I need major .

[Kylemopar]

I'm a part time host at a Denny's. I only work the weekends. There's this red head with cute little freckles who usually comes to eat and read. She's not the prettiest girl ever but for some reason I'm struck by her. She's a pale and skinny, she looks a lot like the girl from Brave. She always comes in by herself. I'm not a waiter, I'm a host. So I sit her down and ask her for her drink, I start small talk with her usually asking her what she's reading this time, mostly light banter. I look her in the eyes when I do and she laughs at what I say. I'm too enamored with her hazel eyes that I always fail to see her body language or if she's blushing for some sort of 'signal'.

 

She comes each week, except last week. Today she came with her dad. But I was too busy to sit them down and talk with them for a bit. But whenever I looked at her she would sometimes be looking at me but maybe she just happened to glance at me for a bit, I hope not lol. All I said to her while they were eating was "No book today?" She laughed and said "No not today."

 

They came up to pay. Turns out she's Mexican cause her dad asked her to help him with the check. I talked to the dad in Spanish for a bit and made him laugh, basically saying that it's okay that he doesn't speak very good English because he has his secretary with him. I asked her if she came last week and she said no. I told her, "Oh okay, I woke here only during the weekends. I can't forget a face like yours." And she laughed.

 

I know that it's an illegal practice to ask a customer out or hit in them but I just can't stop thinking about this girl. And having to wait a week to see her just to talk to her for only a few minutes is kind of harsh. I kind of want to tell her this "Hey do you like Italian food? *hopefully the answer is yes* there's this restaurant that opened up on this same street a few miles down. You might like it. I've never been there before so I can't really tell you if it's good or not but if you'd like we can check it out together?" And if the planets are aligned and Donald Trump loses that race and she hopefully says yes I'll say. "Great well company policies forbid me to ask anyone out but you can ask for my number whenever you want, okay?" I really want to go for it, I understand the risks, but I just can't stop thinking about her for some reason. Is it weird that I remember what she orders all the time? What should I do? I know almost nothing about her except that she goes to our local university. I don't even know her name.

Go for it just like you said. Tell her she needs to ask for your number so you don't get in trouble. Of course, you're still hitting on her, but what the hell you only live once and I bet you can get a host job just about anywhere if Denny's falls apart.

I love this story... and yes go for it!

 

And LOL at the Trump reference!

 

Let us know what happens.

 

And good luck!!

[Kylemopar]

Do you guys think I could have probably just been reading her wrong? I tend to do that. I'm gonna try no doubt but I don't want to make a fool of myself either. I know that it's never a for sure thing either.

[ff12343]

You will never know if you don't try. Go for it!

[Kylemopar]

Is there a better/smoother way to ask her?

[Kylemopar]

Anybody know a better way to ask her? Should I wait to see her a few more times more before asking her out? Should I pretend that she dropped something and chase her out the restaurant telling her she dropped 'this' which is actually a napkin with my number?

Just stick with your original idea. It's better than the napkin trick.

No be yourself. Always better in the end.

 

 

Also you Italian restaurant idea was a good one.

[smackie9]

Ask her if she is single first. I find it a more respectful way to start asking someone out.

 

Who cares about the company policy...it's only bloody Denny's. There are plenty of other places to get a job at.

[Kylemopar]

Well she didn't come to Denny's this weekend. I shouldn't take that as a sign should I?

[ExpatInItaly]

Heavens, no.

 

She could have been away, sick, busy. Don't over-think it.

[fitnessfan365]

I think you should be honest and direct in a respectful manner.

 

"Normally I'd never ask a customer out. But I think you're really attractive and it inspired me to take a risk. So are you free to grab dinner sometime this week? I know a great Italian place". You're making your intentions known and paying her a compliment in that she was worth the risk of asking out.

[Standard-Fare]

I do think you should go for this, because you never know when that week will arrive when she doesn't come in ... followed by the next week, and the next week... and she's just gone. So, carpe diem!

 

I agree with the poster who said to p*ss all over Denny's "policy." Don't treat it like a United Nations treaty.

 

As far as best method, I like the idea of asking her if she has a BF, but be immediately prepared to follow that up. (She'll probably just blush and say no.)

 

Or, assuming you're her waiter, you could attach a note on her check. "I have to admit I have a little crush on you. You want to join me for dinner sometime? Here's my number - text me later if you're interested." Something like that.

 

Now, if she rejects your advances, it's obviously going to be an awkward situation for both of you with her future Denny's visits, but don't let that stop you. You'll have more regrets if you don't try.

[Satu]

Do it.

 

Definitely.

 

Fortune favours the bold.
