Have you ever asked out a cute/hot shopgirl or sales assistant? - Page 4

Forgive me if I verge slightly into "Conne" territory...

A few days ago I dropped off a pair of Persols at Lenscrafters to have them made into sunglasses, and was assisted by a rather cute shopkeeper. She was friendly, we chatted a bit, and I think I'm going to ask her for teh digits. I have to pick up the glasses tomorrow.

I was wearing a faded red polo, and a pair of gray seersucker shorts with little black fishes embroidered throughout. Should I double-down on the obnoxious preppiness (lime green, patchwork, et cetera) or wear a simpler pair of khaki shorts and a RL polo?

You can never be too preppy.

It's what humans do, it's part of being a man, if someone has a problem with it, its their problem, not yours. There's nothing wrong or bad about rejection aside from the feelings you have afterwards (which can suck, but no biggy).

Asking a woman who you do not see often is not difficult. Asking out a woman you see every day is. Why? Because if she says no, she has power over me if she knows I like her but she does not feel the same. I enjoy talking with this woman, even if she's paid to be nice to me. Business travel is lonely. I don't want to alienate her, yet.

No, I never chatted to any that were interesting enough to carry on a conversation with. They would have to have looks and personality or I don't think I'd even bother.

I can definitely see your point, but it's a view I try to avoid. I like to think about what type of person would overcome this and try to think in that manner. In this case, think of a charming man that walks into a hotel every day and flirts with the secretary, one day he asks her if she's got any plans for the night and offers her a night on the town, she smiles and says shes busy/tired/has other plans, the man says nothing in return, smiles and stares at her charmingly, whilst still smiling, he then says "I'll see you around" and gives a wink, not for a split second showing disappointment, regret or frustration. Later on in the weeks he will make further propositions with equal charm and nonchalance and one day she may very well take the bait. The point is though, a guy like this with a care free attitude won't let anything get in his way of being happy and succesful, likewise, a rejection from a girl he meets frequently doesn't stop him from being charming and friendly around her and in some cases doesn't even stop him from trying his luck again. Having an attraction to a woman doesn't mean she has the upper hand, it just means she has something he likes, if the guy has enough going for him then she may very well have more to lose than he does by rejecting the proposition (a very alpha male).

Only when I worked in the shop, too. That kind of thing is awkward, though. If you start going out, even when it goes well, there's all that awkwardness at work.

These posts are useless.
None of you state your own ages, or what year these encounters took place.
You are taking segments of your own lives out of context, which nullifies the stories.
C'mon guys...ammend your posts.
This could have been interesting reading.

In January, I was talking to a less-than-attractive about shopgirl from H&M about Chinese restaurants, then after she rang me up and I'd started walking away, she asked me to wait up and write my number on her copy of my receipt. Stupidly enough, I did. She was maybe ~20 ; I guess she couldn't tell I'm 15.

Anyway, she texted me, I didn't respond, and then she ended up leaving a message. I left her a message saying I had finals to study for and then was going back to school the next week. It was awkward.
