iceknite Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 So I've gone into this pharmacy 3-4 times now and noticed this cute girl working behind the pharmaceutical counter. The time before last that I was in there we had eye contact and she kinda smiled. Last time I was in she was already looking at me when I saw her and she was definitely smiling as if she was interested, I then looked away for a second and looked back and she was still looking over and smiling. Definite interest IMO. Now actually asking her out is the tricky part. There's always 5-6 people working around her behind the counter in a pretty small space and I haven't seen her actually helping a customer at the counter, she's usually in the back sorting pills or something. I don't want to be that creep hanging outside her work waiting til she's off work, but I'm not sure how to ask her out while she's working if that's possible. I wonder if just slipping her my number is acceptable or if there's a way to talk to her for a minute.

Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Most businesses have rules about not dating clients. You are a client. Even if she's interested she may have to say no No... Pretty sure this wouldn't apply at a Pharmacy. It's likely she's just a Pharmacy Tech, and there wouldn't be anything wrong with what the OP is suggesting. I would just ask her if she wants to get coffee sometime - you need to make it sound VERY casual almost like you aren't asking her out on a real date - otherwise she might be embarrassed with everyone around. The note thing COULD work I guess, but its a bit of a cop out in a way and she might think you lack confidence.
preraph Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Sure, if you can get close enough to hand her a note with your number, do it. Say "Not sure what your situation is, but would love to take you out. Please call."
Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 You have to make sure that she isn't just being friendly either... Some guys think girls are into them but theyre really just being friendly. I guess the note isn't so bad if you don't want to draw attention to the two of you since so many people are around.
Confusedcarl Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I agree with what preraph said. Get her attention and ask her casually what her situation is and go from there. I think the note screams lack of confidence. You shouldn't be nervous, it's just asking someone on a date, people do it all the time. Nothing to be inbarrassed about.
Author iceknite Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for the input guys, I think what I'll do is walk up, get her attention and discreetly ask if she'd like to go out for coffee sometime and then slip her a note with my number if she says yes(instead of having to fumble for her phone or a pen or whatnot). 1
katiegrl Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Most businesses have rules about not dating clients. You are a client. Even if she's interested she may have to say no No he is not a "client," he is a "customer." Huge difference and it's perfectly okay to date a customer. Although the girl in question may have her own personal rule against dating customers, but you will never know until you ask. Go for it!
lgspot Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Go for it. Nothing wrong with a customer asking out. Might suggest you purchase a dozen extra large condoms as you pass note. lol 1
Glenn123 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I've done this before, crowded place. I simply asked to see a pharmacist and pointed over to her saying that's the one I usually speak to. Then she came over I asked her to come over to an area that was less crowded by simply saying I have a question about taking this medication here with something else in this aisle to make sure it was ok. Once we were alone I asked her out. She said yes and gave me her number. Nervy but ballsy.
Gary S Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Just ask for her number in front of everyone. Dance like everyone is watching and you just don't give a hoot! Think of it... just imagine, if she likes you and you two do become a couple someday, her and her family and friends will all tell the story of how you met, and how gutsy you were. You'll be a hero! Sheesh, you guys act like it's illegal to ask a girl out. Some of you guys need to grow a backbone. Women want a hero.
Els Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It's generally strongly discouraged for pharmacists and pharmacy techs to date their patients/customers. Whether or not it is illegal probably depends on the local laws and what position the person actually holds. If she's just a cashier or saleswoman the line is more blurry. But honestly if you REALLY want to try, you should go with something unobstrusive like smiling and being friendly, and slipping in your number. Explicitly asking a person out when they're working is really awkward and puts huge pressure on them, and you're unlikely to succeed if they're focused on their job.
acrosstheuniverse Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I would hand her a note asking her out and giving your number. If you ask her in person she may be embarrassed to say yes in front of others, or maybe she'll worry about seeming too 'easy', as silly as that sounds. I was asked out by a guy who I served in my job at a bank, but he searched for me on facebook and asked me out that way which was fine. A note with his number on would have worked for me too, but if he'd stood and asked me out in front of all my co workers I'd have been a bit flustered and said no! Most women prefer to get to know someone through a few texts or phone calls before agreeing to go out, I find. I wouldn't accept a date from a total stranger but I would if we swapped numbers and made contact on a few occasions beforehand.
Demonica Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Does she have long brown hair and big beautiful brown eyes?
