    Would this actually work/has it happened to you?
    Okay, earlier I was out job hunting and walked into a bar and there was a girl behind the bar. I asked her and she was really nice (probably just doing her job well and being customer friendly) and then I asked a general follow up question about the job. However, just as I was leaving I realised I wanted to turn around and say 'and can I get your number?' or something similar to that - she was hot ha!

    Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen this happen before with any of my friends and was wondering has this technique just been created by sitcoms/films where it happens regularly? So that's why I am asking, girls, has this ever happened to you? Or what are your thoughts on it? Or guys, have you ever tried something similar to this? Maybe I'll give it a go next time.... and not be scared of rejection. Ha, yeah right

    Trust me, she's only being good with the customers. Whilst up in Bristol recently i tried the same thing with the girl behind the bar in a pub and whilst she was hot and nice i could tell she was uncomfortable with the situation

    I've had a lot of guys ask for my number (trying not to brag lol) and if they are good looking or if I'm genuinely interested then I will give it, i think if you think someone is hot and sort if like them then you should go for it !!

    go for it, the worst that can happen is she says no (just remember to ask for your CV back as chances are you wont get/want that job anymore after a rejection and why waste a perfectly good CV?)

    2 of my guy mates, if they get CV's off hot girls they write down their names and search them on facebook lol!!!

    I would tend not to bother people when they are working, it would be more of a nuisance because she's being paid to be polite to everyone so she wouldn't want to appear rude.

    But in everyday situations I would say go for it, the thing you've got to remember is that some girls will reject you because they're not used to being chatted up in the day time so they might think you're a bit weird haha, or they might be rushing to get somewhere, have a boyfriend, just don't want to go on a date with a random stranger etc. rather than rejecting you because of your looks or whatever else.

    I've only been asked for my number once in the daytime on a train on the way to uni and my automatic reaction was 'no sorry!' because it took me completely off guard and I didn't really have time to think about it and I felt so awkward, but afterwards I did regret it because he was quite cute

    Just ask. The worst she will do is laugh and say no.

    You have nothing to lose by asking, and even if she says no, you'll have made her day by asking her out. Everyone likes to be flattered/found attractive.
