Wait a minute. You're telling me that a guy who works at the Apple Store is a wee bit geeky? I'm sorry, but that flies in the face of my preconceived notions about Apple Store employees. Here I thought they were Maxim-reading, Ed Hardy-wearing meatheads ready to pound any dork who dares to buy a pink iPod Nano into a bloody pulp. At the very least, I assumed they all look like Justin Long. (For the record, I'm a John Hodgman.)

I kid, I kid. I love that you get excited by the way he demonstrates the MacBook's multi-touch trackpad and built-in iSight camera. Is the "Genius Bar" the new singles bar? I've heard tell that the Apple Store is the hot new pick-up scene, which I now see isn't just some savvy Apple marketing ploy. Did you know that their flagship Manhattan store is open 24/7 and housed under a glass cube? In the future, we will all hide from the rampaging zombie hordes under one of those things.

You should definitely ask him out, but don't get him fired. I don't know Apple's policy, but having worked retail in my time, I can imagine that their "laidback" corporate vibe will get tossed out the window if his manager thinks he's hitting on a customer. So wait until after closing and try to catch him on his way out with a final question about installing Final Cut or something. Then ask him if he'd like to get a drink and talk about how buggy Windows 7 is, or make fun of Zune users together. Don't forget to register at the Apple Store for your wedding!
