Funny scene in a food shop: (my German is not so good, so I tuned in and out)

Cast of characters: shopkeeper, customer, and me, looking at pastas and occasionally eavesdropping.
The customer was telling the shopkeeper about his love life; he's apparently scheming to win someone over, and was looking for the right cheese for the occasion. The shopkeeper gave him a sliver of Manchego to taste and held up the huge wheel, declaring, "Women love this cheese!" I tuned out for a while, until I heard the customer say, "Maybe I think about things too much." When he left, the shopkeeper wished him good luck. I wish I had paid more attention to their whole long conversation.
