sega Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 So to introduce myself, I got out of a relationship about 4-5 months ago. I'm ready to get back in the dating game, which means I'm not looking for a girl to just jump in bed with. Specifically, there is this girl who works at the FedEx store a couple blocks away from my house. Occasionally when I have something to ship out I see her, but since it's only a quick few minutes I never got a chance to read any signals from her or anything, just her doing her job. I figure she probably doesn't notice people much since it gets hectic in there. I went the other day and she was there. I made a joke with the other male worker and she sort of chuckled. This was kind of cool, since I'm pretty get-in-get-out about my business there (my fault). So I'm thinking of going in next time, when I actually do have something to ship (or maybe I'll ship an empty box to a random location ) and just casually asking for her number. I don't know if this would be considered weird or not? She has some tattoos, so maybe I can start talking about them and escalate the conversation somehow to me asking her out? I know it's not the best idea to just walk up to a girl and ask her out, but since we're kind of engaging in small talk already with the package info and whatnot I see it as somewhat of an exception. Also people always tell me I am a pretty good looking guy and that I underestimate myself. I get compliments on my handsomeness, though I am a bit out of shape. Doesn't worry me the least bit though.
fishtaco Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Cold approach, chat her up a bit then go for it. You'll catch her off guard, she may tell you no because it's a female knee jerk reaction. But that's cold approach. Pros, you don't waste time. Cons, women not used to it will bail out. Not-so-cold approach. Try to be there when things are not busy. Strike up some small talk. Do it repeatedly until she knows you by name. Then watch for the green light and go for it. Either way, you just have to do it. What's the worst that can happen? She'll say no. And make sure she's not the only one you plan on hitting up on. It's a number game.
veggirl Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I would say go for it but do it when it is slow and there aren't other people around. She may be embarrassed or whatever if her coworkers and stuff overhear so be sensitive to that.
TheWatcher Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Either way, you just have to do it. What's the worst that can happen? Embarrassed,publicly humiliated,laughed at,greeted with disgust/revulsion,etc
fishtaco Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Embarrassed,publicly humiliated,laughed at,greeted with disgust/revulsion,etc Only if you make an ass out of yourself. Ask her out for a cup of coffee. Simple, non intrusive. I did that before, at the chiropractor's office, in front of everyone there. She gave me some basic I can't do it response, then the next time, she worked in something about her boyfriend into our conversation. So I got the hint. After that, I still chatted with her everytime I went to the office, but I didn't make a move. There was no embarrassment, public humiliation, no one laughed at me, I was not greeted with disgust/revulsion. Must be because I'm super hot.
