"Hi, I've started a really sad thread on an internet forum about you and this guy says he wants to see a pic of you or he won't offer me any advice on how to pull you. Do you mind standing up and holding this 'MacBoobsPro' sign while I take a picture of you to post all over the internet. That would be great!. Oh and Pump number 8, a Mars Bar and this Curlywurly, thanks."

Totally a joke, dude - hence the smiley :D. Never read any of the others forums here, huh, where when somebody claims some crazy Mac-thing and somebody posts "pics or it didn't happen." Glad my sarcasm was wasted...

As for advice - just ask her. Done.

Mine wasn't. ;)

When do you plan on aproaching her?

Think she only works Thursday and Friday so I'll see whats what then. I noticed she has a bandaged hand today so I'll ask about that if its still there. ;)

I always feel a twunt when obviously chatting up a bird at other peoples expense when they are queuing behind you. Especially if shes not interested. Lol.
 
I was very shy growing up - I didn't have my first date until I was 20. I had NO CLUE how to do small talk. I learned how to do it, and I'm now married with kids.

My younger brother, on the other hand, talked to cute girls (strangers) all the time. He would always ask cute girls (strangers) 'do you know the time?'. I asked him, 'Why don't you just carry a watch?' He said that by not carrying a watch, he now had a reason to talk to the girl. Wow. I always thought that my 'solution' of wearing a watch accomplished my goal of always knowing the time. My brother's solution of NOT wearing a watch accomplished the SAME goal, but it also allowed him to talk to cute girls all the time, while I didn't have that opportunity.

I found out it's all about figuring out what you want to do (talk to cute girls) and how to enable that.

Will doing something stupid (mind you, you're doing this intentionally) like forgetting to take your change, or leaving your credit card and bolting out of the store 'in a hurry', enable you to come back in 2 minutes later and start a conversation with her? If so, that's a GOOD thing.
 
I'll give it a go. If you dont here from me its because of either too much sex or suicide. :D
 
Okay, first, remain calm. Cute girls can be frightening, but attacks are relatively rare. .

Ah hahaha :D

OP, make the best use of your youth to ask girls out and lose the fear of rejection. I never did, I was always in a chain of serious relationships since I was around 16, been lucky enough to have strong and forward girls/women approach me. And then one day it all stopped. I was single, mid 20s, in a new city again with no social circle prospects and was terrified of asking girls out. So I didn't, and played MMOs instead :D

Good luck, and btw, I did end up growing a pair and asked a cute student girl out who was working at a hotel bar several years ago. We live together now, happily ever after etc.
 
you should..before you leave the shop hand her a note. And in that note write...would you like to go window shopping with me? yes or no.
 
When you go up to the register, say one of these lines:

1. "Pump 7. This soda. ...and your phone number."
2. "I'll take 2 of those instant tickets (scratch off lottery tickets)." When she hands you the tickets, look at them and say......"You know what would be a real win? Getting your phone number."

I like your thinking, but its a bit cheesy don't you think :p

Are there any women on here that can add to this mixed pot of advice? I know thats asking a lot. :D
 
1. "Pump 7. This soda. ...and your phone number."

Number 1 is great if you're a super confident person. But you also have to be able to judge the mood that she's in before you attempt it. If shes in the wrong mood it could go badly.

OP: If you go for number 1 make sure you give her a cheeky wink after saying it ;)
 
I can't believe I'm posting this, especially on a computer forum :rolleyes: but I need a bit of help with the ladies - well one in particular.

I've seen this really cute girl that works in a shop near where I work and I'd really like to ask her out but how do I go from being an occasional customer to being able to be in a position to ask her out? Or at least find out if she's seeing someone?

Just blurting it out instead of 'Pump number 7 please' would probably shock the hell out of her and scare her off at the beginning. I'm truly lame when it comes to women. I'm like Jim out of American Pie "I was born without that part of the brain."

She's got the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen (I'm a sucker for green eyes) but even saying that would be a bit odd coming out of the blue.

Any ideas guys and gals (especially gals)?

