

Or maybe see if you can figure out what aspects of the brand she likes? Colors, textures, etc and find something similar but cheaper?

If all else fails, send her a message via someone else and tell her to get her darn wishlist updated!

If someone doesn't appreciate makeup I don't buy them makeup. It breaks my heart because I love it so much!!!

I really want to buy a full sized bottle of that. I was thinking of getting Prada Candy with a Sephora Scent Certificate but apparently the staying power is horrible... Boo hoo, maybe I will finally order the Pink Sugar.

Oh, man! I bet it smells like CAKE! I love sweet smells!

I am enjoying just trying to figure out what lucky person has me, lol. I finally updated my list. I don't have a lot on it because I basically left it up to my secret santee. I hope whomever doesn't get frustrated. I am really easy to please, IMO.

Yea, I love finding the perfect gifts for people so I don't buy those friends makeup either.  But it does break my heart too!

It smells amazing they have the rollerball for only like $20 I think! I picked my SS up a 1.7 oz and me a 3.4 oz lol I already have it in a rollerball (and about 10 samples no joke lol) but I wanted to be able to spray it on. It is definitely worth the buy!!!
