I [18M] didn’t get any contact info. Feeling regretful.

So I attend college and in between classes I have a huge gap. I decided during that gap that I wanted to buy some AirPods at the nearest Apple store.

A girl my age helps me out with the transaction, all while we have some very light and mildly flirty conversation. I was planning on trying to get some form of communication as the transaction finished, but she gave me what I came for and said enjoy.

I left and grabbed a bite and while eating I thought about going back to try and grab a number. Since I didn’t purchase AppleCare for the headphones, my plan was to try and return to the store to add the AppleCare to the headphones with her again, and this time I’d (hopefully) be successful.

As I walked back to the store, I noticed she was speaking with her manager at a table near the cafe. I assumed it was something about her job, so I waited and waited close to the entrance of the store, since I didn’t want to interrupt something that was potentially important for her. The convo between her boss and her lasted a while, but never saw an end. I had to get back home, so I decided to leave it at that.

I’m pretty much regretting it now that I’m thinking back on it, why I never got her number. It was a tough situation to be in and it’s just very difficult in general. Any tips on what to do in a tricky situation like this? I thought about going back to the store same time next week to try. But I wanted to see how to deal with this regret now.
