Yet another dating question

[Target Practice]

Or some faith based abstinence pledges?

//sorry

You're right.

You're right.

The only problem with the faith based absinence is it is a known fact that every teenager goes through a rebellious stage. for a majority of them that rebellious stage will include sex. Sure tell them that it is best to abstain, but also have them prepared just incase it does happen.. All to often "good little chirsitain girls" play with fire and get burnt on thier first try around....

Id like to clear something up first. We have spoken more than just the usual "friendly greetings" and I am smart enough to have gotten her name off her name tag. That being said this whole thread is now moot for this situation. I was walking around at the fair and I saw her with someone who was obviously her boyfriend. I guess I avoided an awkward situation. But thanks for the advice.

Well I wouldn't go with a formal date per say.

Find out when she gets off. At about that time start browsing stuff. Exit the store around the time she does. Casually start a conversation and then maybe suggest ya'll get a quick bite to eat.

Or you could inviting her to a group get together. That way there's no real pressure since its a group thing.

When you first telephone a lady, a great opener would be, "Are you alone?"

I didn't read the whole thread, but I have some thoughts since I met the love of my life working in a convenience store (c:

First off, you have to realize that pretty girls in stores get hit on ALL THE TIME. Sure, they're nice to you but inside a lot of times they're thinking "damn guys always want just one thing". So, if you just ask her out like that you'll be one in a hundred and her first knee jerk reaction will be "jesh, not again".

Just be subtle. Don't be a dork and go "would you like to go to the movies?". Lame. Talk to her a bit, get to know her, what her interests are. I'm not talking about long conversations here, but more like "did you hear about that new exhibit at the museum?" type stuff. Look for oppertunities to get to talk to her outside of her work. If the conversation turns to computers and she says she always gets pop ups, tell her about spyware, and give her your IM screen name or e-mail so you can send her a link to download adaware. You get the idea.

Get sex out of your mind when you talk to her. Girls pick up on that. When I met that girl at the store, she looked 16 so even though she's a hottie I wasn't thinking about sex. I really don't have any interest in dating a 16 year old anymore ... however, by the time I found out she was 27 we were already friends and talking on-line and I saw her every day before work at the store. I got to know her because her uncle needed help with something and I gave her my hotmail e-mail to give to him. She thought that was really nice of me, and she came on instant messenger to thank me and the rest is history.

Let me put it another way. If it was a guy working there, and you thought he was cool and you wanted to hang out sometime you probably would do it without even thinking about it huh? You'ld just be like "hey you like paintball we got a game going this weekend ..." and not think twice. It's almost the same, except once you find out the girl isn't a total fruit bat and will kill you in your sleep or get you thrown in jail *then* you start thinking about how to pick her locks.

All this is probably wrong, but it works for me lol.

Dude, what you think theres a huge amount of good looking girls out there without boyfriends? Youre insane. Till you see a ring on that finger, or the guy is right there with her and he could beat the pulp out of you, shes fair game. You just have to be a lot more persuasive, and hope to catch her after hes done something stupid to piss her off.
