Ok since I can't get involved with anyone at work (because everyone will know about it by the second date lol) , and the whole online dating this is crap because of the liars I have met. Anyways I've seen some pretty intresting/cute female employees lately at Best Buy, CC, CompUSA, EB/GS, Microcenter (yea all computer places lol) and have been thinking of going up and trying my luck...

Has anyone actually had the balls to actually make friends with a store employee and then ask them out? and if so which is the best store to do it?

EB/GS seems to be easier as there seems to be an easier chance to get to know them and ask them out since there are very few people coming in and out of the store..but you never know whos in the backroom :| How are these EB/GS girls? Pretty cool, or all they do is talk about videos games 24/7?
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Dont ask "Do you come here often". They'll either think it's cheesey or sexual harrasment.[/QUOTE]

lol..ok..
 
Say this to the people at computer stores.

"I have a huge harddrive when I think of you."

If she doesn't take it as sexual harrassment then your golden.
 
Don't bother trying to "make friends", you'll just look like a stalker if you keep going to the same store and talking to them. Tell them they're cute and ask them if they wanna go out sometime, if they say no then oh well you probably won't see them again anyway.

If it's an EB/GS worker, tell them you'll bring in some trade ins if they go out with you, that's what they want more than anything.
 
can you actually talk to them about other stuff? Remember you are buying stuff from them and some of them do get rewarded for having you buy stuff from them. and if you are thinking of asking out a waitress/bartender/stripper dont bother its called being nice for tips. Lets not forget the episode of saved by the bell where screech falls for the waitress, only to get his heart broken.

Shit, you preorder a game or buy a warranty from one of them, and you're golden.

Actually, my best friend has had a few near dates with a couple of waitresses. He didn't go on them because hes a pussy. Of course, it seems the median age of his "girlfiends" (yes, I typed it that way on purpose) is 18, and hes 23. I swear, he needs to date a woman thats at least 3 years older than him and would treat him right, as hes a sucker for punishment
 
BB they are usually busy stocking shit or running the cashier post
CC-I see them standing around looking bored to death.
Microcenter-Cashier post/Customer Service
Compusa-Customer Service
EB/GS-Behind the counter just standing there.

Doesn't look like its a good idea to start something with a cashier because its an in and out type of thing and you know Loss Prevention is watching.

Customer Service.. dunno..as someone who use to work CS at target and dated someone for nearly 4 years that was in that position, I know how fustrated they can get.
 
I swear, I'm thinking of running up to Wally World and getting some whiskey sour mix. Have had an aggrivating and very piss poor day. You'll see why a few pages back...

get out of the computer stores man. just because it is your hobby, doesnt mean they love this shit as much as you. im afraid if you succeed, all you will talk about is mario and freak them out.

be direct, dont say, "hey, lets hang..." or "so, what final fantasy can i make com true for you...?" if you are upfront, you have a better chance, like "wanna grab a drink?" or "are you single?" both direct, simple ways to get your point accross.

upscale bars work on a saturday night, lots of girls in groups getting wasted, and if you play cool and know the 80's songs they get in a group and sing, odds someone in that group is trying to set up a single female.

If not, try this.....

Have something short and non threatening planned, don't use pickup lines, and don't what i did in my little experience below.

This girl was very friendly at an fye, i bought something on a friday night and we ended up talking for a few minutes and hit it off really great. I thought nothing of it until the next day when i went back to the same store so my friend could get something there, I saw her again and went over and talked for a minute until my friend came back, she never even acknowledged him even though she was very nice and kept talking to me. I left again and by the time we got to the car i decided to ask her out. Remember what i wrote above, have a friggin plan. I go back in, she's there by herself btw, I go up to her, say "Um...I was wondering (long pause) then I put my head down on the counter right in front of her for about 5 seconds and then resumed with would you like to go out sometime, in my shakiest voice ever, and I could see the fear in her eyes, she said she had a bf and i staggered out of there, not i ask girls out all the time and get rejected 99% of the time but man haven't stepped foot since, and that was about 3 years ago.

Just a little advice.
 
I'd say stop trying to get with girls that work at stores you go to...try going out or go to parties and meet girls. Blantently asking a girl out at her job can be pretty embarassing for both parties, not only that but how much could you actually know about this girl?

You can't just be like, "Sup baby lemme get dem digits."

Unless you're Frank West or something, that man is straight Casanova.
 
It's not as hard to ask girls out as most guys seem to think it is. You can start a convo with a girl pretty much in any setting so long as you know what you're doing.

Last year a friend and I were out driving and we got lost, so we went inside a Barnes & Noble to get directions. There was this cute asian girl behind the customer service counter, and my friend proceeded to ask her about directions. At one point in the exchange she made a mistake in her driections, and my friend took advantage of it and busted on her, and followed up by jokingly saying "well if we get lost again I'm gonna personally hold you responsible", and got a laugh of her for it. He even got her to write her e-mail and number underneath the directions she wrote out for her. Quick and simple.

So long as you take advantage of the situation, you can get plenty of digits this way.

P.S. The important thingis to just get the info you need and leave. DON'T hang around her and DON'T tell her you're interested in her. You gotta leave room for mystery and wonder.

