If she has a tattoo anywhere, tell her 'Nice tat. What's it mean?' Learn to wisecrack. Build huge muscles, and wear tighter shirts

If she is a cashier, and she's pretty hot, she gets hit on 1,000 times a day. You could try hitting on her anyway, but I usually just let it go. If you frequent a location often (like a coffee shop), you could try to build conversation towards asking her out, but again, she gets it all the time. Stick with girls you work with, or go to school with.

maybe cashiers dont get asked out often because guys always think they get hit on 1000 times a day--lol
you can buy something and then say, "hi, my name is..."
"would you like to go have a coffee during your break?"
"no? well maybe some other time". then just walk away. then if you like her, try again on another day...persistence may get her to notice you and finally go to get some coffee--but dont stalk her. if by the 2nd or 3rd time she still says no, then just leave it at that.

Most good looking girls don't get hit on unless it is by players. Players do not seek serious relationships they just want to penetrate her and leave. So if you are something different then do it. Regardless, if she rejects you at least you will be able to say you tried. Ya know?

When I was single, when a guy was funny and was hitting on me, he got more attention from me than if a guy was just being lame and hitting on me, I like creativity and I think a lot of women appreciate that. Also, a simple hello works well too sometimes!

I remember I was riding shotgun in the car with a friend. We used to go through this drive-in of this one Dunkin' Donuts several times a week, and there was always this one very friendly, if a bit older, woman who worked the drive-thru. We were commenting that she was cute and personable, and so forth. Then we pulled up to the drive-thru and he placed his order... a coffee for him, a coffee for me... woman asks if we'd like anything else, and before I know it he's blurting out "yeah! A date!" It certainly broke the ice and, had she been unattached, I think it might have worked! Mind you, we were familiar faces (and voices) and had chatted this one up previously, so it's not like this was the first time he had spoken to her.

Cashiers are easy. Make a generalized comment thats funny. Comment on something you see happening near by. Then you can judge by if she returns a comment, laughs, or just glares at you. If you get a positive reaction, you can return another day and try to have a short conversation while checking out. If you get positive conversation, do that a couple more times. By now she recognizes you. Observe how she interacts with other guy customers. If she shows the slightest bit more happiness to see you than the others your probly good to go. When asking for the # just say " listen, you should let me have your # so we can talk some more" Your not asking for a date, but simply to talk.(harmless sounding) Much more likely to get the digits that way.

Other customers on the other hand little more difficult. There usually a one shot deal.
Get near to them and comment on something around you. Ask a question about something she's interested in. Something in general and harmless so you can try to read her disposition, and demeanor. Usually, if a girl is interested she'll respond, and then be hard to shut her up. Or awkward silences. If a conversation is started then you can throw the line out. "listen, ............"(same as above)

But asking for a date right off the bat is assuming too much. The common responce you'll get is " I'm taken", or I don't know you well enough to go on a date. Then when you try to say, "we can get to know each other" its either too late and she'll give you another excuse, or you might get lucky and still get the #.

Sounds to me like Finding says this from personal experience

You just walk right up and say:

"Hi. I'm a creepy guy with poor social skills, but I love women with low paying jobs. If you have any tattoos I would like to see them then we can drink coffee and become neighbors."

Then go home and try Internet Dating.
