You're right, you do deserve better than a 40-y-o game store clerk, but the attention doesn't suck As I tell my single girlfriends, consider it practicing.
One of the dresses I bought last weekend could definitely be a dinner date dress. Not that I have any planned but one should always be prepared. Now that you found the perfect jeans you should get a cute top or two so you can hit the town!
