A month ago I purchased a new phone and had good conversation with the girl who sold me the phone. I ended up captivated by her. We both have uncommon first names and she was amazed when I knew the origin of hers. That is what got the ball rolling. We talked for awhile and I thought there may have been a connection.

I've been back in the store for various reasons, most of them, though, just to get back there to chat with her. I would just come out and ask her out but she's never alone. There's no way I could go about it without doing it in front of customers or her co-workers. I'd be putting her on the spot and possibly embarassment for myself.

Once I went in near closing and mentioned I was heading to the Starbucks next door hoping she'd show but she didn't. Not interested, busy or didn't catch my message, I don't know.

I can't keep going back for b.s. reasons. Someone is bound to catch on and I don't want to come across as the stalker or annoying customer type.

Any advice on how to approach this?

Ask her for her business card. Say you have trouble with the phone. Then call her. Also maybe ask her co-worker if she "is" single.

The business card angle is good but I'm not sure if she has one. The co-worker thing won't work unless the girl isn't there. It's a T-Mobile shop so it's very small and someone is always around. She must work a lot because she's always there when I go. Thanks for the tips, though.

I agree. Go in before closing, suck it up and ask her if she'd like to join you at starbucks - you could even write an invitation I guess. She'll either say yes or no but be prepared that it is easy to misread the interest of someone who is trying to be friendly in order to sell you something.

Are you the same guy who wanted to know how to ask shopgirl out LOL
I say this because there is another thread on here pretty close to yours.

Anyways ,if as you say she is NEVER alone how about giving her a little note with your phone # on it/email address. That way nobody around her knows what its about and that leaves the ball in her court. If she doesn't contact you then assume she is not interested.
Please keep us updated. Especially if you follow my advice. I'd love to know how it turns out.

be bold. ask her out when others are around. The only thing she can do is say no and at worse humliate you. But c'mon man, don't let the opportunity for her to say yes pass you by.

Next time you mention going to Starbucks, ask her if she'd like you to bring something back for her.

I don't agree. It makes the OP come off as sneaky. And it means that you're using a professional reason to get into her personal life.

I always found that the direct approach was always best. Don't treat her like some goddess. Simply stroll in and ask her for coffee. Simply say, "I really enjoyed our conversation from a few weeks back. I know this is unconventional, but I was wondering if I can buy you a cup of coffee and talk some more."