Just like with any girl, first impressions are the key. If your asking a female employee which videogames are cheapest, then she's not gonna have a very positive first impression on you.
I wouldn't make too much visits to where she works. You dont wanna freak her out. I never worked at a store like that, but I used to work at a female clothing store in the mall, and boys would walk through the store just to stare at all the girls. We had to call security several times a week.
Plus, if you know where she works, she cant hide from you. A lot of my friends talk about not dating guys that come into their work for that exact reason.
As for EB/GS, its hard to judge ALL girls based on the place they work at, since they are all completely different people. I know one lady who works at a GS who is a complete sex freak (she's not that pretty, guys) and another girl who works at an EB that has a b/f, and doesn't play videogames all that much.
My advice, get cool with a male employee there and get on his good side. After a few weeks, mention something like "Hey, that girl's pretty" or something. Then try to get more info out of him. Dont get too comfortable with him though, cuz there's a good chance he might tell her. That's not necessarily a bad thing though, depending on how the girl is.
 
It wouldn't hurt to get her name and make small talk with her, but don't frequent the store. That'd be creepy.

Once the introductions are done, asking her out wouldn't be too much of a problem. Just ask if she has any plans on the day you want to take her out. She'll get the hint.

Unless you're in your mid-forties.

You should just ask "So, baby, are you the cheapest game here?"

And then casually laugh as if you had any skills with the women to begin with.
 
DON'T!

God damn, I hate the stupid fucks that come on to me when working retail. And all of my coworkers agree with me.

heh, when guys ask this one girl for her number, she gives them the store's phone number! Then later we all laugh our asses off. Too funny.


But anyway, it is a difficult, stressful job. A job which one is forced to act freindly and act like they care about the customer.

Just don't. If you ever meet them outside of work, then you can start up a conversation with them or something, but a working retail employee is off limits.

Jerk.
 
"let me give you some real advice. When the guy comes to your window at the drive through give him his burger not your numbeR"

i though that was funny...

anyways why are you trying to pick up chicks in computer stores?

is it that hard to go out at night... go to a club, go to a bar, try your luck at the girls and be yourself?

if so better start racking up points on match.com

i agree with the QuackZilla ive worked at places where you have to act all cheery... it doesnt mean i like you. or want you to talk to me...
 
So, ITDFX, or whatever, do you see now? Retail employees are big bitches. You should reconsider your desire to see them as humans, rather than the cogs they are.

doh....
 
hey it doesn't have to be "computer" related stores. I mean best buy, CC both sell cds and movies and other shit. Actually the other day I was in the soundtrack section of best buy looking up to see whats new and there was this one cute looking girl looking at the soundtracks on the row behind me..great we have something in common, great to start a conversation......but then her big bad bf came by and they left :|
 
Best of luck to you.

My advice is to ignore 6669's advice. Most guys working at retail stores are gonna be protective of coworkers especially if they are cute. Guys generally are NOT gonna vouch for you unless they know you well especially if they have to face the consequences of a chick at work ruining their lives because they gave a bad recommendation. Lastly, it might be just me but I rarely go up to guys at stores and say that girl you work with is pretty.

She (6669) was right on the fact that most girls generally don't want to date people they meet at work because its hard to hide if things go sour. If you are gonna try this I suggest making small talk, be flirty throw it out there, and then leave. There is no harm in trying but be as casual about it as possible. Always remember the one useful thing I learned from 4 physcology classes, people like people who like them.
 
alright so if i cant convince you not to do it..

walk in ther like you own the place (be confident. but not cocky) and just casusally start small talk and tell her she seems cool and if shed want to hang out later

The whole "hey want to go on a date" is a giant red flag

i agree with lobster johnson... not many girls want to adte guys who ask.. they want to date guys they meet, and end up liking

I disagree. I've had guys who were 'regulars' at a store I worked at who I would've liked to ask me out (Not on a date, seeing as I'm engaged, but I've got no local friends and would've enjoyed making friends with a few regulars-- If I wasn't engaged, I might've been interested though), but I've had a guy or two come in and suddenly tell me I'm hot and tell me I should 'let them take me out' and I was seriously creeped out (It's not that they were bad looking or anything, but I am not comfortable with someone who I've never even seen before coming onto me so strongly) and made an excuse for myself to go to the back room to escape them. Every time I saw the guy coming toward the store (which was rare, really, he was far from a regular), I would run and hide in the back until he was gone.

Maybe I'm just weird like that, though.

But I also agree that there's a fine line between making casual small talk on most occasions, and stalking a worker, so try to be aware of it, because they certainly will be.
 
Pharmacy clerks are so cute :) I think i better get another refill so I can check out this cute asian girl from this afternoon lol.
 
if you have your confidence about you and she's smiling and looking you in the eye, just ask her out. this goes for any time, any place, unless she's obviously with her man ;-)


this isn't freaking brain surgery...no need for elaborate plans, balancing of situations, warming up to her etc. etc.

if you haven't already become friends with her "naturally" with no pretense of wanting to ask her out, the best plan is to be direct and confident. anything in between will come off strange.
