Should I shoot my shot next time?!

Earlier this morning I went to the grocery store and I asked this girl’s worker for an item that I was looking for.., and while answering she was very friendly and outgoing should I go back I hope to see her and shoot it?!
Dont be reckless, make sure she’s interested first. Maybe shes friendly cuz thats her job. Try going there often for her, ask for items and try to understand how she feels abt u then decide from there
Gun violence is never the answer. Has the attempted trump assassination taught you nothing?

Okok thx!
Shooting your shot in public may count as public indecency... and if it gets her, then it's sexual assault, so don't do it 😉

OK, serious answer now... As Anon#2 said, try chatting to her and find out a bit more about her first. She'll probably suspect you're interested in her, and if she's not, then chances are she'll mention a boyfriend or something... Either that, or alter her shift so she's less likely to bump into you, or otherwise try and keep her distance from you.

Personally, in these kind of situations, I would get a rapport going with her. If she doesn't mention a partner herself, I'd steer the conversation towards social things in general, and when appropriate say something like, "Oh, I bet your fella loves that?". If she's got a boyfriend, she'll agree or disagree as appropriate. If she's single, she then has to declare that she's single. Furthermore, if she doesn't immediately follow that up with a story about how great it is to be single or how a boyfriend would be a bad move right now, then you can pretty much take that as a "Green Light".

What's more, if she didn't suspect you were interested before hand, you've also given her the perfect opportunity to "invent" a BF to get rid of you... so she'd almost certainly be OK with you making a move on her.

No it’s not a dating context and girls in retail are quite likely to find this an occupational hazard rather than something positive. If you do want to give it a go try to build up conversation over a few meetings to judge if there is mutual interest
