Oh god, I went into waitrose to talk to the girl who talks to me and completely blanked her mate who offered to look up chinese resturants online for me.
I'm building up to it though, I'll get her facebook or number. Today I went in and asked her for a personal recomendation for chinese restruants. I then realised I hadn't bought anything and it blatently looks like I was going in just to talk to her, which I was, so I ended up buying a load of expensive sushi and a Red Velvet Pie thing.

I have no sofas at the moment as the new ones come tomrow, so I'm sitting at my table. I got a feeling tonight will be an early one.

I'd be wary of asking a shop girl for her number for a while anyway

I'd never do either in a million years.
Asking for a number makes your intentions way too obvious.
Tell a lie I did ask a girl for hers a couple months back, got it obviously. Then offset it a couple of days later by texting her saying "Christ did I really ask for your number on Friday? Can't believe how cheesy that was, I'll be asking you to the prom next". She bloody lapped it up.

As a customer service person though, she might not lap it up.
I'd hang on a bit if I was Gonz.

How about this?
"Listen, I'm new to the area as you know, I get back from my job as a web developer for an extreme sport's social network in trendy farringdon. I gotta eat, you gotta eat, we all gotta eat. How do you fancy some time me and you eating at the same resturant at the same time? Maybe even at the same table."

Only time I ever agreed to a date with a customer I was pissed.
Sober I would never. She might not be like me though.

Yeah', but I don't mind being turned down, and it's not creepy drunken thing, it's creepy customer thing.

I guess it doesn't help that I'm sat in my pants overlooking her work's carpark.

As long as you get the right balance of shyness and humour you should be fine : )

Hopefully !
I donno if I blanked her collegue, a tall black guy, he was going through his phone finding chinese resturants when I said "Thank's mate, I apprechate it, but I was thinking of local personal recomendations", and he looked so dejected.

Worth a shot?

See above!

( girlinthehole, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 19:46, Reply)

nah
it's much better to try and stalk someone and find out as much as you can about them before trying to make a move. Definitely works for me. Wait...it didn't. Gonz- listen to Barry

Yeah', FB isn't the best thing to ask for first, I wouldn't have actually done that.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 19:24, Reply)

God, what if she spells with 'you' as 'u' ?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 19:24, Reply)
