    I was hoping for a quick resolution that validated my very solid advice to the OP so I'm still disappointed, Philly.

    I think we all are. :P

    I once got chatted up/asked out waiting in line at the Boots' Pharmacy counter - my sister, who works as a pharmacy technician said later never accept a date with a guy who asks you out at the pharmacy counter. She had a point, but still if he had been good looking and stuff, I probably would have said "yes" - but he wasn't so total creep!!

    Moral of the story: Unless you're **** hot, don't do what Yassir would have done :)

    Do what one of my mates does. He says i want to lick the dingle berries from your arse. Its got him a few dirty looks, a few laughs but worked once and he ended up shagging that one a few times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭mackeire


    Why don't you make a recording on a tape of what you want to say to her.
    Then go over and stand beside her and take her earphones and plug them into you Walkman and that way you can ask her out without everyone hearing.

    Hope he doesn't say that on the Looey, he may find the Garda getting on at Hueston. :D:D

    A walkman! Anyone seen with a walkman in this day and age would get a community beating

    I tried out the spontaneous approach once and it worked. I had seen a very attractive girl who lived about a mile away, on the route to a shop I used frequently. I'd seen her a few times as she walked her dog at the same time every day and had also seen her in the shop. By chance, I was walking along her road and was near the last turn for home when she walked right past with her dog, much earlier than her usual time. I had been thinking about her, walking along, head down and there she was. I was so surprised to see the object of my thoughts in front of me, that my jaw dropped open and I just stared at her. She looked at me like I was an idiot and walked on. So, I was standing there, going will I, won't I? A million times until I seized the courage and walked after her and I called after her and said, "Have you a sec? I saw you the last few days, walking your dog and I was wondering..." Now she looked at me like I was a hatchet man and she actually balled her non-doglead fist but....if I could ask you out". She said, "walk with me and we'll see", so we walked the dog's legs off for another 45 minutes or so and we got on very well indeed and we went out to dinner that evening. It lasted for six months, in the end and it was great fun while it lasted. So, go ahead and give it a shot!

    I have been asked out by randomers quite a few times over the years and it always made my day.

    ...................did they ever make your hole weak whole week ? :pac:

    OP don't just baldly ask her out, it'll be stressful for you and her if she isn't into you or is shy/socially awkward.

    I think you should try the more tried and tested normal approach and strike up a conversation. If she's wearing earphones you'll have to be cleverer, tap her on the shoulder and say "sorry did you drop this" and produce a pen/ticket/receipt. Then ask what she's listening to and go from there.

    If she avoids you next day she's probably not into you. If she's not actively avoiding you then ask her if she wants to go for a coffee or something casual. So what if everyone hears, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Anyone overhearing a no will just think fair play to you for trying.

    Epic! Going to trial this :-).

    See the coffee voucher with your number on it could go wrong. Knowing the type of idiot I am, I would be delighted if someone gave me the voucher and be all smiles but not realising their number is on it and I'd spend it without a second thought. I'd probably even notice the number but just assume you had taken a message or something on it. There's been a few times over the years where friends have told me afterwards that someone was trying to chat me up and it all made perfect sense in hindsight but at the time i was a dope not realising- some people need something more obvious! So if you do that idea maybe write something more than just your name- in case she's an idiot like me.

    I am in that club. Wouldn't see the signs.  I use to live across the road from a Centra shop, anyway I went in there every day to get something when I got of the bus. This girl would serve me and I would think nothing of it, said hello and how are ya? and was generally nice and polite. To cut a long story short valentines day comes and a card is posted through the door with an email address on it. Hadn't a clue who it was from, anyway first thing I did was send an email to the address, turned out to be the girl in the shop.  Was delighted. :)

    There will be in the morning if she is on the Luas Candie, I really want this to happen. Stay tuned..

    Based on advice here, I'm going to hand her the note and not say anything. Avoid akwardness for her her and me.

    Peace and long life.

    Maybe she's a Luas driver and won't open the note until she finishes her shift because it's a job you cannot be distracted from.

    Jesus if I was to hand out notes to every girl on the dart I wanted to f*ck forestry would suffer. 7 years younger than you and you're handing her a note, I'll be very surprised if she's anything but uncomfortable with the situation.

    Come on OP, you cant be leaving us in suspense.
    Maybe they just both skipped work and went back to his place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    Disaster, maybe she wasted on the Luas today coz she's out on strike!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 21 IrishBelle


    Personally, id start with 'Hi' and a smile. Even if she is wearing earphones, you are going to be able to gauge a lot from her response. A note is just forcing a yes or no. I dont think thats fair on her, and it is much less likely to get a positive response

    I got same bus home most days and guy would stare at me. One day he wrote his number on paper and dropped into my shopping bag. I was carrying flowers as it was my birthday. So he asked on note were they from someone special.

    We ended up texting and had a few dates...didnt go anywhere but did give me a little glow!

    What's that old saying...in spring a young man's fancy turns to love?

    Has the world really come to this place where somebody showing an interest in another person, wanting to ask them out, is now creepy?

    It's a sad state of affairs that some of your posts are so disconnected and cynical.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 17,760 Mod ✭✭✭✭Henry Ford III


    I'd suggest a different approach. Get off the Luas at the same stop as her, and just talk to her on the platform.

    If she doesn't remove her headphones and/or calls for security it's probably a negative however.

    How many times do we have to tell ladies, "Don't accept drinks off strangers".
