scatback23 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Earlier today I was in a dollar store getting a few items. When I went to pay there were two hot girls who were probably 18-20 in the checkout line just ahead of me. When they first saw me one of them gave me quick double take and then they started to whisper. I guess my new exercise regiment is working. I hoping they would wait outside the store for a few moments, but before they paid, one of the girls' parents came and they both went out to their car. As I walked out the door, the two girls were sitting in the back seat waving at me as the car pull out of the lot. Realistically, would there have been any good way to flirt and try to have gotten their numbers? I only had maybe 10 seconds before they walked outside and the parents came. Any ideas?
JackieChiles Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Last year, I was standing in the checkout line at a grocery stores (Wegmans) and the girl in front of me, roughly my age, started asking me about the items I was buying. I had like 10 of them, and was going to make some nachos. She asked me if I was making some type of crazy dip. The conversation didn't really go anywhere, I didn't have any initial attraction to her at all so I ended the conversation and we went along with our days. Try to find a common theme to make a comment on. Or ask them why they were looking at you, even poke fun at yourself. Worst case scenario if you don't say something - you never see them again Worst case scenario if you do say something - you never see them again Best case scenario if you don't say something - you never see them again Best case scenario if you do say something - you may see them again
Jon Tenzo Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Kind of awkward for a man to approach when mom and dad is there. For a woman it wouldn't matter but you would have had to acknowledge the parents and come in a very polite way. After all you don't know if Papa Bear has a shotgun in his trunk. If they were really into you or smart about it they would have slipped you a paper with their number on it or something...
ScreamingTrees Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 @Tenzo - But do people really ever slip one another their phone numbers in public, via paper? Like, in a gosh darn dollar store? Never heard of it. Who carries around paper and pens/pencils? Who plans on such a scenario unfolding? Don't most people have phones that they can just dial numbers into? It basically comes down to someone saying "hey, give me your number, I'll put it in my phone!" and your average person will not do this, because no matter how enthusiastic or comfortable ONE party is, it's most likely going to be awkward regardless because it usually is an awkward situation to begin with when a total stranger just randomly goes up to someone and asks them out on the spot.. And I wouldn't care if their parents are there, usually I get along with older folk and I can imagine a girl's parents standing there smiling at the scene. @Jackie - How do you even know she was hitting on you? Sounds like small talk to me. I've had plenty of it with it never going anywhere, because again, what are they going to do while we're in line for two minutes with other people behind us? Is she going to awkwardly just say "oh, hey, you're cute, can I get your number after I pay for my stuff!?" You could've mistook her small talk for attraction or a green light and said "hey, you want to make nachos with me sometime? I could put your number in my phone if you'd like" and she'd possibly look at you like "what? all I did was ask you about your nachos bro, that was unexpected.." I guess unless you're that attractive? IDK OP, I don't know. I would've said that even if they were checking you out, it doesn't mean jack **** because you're no closer to them knowing that they were checking you out than you were before this realization. The waving part is an odd gesture, rather pointless, but, hey, good for you, I guess? An ego stroke is always nice, if you're certain that they were feeling you..
Socks At Play Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 It basically comes down to someone saying "hey, give me your number, I'll put it in my phone!" and your average person will not do this, because no matter how enthusiastic or comfortable ONE party is, it's most likely going to be awkward regardless because it usually is an awkward situation to begin with when a total stranger just randomly goes up to someone and asks them out on the spot.. What has a guy got to lose? Either she sees/feels some sort of attraction as well and puts her number into the phone or she says no thanks. The guy who doesn't ask definitely doesn't get her number. Even if she gives it out she could still ignore the guy, but at least he tried. At the very least the process deals out a pleasant little adrenaline rush.

Normally, I would advocate for the direct approach, but in this case I am thinking that if they were there with their parents, then they might have been a lot younger than 18. I wouldn't want to be the guy who was flirting a bunch with a couple of 14 year olds who just look older.
