sorry if this has been said before

I really like this guy who works in a petshop n cos i hv pets i normally need to buy sumfing there. whenever i walk in he always says hi n smiles and i hv started to really like him. he is probably just being friendly but even when he was on the floor behind the counter he jumped up to say hi. i really want to get to know him and perhaps take things further but i can't exactly go in a petshop every 5minutes and spend hrs in there. does anyone have any advice on how i can take things further?

First little less of the text speak, i can't understand it very well, secondly just casually ask him if he wants to go for a drink sometime and perhaps just get to know each other a bit more.

Dont expect him to make the first move whilae at work. Hitting on customers is a huge no-no at most places! You'll have to ask him out somewhere.

Is it wrong to just ask him if he is single?

Yes, wrong and illegal - they locked someone up just the other day for 10 years for asking that very question! :eek:

If the pet store is pets at home then employees have to say hello to all customers, offer all customers help and always smile....part of the job! :eek:

i did mention that but it isn't pets at home it is a small petshop and its normally quiet. But he said hello when he was on the floor behind the counter, he made me jump because i didn't realise he was there lol

If I was stuck in a pet shop all day with just animals and other employees for company then I'd jump at the chance to have a conversation too.

but I bet he likes you :smile:

start making small talk, say while you "browse pet food?"

Find out if he's interested with some flirty questions, but don't be too blatant or you're stuck with some serious awkwardness every time you need to go in there to get something for your pets if it turns out he's not interested. :wink:

Get over your fear of rejection, what's the worst that could happen:
Yes I suppose he could laugh in your face,thus causing you to be uncomfortable about shopping there anymore; consequently causing your pet to starve and ultimately die.

Or he could say yes.

Therefore you must choose- Potentially get boyfriend:Potentially dead pet.

Nah only kidding: "In 20 years no one will remember what you wear or how popular you were, all that will matter is what you learned and what person you've become"

The same applies here, if he rejects you then in a relatively short period of time no one will remember or even care.What's to lose

Yeh definately go for it, I would say he likes you, if he seems keen to say hello to you lots then that positive, I would do the same in his position and I fancied you, he's trying to make converstaion with you 'cos he likes you IMO. Don't quite know how to ask him out/let him know you like him, putting myself in his shoes again, the best thing would be to ask him out, just say there's a film on/ do you wanna go to that new restaurant, corny I know but if he likes you he won't care at all just will be really chuffed that you like him too, and if he doesn't he will just be flattered that you found him attractive!

If you lack the confidence to ask him straight out right now just strike up convs with him when you're in there next....I can't find what I need/ do you reccomend this stuff? (though conversations about petfood aren't paticularly romantic so try and steer the topic onto music/something better if you can, better to just ask him out tho!)

buy him a cute bunny

Or casually walk up to him and say "Hey honey, hows about we do what the bunnies do and romp!"

it might be me!! :smile:

dreaming over, just talk to him ive had customers flirt with me but not really say much which has really annoyed me...just talk to him at the moment nothings happening with you so you've got nothing to loose

like someone else has said on her staff at pets at home are supposed to say hi to all customers but when theres 200+ customers walking in the door what you are supposed to say and what happens are 2 different things
