Emissary Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 So I work at Timmy's, and for once it's not actually a girl I work with, but a regular customer. We chat all the time when she picks up her morning coffee, we both like each other for certain, though I'm not sure what the prospects are for initiating even a casual relationship for starters. I sadly don't even know her name, I keep meaning to just ask her, but I always forget or chicken out. Her co-workers come in a fair amount as well, I'm almost thinking of asking one of them what her name is. Sort of a casual sort of thing, "hey what's your manager's name? XXXX eh? Is she seeing anybody at the moment?" I would personally just expect an answer, but you never know with girls. They might relay to her that I'm scoping her out. We're also in one of those romance sort of moods at work, everybody at work is focused on their partners or potential love interests. It's more or less common knowledge at work now that I'm interested in this girl. One of them I suspect is going to interfere in some way, she means well, but I fear she may do something stupid. At any rate, I'm just gathering information for now, the most important part is for me to learn her schedule. I can't ask her out when she gets her coffee, I occasionally bump into her during her lunch break when she's outside smoking(That's like her only fault), this would be the best time to ask her. Just chat it up a bit, "So what are you up to the next few nights? Yeah, we should go do X together some time." And then we'll go for ice cream and go on walks, then make love all night long. In a perfect world anyway.
Philosoraptor Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Just ask her what her name is then on a date. No need to drop hints or get anyone else involved. Worst she can do is shoot you down.
Casablanca Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Just ask her what her name is then on a date. No need to drop hints or get anyone else involved. Worst she can do is shoot you down. This, it is kind of taboo to get someone else to help...take the risk!
Leopard Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 It's not taboo but it's a turn off and a sign of bad character. Is he going to need a third party when he needs to have a serious talk with her too?
gaius Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 What's the other girl going to do? Some women can actually be helpful and others like to mess you up on purpose. I wouldn't say it's taboo to have someone help you. If she ever finds out you liked her and didn't just man up and do it yourself she'll lose respect though.
veggirl Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 No you shouldn't enlist a 3rd party. It's awkward--she will run back and tell the girl you like and then what? It's messy. Just ask her her name and if she is seeing someone. Bringing in a 3rd party is too juvenile, so unless you are like 20 or under, I wouldn't do it!
USMCHokie Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Is it taboo to enlist third party assistance in asking a girl out? Not in middle school.
