    Unhappy Trying to meet a girl that works at a store

    I'm sure questions like this have been asked before but Im looking for help with this specific situation. Today I was in a store and I couldn't find what I needed (paintbrushes) so I asked a girl that worked there. I have never seen this girl before but I was mesmerized by how pretty she was. She helped me out and gave me a cute akward smile. After I left the store I realized I should have maybe flirted more and tried to get her number. Now I don't know what to do. I am just looking for suggestions, ways to approach the situation without seeking creepy. I don't even know if she will remember me either. I have nothing to lose so I'm open to all suggestions.

    Go back to the store. If she's there, talk to her while you shop. If she's not, try again another time.
    Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Make it a positive and constructive one.

    Come back again, and ask her to show you where more stuff is. Casually build up the relationship so she begins to see not as some strange customer but as a familiar face. When that point has happened just ask for her name and find out more about her in small talk. At the end of the convo just say she seems like a cool person and youd like to hang out again sometime soon, get the her number and then peace. Just hit her up whenever and see if she comes to hang out, if not no loss for you.

    First. Never assume that this girl is not already in a relationship. Go back and try to make her smile by asked her where something is and then saying something like "I can never find anything in this store, I hope your here to help me every time I come.. becuase your so good at what you do" or something lame like that, lol.

    Maybe the little bit that you did say made her ask herself who you are, and left her thinking about you as much as your thinking about her. Try something like "Do you work often" and talk about her how helpful she is..

    Goodluck

    gees its not a big deal to ask for a girls number if you go back to the store again or just go to see if shes there you can just look around for a while then maybe pick two brushes out and ask her which one she would use. then just say something like this I was wondering if it would be okay to get your number or give you mine cause i wanna talk with you some more when your not at work...
    then its just up to her if she wants to call or have you call her she will.. never got the whole build up a relationship thing with someone at a store.

    Well you can do what I would do, but granted, it's not everyone's style. I would go back and just be totally fucking honest. I think too many people get concerned with how to package it. In reality, if your chill and honest and don't exude an air of creepiness, you should be fine. Just go up and say something akin to "hey do you remember me? i was here the other day? look i don't mean to forwards or anything...but i just think the last time i walked out of here was a total mistake. i think you ridiculously cute and i was just wondering if maybe you'd like to go out for coffee or something sometime?" Just something like that. If you are confident and secure with yourself...she won't be awkward. On the other hand if you're shaking in your boots and not confident it won't work. You will just seem strange and blatant. So be relaxed, smile a lot, and be yourself. Good luck!

    Well maybe you shoudlnt have been so mesmerised by how pretty she was and opened your mouth to speak! Lol, anyways, .... she probably wont remember u unless its a store that doesnt get big business. Or if its a big store then if you dont have anything that stands out about you like hella piercings or blue hair then she wont remember u.

    Next time shes there say something like "Hey, you're the girl who helped me out last time, im pretty sure you dont remember me though i'm not as cute as you are"..... then start a convo like "so how long u been wrkin here, ive never seen u here"... "how do u like it" ... "ok well i dnt wanna distrat u from wrk,....but i enjoyed chatting w/ u, id like to chat more....is it possible i can have ur number or u take mine" .... anyways somethin like that!

    Good luck dude! ^_~

    Take the paintbrushes back and get refund and blame it on the girl so that she gets fired and then while she's crying and vonerable scoop her up!! No... kidding..

    Just go back to store and look for something else.. and maybe bring a friend along with you to look casual and dismiss them when you run into her again. Then strike up a conversation... ask her out.. and if she says no then never shop their again.. and if she says yes then SCORE! Just don't take it seriously.. you only live once so just ask her out and if she says no then oh well life goes on.. but don't not do it and regret it the rest of your life...

    Yep. Pretty much what Chandra said.

    Just go back there and ask her out. That sounds easier than it is, but you don't need to worry, because in my experience, the more awkward a situation is, the more a girl will like you for trying to stick with it. It shows that you're not going to let something lame like embarassment or blushing get in the way of the fact that you like her. Instantly that's like +10 man points and +10 cute points (never an easy combination).

    Don't try to start up a friendship/relationship with her based on repeatedly going into the shop, she'll sense that you're being a pussy by the fifth time you've asked her what her favourite colour is.

    And looking back, do exactly what Mikey said, the guy is wise, I'd modify it only slightly.

    "hey i was here the other day, and I saw you, and I kind of walked out, and since then I've been telling myself I'm an idiot for not really speaking to you, so do you want to maybe go get a drink or something?" Rambles are fine, and again, are cute.

    Yes. Awkward but determined wins me over the first few times. After that, it's no longer acceptable and if you continue to be awkward, it's just frustrating, and I'm too impatient to deal with your social ineptitude. Just like...hide your nervousness or something.

    Anyway- there's some good advice in this thread. Take it.
