Ok, so, emm.......a ermm...friend of mine has this stuff on his mind.

Theres this girl, works in a clothing shop in town that he kinda likes and thinks that she may kinda likes him, they havent really chatted that much and dont see each other all that often, but even still he's been thinking about it. Apparently she gives him a big smile when she see's him, more than just a 'hi customer, welcome to my store, if I smile you will buy things from me', but a warm, inviting kinda smile and even announced to other members of staff one day that she knows me him (a refrence back to a very brief conversation a few weeks previous)

Given that I....my friend, has only ever seen her in said shop (never outside of it) and doesnt visit the shop too often he wants to know what you would do, without like going to the shop everyday and buying stuff laugh


He's just been thinking about it is all, nothing major I he guesses dunno

ok well here's a suggestion for your emm " friend " ,,
next time you go into the shop , time it around lunchtime --even better if the shop in question closes for an hour for lunch .
if your emm ahem " friend " feels comfortable , tell him to casually ask her if she would like to go for coffee etc whilst she's on her break .

if it doesn't go well , well at least he gave it a try , and you . i mean , he says doesn't go into that shop very often anyway --but if it goes well , great ! you , i mean he , can make arrangements to possibly meet up for a drink some evening ! sorted !!!

he should go for it ! be brave ,otherwise perhaps later regret not having even tried --it could turn out to be the best things you emmm he , ever done !thumbs up grin

Serenity4two: well if she " stands out " then the opportunity has to be grabbed with both hands !! special people like that don't come along very often in life -- tell" him" to go for it , before someone else does --and as regards not knowing her name --that's easy sorted , and she's probably dying to know your/ his name too !!


Stop making it sound so easy!! laugh

cheers

I guess maybe he's at that stage in life now where he doesnt really mind if he makes a fool of himself, might be a new experience! laugh

Go buy a pair of trousers, try them on in the changing rooms, then when you strip naked call her name for assistance...once she sees what you have to offer then she'll be mad for ye banana

Failing that...just ask her a few questions, crack a joke, suss out if she's single, tell her there's not a decent place to get a cup of coffe in this dump, she might just recommend a place to go that she likes then..BAM..you throw in your offer of a quick cuppa and go from there...

Best of luck cheers

i'd say go in the shop and just drop a hint a small one and see how she takes to it,really though i think this is in the bag for you you just have to some interest so she's confident enough to know hows you feel..meet her halfway sorta..
hope it helps.

laugh I dont think she wears a name tag confused But I'll pass on the advice to him.. He was only after visiting the record store yesterday and bought a vinyl LP, but thought it better to throw that into the car before going to this particular shop doh laugh

Green_Sleeves: just a friendly 'hi' and 'goodbye',

GO back to the shop and tell her the slacks are too small/big and ya want an exchange and write your number on the receipt and tell her to call it.

hardest thing in the world is approaching you REALLY like, compared to someone that's just 'OK'... head back into the shop, and just be blunt. Just make sure you do it with a smile and not all serial killer blunt.

'Hi, I'm (insert name) and I know this is out of the blue, and I've never done anything like this before, but would you like to come for a cup of coffee with me?' continue to smile :)

Even if she says no, I guarantee that you (he) will feel good about it anyway. Tough thing to do, but he who dares and all that.
