Best way to ask out the girl who works at starbucks? Ive never picked up a working girl before, apart from two strippers and one bartender, but they dont really count now do they? And there was the time with the woman who might have been an off duty hooker... Who can tell these days... But i digress....

The girl at starbucks on this island is real cute, we kinda catch each others eye when im in there and make polite small talk. Is the best way to approach this one as simple as asking her to a movie or out to eat? Im thinking maybe mini golf cause its awesome, and halfway original lol.

It just seems kind of awkward approaching a girl while shes working. Given the time of year i could ask to be her valentine haha.

Opinions? (funny or serious, it doesnt matter ill probably do my own thing anyway)

Love you,
Nick

INB4 Glass rose.

Quickly establish a good rapport and just ask her out. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

Dump her for your hot redheaded friend?

Order something from her, be incredibly cheesy when she asks you if there's anything else you want, and say something incredibly awkward for her like "Could I also get your number?" Or "How about a date on ____?"

Mini golf is not original in  the slightest but it's still cute and if she's that kind of girl, it's a solid choice.

Close.

I'd make a joke out of asking her out for a cup of coffee sometime. See how she reacts. If its a positive reaction, you're in.

If not, then it wasn't anything more than a goofy joke, and you're no worse off than you were before.

I think my odds are helped by the fact that the average age on this island is like 70, and im pretty sure shes glad to see someone around her own age walk in every once in a while. Gonna try tomorrow if shes working.

From 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High'..."I was wondering if I could get your number so I can ask you out sometime..."

I always thought that was good, it doesn't really put the girl on the spot for a yes or no answer to a date, and it lets her known your interested.

This isn't a bartender or a stripper, this is a girl with a real (classy) job.  You need to do your homework and sell yourself:

  • Follow her home to find out where she lives
  • Steal her mail so you can get her home/cell phone numbers and see if she carries a credit card balance
  • Take pictures of her from afar
  • Combine the information into a binder which you will show her when you ask her out
    • The first part of the binder is to show you are serious about a long term relationship as opposed to wanting something quick and cheap--as a minimum it should include the following:
      • Pictures of her taken in various places at all hours--this shows you think about her all the time
      • Tables containing her routine daily movements, phone numbers, likes/dislikes, etc.--this shows how attentive a boyfriend you would be
      • A combined budget based off of both of your incomes/spending patterns--lets her know you take family responsibilities seriously
    • The second section is to sell her on what a great couple you would make--minimum requirements are as follows:
      • Pictures that have you photoshopped into her daily activities--increasing her smile/apparent happiness in these photos is recommended as it demonstrates how much happier she could be with you around
      • "Morphed" pictures (from shots of the two of you) that show how great your kids would turn out
    • If you really want to impress her you could have a third section that included all the completed wedding plans (women love it when you take care of the details) but finding the addresses of all her friends/relatives for the invitations would be significantly more work.

Mack i am actually short of breath from laughing. Amazing. Im gonna put off asking her out until i can get my binder put together. I really like the part about photoshopping her to "increase her smile/apparent happiness ... as it demonstrates how much happier she could be with you around."

Brilliant.

I just peed a little from laughing, and my wife wants to run away with you.

Thank you.  On a serious note Zata (above my other post) is on the right track.  I would alter his suggestion by letting the girl know you are interested and offering her your phone number.  Many woman are more comfortable with this as it doesn't put them in the position of having to refuse their phone number (which given the psychos running around, some hate to hand out.)  If she calls, she's interested; if she doesn't, oh well.
