Having displayed vulnerability thru fallibility, I seemed to have boosted the man's comfort level with me significantly, and we had a few more exchanges with him in a position of superiority before he dismissed me. I said "you have a good day too" very cutely because I was turned on by the 30 second interlude. Is that normal?

You'll grow out of it. It's annoying. After a fact. Unless the other person is more attractive.
