Another question for the ladies.

[RoadtoRecovery]

Hello Ladies,

 

Today I went into Walgreens to talk to the pharmacist about some allergy medication. No big deal. The pharmacist walks out from behind the counter and WOW she is smoking hot (with no ring I might add).

 

She smiled at me and answered my question and there seemed to be some chemistry but I'm not quite sure.

 

I am a pretty confident guy and I have begun to move on past my recent divorce. This girl was the first that has caught my eye since everything has been said and done.

 

Anyway, I wanted to just go in and ask her out. No games, no catchy lines, just walk in, smile and ask her straight up. "Hi." "I know this sounds strange and I am not usually this forward, but would you like to go out sometime?" Do you think that she will think I am strange for doing it in this manner? Is this inappropriate at work?

 

I really don't have any other way to talk to her so I just wanted to man-up and ask her directly. From a woman's point of view, would this freak you out?

 

I've been out of the dating game for a while so I feel a little rusty when it comes to meeting women.

 

Thanks for your replies!

I would say no.. even if he was hot!

 

I had a guy do that to me on the street once. I was walking down the street to work, and this guy walking next to me started talking. After we had a conversation that lasted about 31.6 seconds, he said, "so, do you want to go in here for a coffee?"

 

uh.. no thanks!

 

so yeah, I would not ask her out, especially if there are other people in line at the Pharmacy and at work.

 

if a guy did what you suggested, i would wonder why he did that? i just don't have any chemistry with someone after talking to them for 3 min about my prescription!

 

Maybe look her up in the phone book and call her, drive past her house or sing love songs beneath her window at midnight or something!

[darkpumpkin]

I would go with something straightforward but not so heavy. Maybe ask if you could go for a drink/coffee/muffin/bite to eat.

 

For me to have someone ask me out who it was my job to assist would be flattering but a tad to forward, besides she could be married or seeing someone and it could be very uncomfortable for her and you.

 

My opinion, GOOD LUCK!

[barbielovesmac]

Hmm, well you might want to find out if she has a boyfriend first. Just because there is no ring, certainly doesn't mean there is no attatchment.

 

I had a guy once come up to me while I was at work and this is exactly how the conversation went:

 

I am at my desk and he comes right on up . . .

 

"Hey your cute, I was hoping I could get your number."

 

I looked at the guy like are you serious? Then all I said to him was that I had a boyfriend. Even if I didn't really have a boyfriend I still would've turned him down. His approach was all wrong.

 

Not saying your situation is exactly the same . . . but full on asking without question isn't always the best idea. Some women may find it flattering . . . but I don't.

[Entomon]

No, I don't think she would think it's strange. She may just be flattered. And so go ahead and ask her out. The worst case is she may just say NO. Or you could land a date with her. Either way, you know you tried. And to me, a man trying is better than not trying. It says a lot about his character (given that you don't go creepy all over her)

 

Good luck!

[PixelPusher]

Thats a tough one. I'd try to go in a bit more often and find SOME way of conversing with her. Have allergies? Ask her about some over the counter allergy meds or something. If *I* were a woman, I would really take to an almost complete-stranger flat out asking me to go out. I'd like to know him a *bit* better.

[shikashika]

yeah but who goes and asks someone out before even getting to know ANYTHING about them. Aside from her being hot and workign in a pharmacy, what do you know about her?

 

maybe she is divorced with 6 kids?

[Entomon]

Hahaha - that's why you ask someone out to find out if they are divorced with 6 kids.

[shikashika]

I don't know...I prefer to know a little bit about them before i ask them out.. or go out with them... i guess if they turn out to be a weirdo, you have some good stories to tell your friends!!

[darkpumpkin]

The more I think about maybe you should just do it. What do you have to lose? You go up and ask her and if nothing else makes her day, flatters her and you know that you can do it.

[SinfullySweet]

If I'm single and a guy I'm attracted to and feel some chemistry with asks for my number - I'll usually give it to him. It doesn't mean that I'll go out with him or that anything will become of it, but sometimes there just isn't enough time to chat when you meet. Why bother wondering about it later? I appreciate a forward guy and there is plenty of time to get to know the person on the phone or over coffee before you even start going to dinner.

 

Every girl is different, but I'm not mushy. If you did as shika suggested I'd be freaked out. The next time you go in for a perscription I would ask her if she's seeing anyone. If she's single ask for her number and tell her you'd like to buy her coffee sometime.

Extremely hot woman, friendly, no ring? This woman gets hit on regularily. You need a unique approach. Not that I have one mind you, I'm just saying that you need one.

Not if she works in a pharmacy. All she gets to see are old people picking up their heart meds or Viagra; or women picking up their BC pills.

 

Take a chance-all that is needed is friendliness and a genuine vibe.

Hmmmm, this is a good point. (Clem starts taking notes, looks on map, Austin too far away)

Hoss, you are hilarious!! he he.

 

But ya, give it a shot, ask her out, what have you got to loose. But keep it low key, like coffee or something.

[hosswhispra]

Yeah, getting asked out on a date by someone is way more exciting than being asked: "Excuse me miss, what aisle are the Depends undergarments in?"

[rose2summer]

Oh, my, just fell off my bed laughing. HILARIOUS!

 

See op, this is why you need to ask her out!!

[hosswhispra]

Yes, that could be his opener...

 

When he has her cracking up laughing at his jokes- she'll be the one that needs the Depends.

[Entomon]

Hoss, you crack me up girl! How are you?

 

And HI Roses! How's the beautiful place you are at?

[RoadtoRecovery]

Ha! Asking what isle the depends are on could be the deal breaker! That is freaking hilarious!

 

Anyway back to business. Just so you all know, I'm not the stalker type. Definitely not weird or creepy. Just a guy who thought that a woman would appreciate a man that is confident and goes after what he wants.

 

I see your point in that maybe asking her "out" might be too heavy and something more low key such as coffee would be better. The problem is where she works there's not much to break the ice with other than medicinals.

 

I have thought of another approach. I wanted to type a fake prescription and approach her to have her fill it. When she goes into the back and reads it, it will say "Hi. My name is Rob. This is a prescription but not of the ordinary sort. It is a prescription for friendship. If you choose to fill it you can e-mail me at ........ and maybe we could go for coffee sometime afterward."

 

I know kind of cheesy, but I thought that it wouldn't put her on the spot by me directly asking her and she may think that it is original. What do you think?

 

Thanks for all the help Ladies (and one gent).

[Clementine orange]

^^^^^^I think that's brilliant - it's bold, it's funny, it's "take charge". Way better than asking for where they keep the depends (which was hilarious and I wish I'd thought of that funnyism)

[Veroni]

I would be impressed with your forthrightedness if you had the guts to approach me and ask me out without any cheesy lines. Honesty is sexy. If she says no then walk away proud that you didnt let fear stop you.....and if she says yes..."You Da Man!" hehe!

[rose2summer]

Very cute! I like the idea a lot, you need to let us know how it goes.

[ghost69]

personally, i would have tried for more small talk when i was in there the first time. 'so you get stuck behind the counter all day huh? is it at least fun?' let her babble a bit. 'so do pharmacists lead an exciting life? like i bet you are a super hero or something.' make it fun and flirty. then ask what she does in her spare time. she knows your interest at this point. if her answers are pretty short and it seems like she wants to just answer and get it over with, i wouldn't ask for anything more. i really wouldn't go back in just to try and get her number or something. i'd say you already lost your opportunity unless you have to go back in there again.

[hosswhispra]

'so do pharmacists lead an exciting life?

 

 

Yes they do--they're legal drug dealers. Yep, they're outright gangstas
