Asking girl out who works at Pret?

groen said:
Taking her across the road to starbucks would be stupid. Maybe i could try get her number, but that would seem stalkerish. Should i slowly keep asking her more questions every day and then one day ask for her number?

women like a man with confidence you don't seem to have any.

if you act all shy , timid and scared you are less likely to get a date

No i am not shy or lack confidence. Just want to succeed. And not coming across as stupid is the best way to do that.

you won't come across as stupid unless you plan on saying something lengthy and confuse your self.

keep it simple shes either interested in you or shes not the worse than can happen is she politely refuses
for all you know there could be a thread on mumsnet about you right now asking the same question

Just remember a lot of shop staff are overly friendly anyway and might not be hitting on you..

Maybe she seriously wanted in my pants but I suspect she was just being overly friendly or very bored and wanted someone to interact with for a few minutes to pass the time.

Similar thing happened to me and my boss at the Pret in Southampton.

There was a very nice young lady who would always chat and smile.

Don't ask me how we got onto the subject but at the staff party last Christmas my boss said "I'm sure the girl in Pret fancies me, she's always really flirty".

Then I said, "Does she have blonde hair, is she a florist in her spare time and is her name Kaitlin…"

The look on his face was priceless. :D
 
it's orange wednesday and I have no friends would you like to accompany me to the cinema?

works everytime
another good one is pretend you have a +1 to a wedding on boxing day
 
Listen to the very end of this Alicia Keys song and do exactly what she does:


you just need to get her number first

Asking her is a win win, even if she says no you gain experience. The only way you lose is if you never ask. :)

Until you're buying a coffee/lunch the next day.

Shop staff are always overly friendly, there's a line between customer service and flirting though, figure this out before you make your move.

Have you been flirting with her? Or are you some chatless stalker creep she probably wouldn't recognise despite you ordering the same thing 5 days a week?

edit:

and bear in mind, female shop staff, particularly in high footfall stores like coffee places get asked out on a daily basis.

Order your food, smile and just ask her out!

I'm beginning to wonder if there actually is a population growth :).
 
Pret employ lots of homeless people and ex-offenders, it's a great place to work apparently, so if you're up for the possibility she's killed someone get in there
 
Dont be such a fool Groen! How can you not see that this girl placed in Pret is a conspiracy. She is placed there to win your affections and distract you so that you stop asking questions about the secret evil governments all over the world. Once you fall in love, they will have you.

RUN

Do you think it would be dumb to ask this girl out, who works at the Pret near my work? I see her every morning nearly and I thought i could ask her to lunch or something? How would you go about it without coming across as being stupid?

Have you been chatting with her frequently? As in... beyond your daily coffee/lunch order?

This!

I'd build up a rapport with her first to see if she's just being friendly or flirty. Don't just jump on in there.
