The Girl At GAP

Went into GAP the other day (saturday) in search of some jeans and really liked the girl who worked there.

Whats the best way to approach her/find out if shes seeing anyone/ask her out?

Am finding it quite difficult because I only saw her for about 5 mins (long enough for her to sell me some jeans...) so it may seem a bit weird, also am worried she may not like being approached at work.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

"hey I'm road racer,
I was in here the other day and you sold me some jeans. They're great.
Listen - this might sound a bit random but you seem like a really nice girl and I'd kind of like to get to know you a bit better. Would you fancy meeting up sometime?"

it might take some balls to get the courage to ask her but if you come out with a direct line like that, it's not suggestive or offensive and can only be seen as a compliment, even if she's not interested. And if she is - bingo.

She will either say "um....sure..what/when did you have in mind?" or "thank you! that's really sweet but I've got a boyfriend at the moment"

you are unlikely to be told to do one.

I've never been impressed when I've been asked out at work, I have to say...

ask someone else who works there if she's single? they're bound to tell her you asked but atleast she'll be flattered! and if she is single just go up to her when she's not busy and see if she'll give you her number.

Get A Present for the girl in GAP. She might go out with you then.

Dont think it wud work cause the only other people i saw were guys...and they prob all fancy her!

So wud have to do it without anyone else knowing.

Think of what she'll think of you if you just loiter!

Magic has the right idea. Be sincere and casual about it. I have found that sincerity (even if your just acting) is the best way to approach a girl that you do not know.

I'd say just go up to her and say hi. What is there to lose? It's not like you'll even see her again if you don't

Be yourself - tell her that she seems interesting and you want to get
to know her better. Don't try to be too cool or clever, otherwise she'll just think that your just like the rest....

I found it quite flattering when guys chatted me up at work...as long as they weren't freaky. One guy in particular was a bit too stalker-like...he always used to buy things when he came in though so my manager said I was good for business! haha! Just go up to her and say that you think she's really nice and would she like to go for a drink sometime. Hand her a piece of paper with your number on (and name)...that way she doesn't have to give her number out to a random stranger and she's in control.

the question is- is it cool for a guy at work to go after a customer??? Im guessing that sadly the answer is no.

probably because you haven't wanted to go out with the guys who have asked you

if someone who I liked asked me, I wouldn't mind what situation they were asking me!

Well if at work is the only time they see you, how else would you expect them to ask :p:

Stalk her. She's bound to go to a bar or club at some point. Then you can sort of squeeze in at the bar... whistling a jaunty tune to prove your obliviousness... and then say "Hmm... aren't you that girl who sold me some jeans in GAP the other day?? What a coincidence!" and then get talking.

So that's my advice: Stalk The GAP Girl!

Girl? .... In GAP?? :eek: :confused:

yeah i think you should. My ex asked me out when i was at work and in the end we had a 9 month relationship! She could be your future wife for all you know.... as the SAS say 'those who dare win'
