Ok iv decided to bite the bullet and ask a girl out. Been about 8 months iv been single now but over 4 years since i last asked anyone out.

Problem is im nervous as hell. Dont know how to approach her. I see her everyday at she works in the same place i do although im in the office she serves the coffee and the food out at the makeshift canteen in the foyer. Prob reading signs that are not there but shes recently been smiling at me when i go up in the morning in a way im perceiving as not her usual, also been telling me my drink before i get to say to her. Tried a bit of chat with her today and didnt fall on my face so thought of just going for it tomorow. Any tips? Also think the signs iv noticed are even signs? Im a bit rusty at this malarky.

No idea what her exact age is or how this would help but she is around my age. Mid 20s and shes behind a counter so as far as her gait goes she doesnt lurch around lol she seems like a decent person not wild or in anyway a ned or chav for you guys down south. Just one of those nice girls who also happens to be attractive.

lol i always favour the indirect approach, so i would advice dont be direct with some cliche like "fancy goin out this wknd" lol ur in ur mid 20s dammit! i would start to talk about films ive seen recently and she might just happen to have seen a few herself and thereon starts a good convo.. and this doesnt have to be movies, she could have other interests and whatnots.. a good convo between a potential couple mostly if not always starts with mutual interests and the rest just flows

Was gonna ask if she got the long weekend too and if she fancied it going out for a drink thursday night. Im not really a clubby person. Id prefer a nice bar with a bottle of wine so i can talk and not make a fool of myself, not right away anyway, need to make the girl laugh at some point tho Smile With this weather its either night in with a movie, pub or cinema. Night in is no go as thats like at least a 3rd or 4th time thing, cinema you cant really just do that as no time to chat much but could tie that in with pub before or after or both. Hows that?

Dude you're way over analyzing. its not a military bombing run you have to plan out. Friendly fire could happen , but only if its the blind guy pulling the trigger.

Just chat, see how it goes, if you feel she's starting to warm up to you, spin an idea of doing something or going somewhere. Some of the best made plans fail so play it by ear. if she isn't interested in chatting to you and answers blunt with no emotion, switch to defcon 4 and dive. Otherwise, Let it flow man. You'll know when to ask.

I think you are perceiving innocent things to to be "signs" tbh. Although her smiling at you is a good thing, I expect she smiles at lots of people she serves whilst she is there. Remembering your drink is not really a "sign" either, working in sales you get to know regular customers habits very quickly so don't read too much into that. The best thing to do is what has already been suggested, strike up some banter. Give her a compliment, don't be shy, she will like it, and make a conversation from there. You really need to start talking to her to gauge a bit more response and then ask her out. A good one is definitely to ask her about the coming bank holiday weekend, she might tell you she is going away with her boyfriend, but at least you would know she is not single then lol. Just try your luck Smile
