I can...think of many instances where a woman lacks a sense of humor. How many women comedians do you see (that are any good)?

please refer to this post full of hilarity, on the page before your post:

nothing lacking there. :lol:



OP good luck!! ! i've got no advice. if a customer had tried to pick me up at my workplace i'd be very unlikely to go out with them, but other women are most likely different from me.

basically theres this girl that works at a grocery store near-ish my house. one night i was picking up some energy drinks before heading to his house, and i got the impression that the girl was into me // attracted to me. basically what happened was this: i was about to check out, and a guy behind me asked to go ahead since it was almost time that alcohol could not be sold legally. i said sure, since i wasnt in a hurry. she said 'that was nice of you!' and i replied 'yea im in SUCH a rush', being sarcastic and hopefully charming :S. the guy later basically ran away after tossing 2$ on the table to pay for my drink. i said goodbye, and headed out.

i tried going to see her again tonight because time is of the essence right? these things are all about timing and lack of hesitation, right? (meaning i basically already failed lol!)

so whats the best way to talk to her? if someone is behind me in line i'll have to carry the conversation on whilst staying there. i can try to be confident because that really matters, but it makes me uneasy to think about that awkward social situation that would rarely happen. i just cant emulate it in my brain at all XD.

any tips? how would you go about this?


anonymous-shyster is probably right that you shouldn't expect much from this.

clerks are supposed to be really friendly to customers, but while they are on shift, conversing with them too long or even flirting could be troublesome. it is best, if possible, to contact her when she is not in the middle of working. it would be really awkward asking her out, if there's people behind you waiting to buy their groceries.

I don't know how to construe that as her being intrested, personally..

Most people treat other people indifferently. A good sales clerk will feign an interest in you, in order to seal the deal. When someone treats you with a little more interest than you are accustomed to, it makes you feel special, but really, it's just a con (usually).

This is a lady at the till in a shop, not a salesman/saleswoman.

i dont know. something about this encounter was different i think. something about her tone, and they way she looked at me (i was very 'kept' that day, my hair looked phenomenal), made be believe it might have been more than just 'oh hello random person i'll be selling things to'.

i will certainly pursue this with caution, however :D