This post is so sad Im going to sit in the corner and face the wall. If you intend to post a reply tap me on the shoulder ok?


She's probably nailing an older man - don't bother.
 
Go in with some minor thing you need help with, once you've got her attention, smile, look her in the eyes, and say "I know we don't know each other at all, but I think you have pretty eyes and I was wondering if you'd have dinner with me sometime."

I always had an impression that dinner wasn't the best choice for a first date, girls don't really like to eat in front of someone they don't really know well.
 
I would highly suggest talking to her AFTER she gets off work. That way you're not just another customer trying to hit on her. If she's cute, I'm sure she get's a lot guys casually talking to her all day.
 
Don't take her to a movie or out to dinner, because those won't allow you to chat with her very good. Go grab some coffee at starbucks or something. If you get rejected at least you tried, just take that money you were going to spend on a date and get a prostitute.
 
Under no circumstances should you pass her a note. That is just a terrible idea. What ever you decide to do, make it quick. Get in and get out so she knows little about you. Your first goal is to try to get her to keep thinking about you and wanting more. If you happen to spark up a conversation and its going well, get out of the store ASAP. Don't be rude about it (obviously) but say something like "My breaks over. I gotta run. Maybe i'll see ya tomorrow."

You need to have talked to her a few times before you think about raising a question to take her out. Let her get to know you for awhile, then i suggest taking her for a few drinks. Something casual at first. NO movies though...you can't talk during a movie and it just gets awkward.

Lastly: Just be yourself. You don't want her to start liking someone you aren't. You will eventually show her your true self, and if she doesn't like it then your screwed. (unless you just want to get some a few times. if that's the case act your heart out!!!)

Also, make sure she doesn't have a ring on her finger. (That's one of the four things I always check first: Body ->Face -> Ass -> Ring)

God Speed.
 
just go up to her with an item to buy, and while shes ringing it up, ask her how much does a polar bear weigh? to which she should reply i dont kno, and then you say, enough to break the ice, and then start a converstation, that should make her smile, if shes smart enough to get it :)
 
Okay, first, remain calm. Cute girls can be frightening, but attacks are relatively rare. First off, just try to avoid her. If she stands on her hind legs and stares at you, it's more likely curiosity than a threat. Just keep your distance, particularly if she has cubs. Wave your arms around and talk. You just want the cute girl to understand you're a human being. If she continues getting closer, make louder noises, but never growl or squeal.

Try backing away slowly, but not directly backwards. If the cute girl follows, though, stand your ground. Whatever you do, do not run. This will make you appear as prey to the cute girl, and they can move surprisingly fast.

In the unlikely event you are attacked by a cute girl, ball up on the ground in a fetal position, protect your neck and head, and play dead. If the cute girl sees you as a threat, she will probably give up at this point, but wait until she moves well away to stand up. If she continues to attack after you play dead, then she probably sees you as prey and you should fight back as hard as you can, but I won't lie to you: you're probably going to die.

Now THAT's funny.
 
Under no circumstances should you pass her a note. That is just a terrible idea.

If for no other reason, she might think you're handing her a note telling her to quietly empty the register and put all the money in a paper bag.
 
I cringed while reading half of the replies.

Alright life lesson time.

Women love confidence. It comes down to this. You have two options:

A} Never ask her out and go through your days wondering "what if."

B} Ask her to do something. You get a no? Oh well, head down to Burger King and hit on another cashier. You get a yes? Well good.

The thing about life is, if you don't try it's as if they said no. You don't apply for that job? It's like they said no. You don't ask a girl out? It's as if she said no.

What is your personality type? If you try to do something unatural it is going to come off rehearsed and if she happens to say yes, she will read through you on the first date.

1. What's your personality type?

2. What type of interaction has gone on? Just asking to turn a pump on, or do you small talk?

3. Look for signs. Has she adjusted her hair? Took her eyes of a customers transaction to watch you walk in? (A good 3 second stare). Does she smile at you? (Beyond customer service). What are we working with here?
