cognac Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 So there's this lady at my job who comes in once in a blue moon. I work at a pharmacy by the way. Well this lady is just so sexy to me and I can't even explain it (she dresses very plain according to everyone else) but anyway let me get to the point. Every time she meets me she asks me how I'm doing. Then I start saying some really silly things when she's around. Here's why I'm thinking about doing this: she laughs uncontrollably at every single thing I say!! She just explodes in laughter at crappy 1 liners from the 90's like "hurry up, my clothes are going out of style"! She seems really intelligent too, artsy even. Anyway there is some promotion at my job where customers leave their emails and they get some kind of coupon. I asked her to fill it out and she was hesitant. Then I said "trust me lady, I'm not going to take it and email you I already got 3 restraining orders" she started laughing and said "no that's not why I'm not doing it". She filled it out after that and I bid her farewell. She rushed back in five minutes later and left for the backdoor. Now here's the kicker, I am a creep and I did jot down her email . Now, I'm thinking about emailing her out of the blue to ask her out on a date since I never see her. I have no idea if she has a boyfriend, how old she is (im 21) , or anything, but I am strongly thinking about it. Maybe Im grasping for straws but I thnk she MAY find me attractive too. Should I do it?
Tony T Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Could go three ways. She could reply and decline your offer of a date. She could reply and accept your offer of a date. OR she could be so upset at you for violating her privacy by copying her Email address that she could report you to your boss and have you fired. I think you should have been a lot more bold and asked her for her name and number right then and there. Now, you're taking big chances making an approach with an Email address she did not freely give you.
JimmyJ Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I agree with Tony T, it's a big risk given that she didn't give it to you. And generally women prefer the personal touch - why not invite her out for coffee sometime and see how she reacts?
USMCHokie Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Not kosher. Also potentially illegal, for both you and your employer. Instead, try this: ask for her number next time you see her. Simple. Legal. Not creepy.

I think you should have been a lot more bold and asked her for her name and number right then and there. Now, you're taking big chances making an approach with an Email address she did not freely give you. Yeah, I agree. Probably should have asked her then and there, knowing that you rarely see her. But, no point in looking at what could of! Could go either way.
soulm8 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I completely agree. It sucks, but you blew it man!! Don't wuss out next time.
ella23 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Not kosher. Also potentially illegal, for both you and your employer. Instead, try this: ask for her number next time you see her. Simple. Legal. Not creepy. This. Don't email her. That would be plain wrong.
DollWelch Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Ask her out in person. Period. No e-mail BS. You missed your chance last time. You'll have to wait until next time, to ask her out. Good luck!
lab_brat Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Totally agree. I'd find it a total violation of privacy, and rather creepy. Especially after the restraining order joke. Don't do it. It'd freak me out massively, esp since chemists can get your home address and details off scripts etc. If she comes in again, ask her out.
Satisfaction Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Since its already in your head you should make a joke of it and then ask her out. She seems to have a sense of humour.
Tony T Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Having given it more thought, I think you would be in for MAJOR trouble by Emailing her using an Email address you were not authorized to use. DON'T DO IT. Throw her address in the trash and learn from this. Emailing her could become way more trouble than it's worth. Find another way of seeing her again if you can.
BobSacamento Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Wow this is just like when Jerry got that woman's number off the AIDs walk list. Needless to say it didn't work out for him.
Art_Critic Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Your employer the Pharmacy most likely has a published privacy policy and I'd bet that if you contacted her you would be fired since you would have broken the policy and put the pharmacy in a rather tight legal bind. You cannot contact a customer for your own private reasons if the email was given for a different intent in this case.. Because you work for a pharmacy and personal info is treated with the utmost respect ie: social security numbers etc etc, if the pharmacy allowed this type of behavior then they wouldn't be in busness very long.. Don't contact her..
BobSacamento Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Hey there is always FOIL. I guess if you go by the proper procedure, you could get it. OR! You could man up and ask her for her number the next time she comes in. Say something corny like - "Hey turns out we are having a second promotion which involves dinner and dancing with an employee here, it's my turn this week."
Art_Critic Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) I forgot about HIPAA.. Here is a quick look into how privacy is treated with patient information. She is considered a patient and as such her private info is protected under HIPAA laws.. I grabbed a well known pharmacy's intro.. It wouldn't be worth being fired and possibly brought up on federal charges. The code does have legal remedy's in place for such a breach of private information security *********** wants you to know that nothing is more central to our health care operations than maintaining the privacy of your health information. Federal regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") require ********** to post its Notice of Privacy Practices (the "Notice") on this Web site and make the notice available electronically through the Web site.

Lakeside_runner Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 If you're interested in her and the only time you see her is when she comes in to the pharmacy you for at it is going to be extremely difficult! DO NOT E-MAIL HER!!! Um, does she have a ring?
Zeegagge Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Don't email her. Wrong on many levels. Even if it did work, remember that the first move can set the tone for the entire relationship (or lack of).
Hot Carl Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I say go for it. What's the worst that could happen?
Author cognac Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 Woah the people have spoken. Didn't think it was that bad of an idea, really only because of the female involved, I think even if she rejected me she would think it was clever and interesting. She doesn't have a wedding ring either. I can usually tell married and people in relationships by what they buy, I don't think she's living with a guy either, never seen her in there anything but alone.
burning 4 revenge Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I say go for it. What's the worst that could happen? Yeah If youre nervous about anything any of the other posters said I think you could just set up a dummy email and take a picture of yourself wearing a ski mask and whipping out your Don Johnson with something pithy like "Ive got your prescription right here"...you know, so she knows who it is, but youre not being direct about it
Lakeside_runner Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I say go for it. What's the worst that could happen? Yeah... worst case scenario the guy would have lost his job in a sh***y economy so... not a big deal, right?
littlebittle Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Wow this is just like when Jerry got that woman's number off the AIDs walk list. Needless to say it didn't work out for him. Haha oh, Bob BTW, yes, emailing her would be creepy.
sid3 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I say go for it. What's the worst that could happen? She could find it really creepy, and avoid any future contact with him. She could get really pissed and call the company's HQ and make a formal complaint. Kiss your job good bye. She may have a pyschotic bf that will show up and give the OP a beating. She could contact the BBB and file a complaint aagainst the company you work for, punishing them for your creepiness.. He'd be far better off chatting her up, GROW A PAIR, and ask her for her number, or even better for a date.
Hot Carl Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Is that all SO bad? She could say yes. Life is full of hard choices.
alphamale Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Should I do it? its a bit creepy...ask her out next time she comes in
