shyguy3543 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Hey everyone, There's this girl who's come to my job at an animal hospital twice in the past week. It's kinda weird because I usually never hang by the front desk (I'm a technician, so I'm almost always in back) but the first time she visited us, I happened to be at the desk and wound up being the one to greet her and check her in and all that. We spoke a bit and nothing happened at all, but I was just awestruck by how beautiful she was and how down to earth she seemed to be (I wound up taking care of her with the doctor during the appointment). Today I happened to be in one of the treatment rooms waiting for an assistant to bring a dog into the room just for a nail clipping. I went to open the door and she was at the front desk and we made eye contact and she put on a big smile. I went over to help her out (totally ditched my assistant and the nail clipping dog lol). I helped her with some stuff, and she's gonna be swinging by for meds tomorrow. I told her if she needs anything else or if she swings by and our other doctor doesn't know about the scenario with her pup, to ask for me and gave her my name (yeah, just typical customer service lol. I probably should've asked hers?) After that was over with, I was walking back to the room and I turned back and we made eye contact again and she put on a big smile again. Anyway, I think this girl is GORGEOUS! And she seems awesome! Is there any way to ask a client out while I'm at work while not coming off as a creep? Things I know that may come in handy from the little bit we've spoken: 1) She's a teacher 2) She's new to the area 3) Just got a master's degree The only thing I can think of is saying something like "I bet you can't wait to take your pup walking around one of the local state parks" or something like that, her asking where that is, and hoping that leads to more convo... which leads to me being like, "hey, since you're new to the area, I can show you around sometime" or something along those lines. Tips? Suggestions? Advice? Go!!! I'm no pro at this lol Thanks in advance, everyone!
SevenCity Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I like your plan. Play it off cool - don't start out with dinner and a movie. Rather take the light approach "have you been to xxx park? It's great - I'm going there Saturday - want to meet up. Yea, let me know the best way to get in touch with you" Some may say it's unprofessional but nothing trumps love in my book (if you were the dr I might feel different). I think you'll know pretty quickly if she's into it. She may not even feel it's a date so you are taking a risk. Important thing is to engage her in topics of interest and keep it low key. Be cool and see how she responds. If she's not into it, no big deal.
preraph Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I think it's very risky. But since she's new to town (do you even know if she's married??) I think the most you should do is give her your card next time you see her and tell her you understand she's new to the area and that if she wants someone to show her around, give you a call. Then don't contact her again or ask her out unless she contacts you.
HumanMachine Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Bad idea.. If this woman is worth the risk of losing your job over, go for it. Personally I think she's just being friendly.

It's not like he's taking out his pecker, putting it on the table, and saying if she doesn't go out with him he can't gaurantee her dog will get proper care! Do people get fired because they ask someone out? What has this world come to when men should be afraid of financial devastation by asking for a date??? Is she's friendly, he can be friendly as well. Asking her to meet up at a park or show her around is a safe way to do it. 1

Rather take the light approach "have you been to xxx park? It's great - I'm going there Saturday - want to meet up. Yea, let me know the best way to get in touch with you" I'm thinking something like that could be perfect. Even if it doesn't immediately that I'm looking for a date, maybe something like that could work to break the ice and show her I'm a pretty decent guy! I think it's very risky. But since she's new to town (do you even know if she's married??)

Then don't contact her again or ask her out unless she contacts you. I don't know if she's married. For what it's worth, I did look for a ring and noticed only a ring on her right ring finger. I've heard different things about what that can mean. Bad idea.. If this woman is worth the risk of losing your job over, go for it. Personally I think she's just being friendly. That's entirely possible. And ah, I've been considering moving on from this job soon anyway because I'm moving from the veterinary field to the human field. So if I lost this job, while it'd be kinda bad to lose it due to a reason like that being frowned upon, it'd kinda put a fire under my tush to get serious about starting to work at a human hospital. The experience I could get as a nurse's aid could be handy because I'll be graduating in December and becoming an RN. Who knows haha. I love my job overall, and the fact that they "need" me these days because I'm one of only 2 full-time licensed techs are the reasons why I've stayed as long as I have. It's not like he's taking out his pecker, putting it on the table, and saying if she doesn't go out with him he can't gaurantee her dog will get proper care! Yeah, it'd be nothing like that! Haha. Knowing me, I'm probably gonna seem really nervous if I do ask/suggest we meet up. I'm not a very intimidating guy hahaha.
SevenCity Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 It's unprofessional. Because of the medical / veterinary aspect? Would you feel different if he worked at a Starbucks? If there was a hot girl from my vet asking me out I would not be offended or feel it was unprofessional if I was smiling at her. If I wasn't interested I would decline.
Author shyguy3543 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 This may be worth adding to the conversation: The hospital I work at is a corporation that shares its location with a major pet store chain. I could even do something like ask if she's started brushing her pup's teeth yet to get the pup used to it, show her where the tooth cleaning supplies are, and continue convo and stuff there and toss the idea of meeting up "away" form work. Ah ha! I'm a smart one, huh? lol
