Yeah, see, my girlfriend just right out told me. But we're both AuADHD. So you know, things happen impulsively and directly.
I asked her on a date, she said yes. We get to the date we have fun, we have a long night out, she goes home and texts me "I like you."
Yep. Which is a good thing too because I liked her and was a lot nervous about that.
God damn that's the dream. This chick at the store smiles at me a lot and giggles when I'm nearby. I like hearing her laugh and seeing her smile and don't want things to get awkward, so I'm not saying anything :/
just ask her out.
she will say yes or no. anything that isn't 'yes!' is a no.
The problem with doing something like that is it can make the situation awkward permanently afterwards
it's already permanently awkward
Just give her your phone number.
Be direct with "Hey, I noticed that you smile a lot at me and giggle when I am around. If you want to talk outside of the store. Can I give you my phone number?"
If she's an employee and your a customer, don't ask her for her phone number or out when she's working. She will feel trapped and pressured to say yes. However. by giving her your number she gets to decide if they moves forward or not. If you are co-workers, same advice. Don't ask her out or her number. Give her your number, let her decide to move forward or not.
Also respect any boundaries she has.
Aw yeah. There was this beauty at the store that, in hindsight, obviously gave me the eye, repeatedly. I wanted to ask her to a coffee the next time, but then she already wasn't around anymore. Don't be too late.
