Need advice

Ok, first let me describe myself. I'm 17, pretty tall compared to most people locally, about 6 foot or maybe a little taller, I weight about 150-160, average body build, not fat but not skinny, I consider myself about average in the looks department, I've got some zits, but not too much for someone my age, and it's slowly progesssing in going away.

 

Now, the situation, about a year ago, I looked horrible compared to what I am now, I was short, fat, and had acne. Being in the situation I was in, I didn't really stand a chance with too many good looking girls. Then, out of nowhere the girl down the street goes from average, too young fo me girl, to pretty hot, with smoking hot coming up. That motivated me to work out daily, drop the weight, I'm taking medicine for the zits, and I had grown a lot over the year.

 

So, there are two video rental stores around me, one with just movies, and one with movies and games. I usually don't rent games anymore, for the lack of money, but my little brother wanted to rent a game, so I took him to the video store with games and movies. I usually go there about twice or three times a month, with nothing unusual. This time, I go in, it's cold outside, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee. This girl that works there, I would rate a 7 maybe 8 out of 10 in the national scale, but there sure are a lot of ugly people here in my town, she looks good, thin, good build, you can tell she previously had acne, but it seems to be cleared up. Anyway, she starts a conversation with me about coffee, what kind I'm drinking, what kind of coffee she likes. I've been there more than a few times, but never talked to her other than tell her my phone number for the ID. This is the first time she's ever talked to me other than for ID, and I'm not sure how old she is, but I'm pretty sure that if she knew I was 17, she wouldn't be interested. So, do you all think I stand a chance? I'm going back tomorrow to take back the game, so any advice would be helpful too.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

 

Maybe she was just interested in the topic of coffee. This may not be true, but this is how you have to approach it the next time you go in there. Being too forward might frighten her off, but being distant and unnoticing will ruin your chances of talking with a pretty cool gal.

 

Your best bet is to go in there and strike up a conversation about something else that just "comes up." What that topic is? Well, wait to see if she tries to start another conversation. This is where she has to make the move. She may have just been a good worker by being friendly with the customers. That's how the business world works. However, if she seems genuinely interested in various topics you discuss... well, maybe you should offer to take her out for a cup of coffee. Hell, that could be a great way to test the waters: "Hey, last time I was in here and I thought of a great place that has good coffee if you ever wanna check it out..."

I've been there more than a few times, and she's worked there for about or over 6 months, with no conversation other than the usual phone number request and enter your passcode for video rental.

 

I'm trying to think of something to talk about, because I'm going to take the game back today. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Before recently, I wasn't the kind of guy a girl would want to date, and now that I'm in shape, I'm trying to build up to what I should be. I'm usually a shy person, I've always been, but I'm trying to drop that habit fast, or at least make it unnoticeable with normal conversation for now, so any help on that would be appreciated too.

Yeah you never know. One time I went into a sunglass place and the woman who was working there (she was probably a little older than me) started asking me questions. She was having a situation with her family and just wanted to hear my opinion about the situation. I didn't mind giving out my opinion so I just decided what the heck why not. I just told her what I thought and then after I talked to her for a little bit she told me that I have given her good insight on the situation. Then she wanted me to try on certain sunglasses and stuff (I was going to do so anyway so I didn't refuse her offer to help). She seemed like she liked me but I knew that first of all she seems a little too old and plus she was the only one in the store at that time so she must've been pretty bored and just wanted to have someone to talk to for a little while.

 

I'm not saying that this is the case in your situation. You never know. But there's always the possiblity that they were just really bored and needed someone to talk to for a little bit. Trust me, I know what it's like working at a store and then having no customers for a long time. LOL it gets reeeeeal boring quick.

I was talking to one of my friend's about her today, and he said she used to date his neighbor, who I think I look better than. That jumped up my hopes a little bit. If she is working today, I'm going to try to start a conversation or at least leave an impression. I'll post on here her response after I get back.

Well, a huge storm came in yesterday, so I didn't get to take the game back, so I'm going to take it back as soon as I pick up my little brother off the bus. I'm not really sure what to do, but I guess I'll just wing it. If anyone is interested in knowing what happens leave a message in the thread, otherwise don't, because I haven't really got too much advice here.

Well crap, you're the one of the two who even offered any advice, I figured that there would be more, but I guess I was overestimating the responses. I would like to thank the guys who offered me advice though.

 

Anyway, I just came back from the store, and when I was there she was busy, and the manager rushed up on me , so there wasn't really any chance for me to talk to her.

 

I'm kinda depressed, but not enough to show it on the outside, and I guess I'll try to go again in a couple of days. I didn't even get to talk to her today.

 

 

If there are any females that would give me the female perspective of what I should do, that would be great.
