WellHelloThere Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Not that it matters for practical purposes. I was at a laundromat and went to the change machine at the counter. There was a girl asking the attendant to break a 20. I knew she was going to use the change machine, but slipped in front of it and tried to put in a dollar and it came back out. I thought I could change it real quick. I looked back at her and said, "go ahead" and she looked at me and smiled. I know people smile, but it was a sort of long staring smile...whatever. So I proceeded to start my laundry, then went to my car out front to put my laundry bag in the trunk. I went back in to sit down and the attendant said to me, "Can I help you?" I sat and turned to him. She was standing behind him and I glanced at her and told him,"I'm doing laundry here and I'm just waiting for it."..as if it was an odd question, since it's a self serve laundromat. And she stared at me and smiled and I looked back and smiled back at her. Is this flirting on her part? I just never had a girl look at me and smile at a laundromat, even one time. People usually just ignore everyone around them.
chatter Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Alright you need to find some extra courage and just casually start talking to her. Ask her about her day but don't come on to strong yea know? Just get to know her a little ask her how her day was talk for a few minutes and ask if she would like to get coffee sometime! Unless she mentions she has a significant other then do not proceed to ask for coffee. I feel like the odds would be in your favor more if you didn't ask her just the second time you meet her because you still present the stranger vibe but if you just chit chat while doing laundry until she is relaxed and comfortable with you then I would ask her for coffee. Because it always takes me off guard when a strange man immediately asks me out and I always say no because I'm a shy person lol. I appreciate when men ask me out its nice, and don't be afraid of rejection there are over a billion people on this earth and guess what there are going to be a few who are not into you but that still leaves a good couple billion. SO be casual and polite and if she says no be polite too I would suggest waiting until your laundry is done though so that if she does say no its not awkward that yal would just sit there in silence or have forced conversations.
basil67 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Next time you walk in and see her, give her a casual greeting. Such as "Hey, how's your day been?" She may have been flirting or she may have been just being friendly. Either way, you've got nothing to lose by talking with her.

Toodaloo Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I should have next to her on the bench outside of the laundromat and siad hi Probably. Better luck next time!
smackie9 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Never second guess, just do it anyways. Just go and start a conversation like "You come here often? OK that was lame, hi I'm ____ what yours?
