I was gonna ask her when the new Frank album is coming out (like I don't already know).
Anyone else have any other ideas?

girls who work in retail are tough (like girls who are bartenders or waitresses) because they always get hit on. you better have something to back that up, after she either says, "september 9th" or, more likely, "who's Frank Black?"..
i would suggest just being honest and forward if you're interested. and if that doesn't work, don't push it. girls don't usually take kindly to stalking (although i suppose some are into it)..
i have a long history of having unrequited crushes on various retail girls (record store employees, video store employees etc..)..

I worked at CompUSA and we had some hot cashiers. There were also plenty of hot female customers.

Maybe you could set yourself up at some place in the store where she is sure to walk by and then let out a "WOOOOOOHOOOOO HOW DO I GET SOME OF THAT!!!!" or park your car in the front of the lot, wait for her to leave the store and then honk at her aggressively.
These things might not work, but, at least you will be on well treaded soil... |

| Sneak up on her and club her with a blunt oblong object, then drag her into the stock room and have your way with her. Or, if you do get to go out on a date with her, slip some special K or some rufies into her drink, and drag her into some out of the way room and have your way with her. Either method you use, keep your priorities straight. |

If there's one thing I learned from my old man......
Go up to her, look her right in the eye and say, "Thelma (or whatever you see on her name tag), I think you're a wonderful lady. And I want you to spank my monkey."
Okay, so I didn't learn it from my old man, but that actually worked for this guy I used to work with. He picked up a customer of all people/things with that one.

OK, this may sounds obvious, but hang around in the store a lot, maybe ask for recommandations or look for the new stuff or ask if she can order stuff for you and then try to start a conversation. I always wish I would add a cool ":oh, and give me your phone number with that" but it never comes to me that smoothly.
BTW, has anyone actually ever SUCCESSFULLY picked a woman like that? |

yeah, ask her if she has any recommendations. That way if she says Christina Aguliera, 50 cent, or Good Charlotte, you might not feel so bad about not being able to get her number.

Deary me Glacial.... it has to boil down to violence.... and I hate violence. The strategic use of Chloroform be a more peaceful method.
This is getting sick.

i don't know about hanging out a lot.. it makes you look stalker-esque. and the more you wait, the more nervous you'll get and then your approach will be that much more difficult. you just have to move in immediately.
but i'm really not the guy to ask either.
bottom line, don't be afraid of rejection. it's the name of the game. you'll feel better about yourself if you at least try and fail, instead of beating yourself up for never having the guts to talk to her.

PLAN A:
go to the digital camera section of the Best Buy, and ask the employees there if you can take a picture to test a camera out. Find the girl and compliment her eyes and hair:
"You have really pretty hair, and your [color] eyes are beautiful. Do you mind if I test out this camera by taking a picture of you? I think your wonderous physique would make for a good picture, and help me decide on a camera to buy."
Then print out the picture and post it here so we can see how hot she is.

The key is to go in KNOWING you're going to fail. Not in a dejected 'I'm a loser' sort of way, but in a way that takes the pressure off. She's going to say know and you don't care. That sort of thing. Then if she says no, all you have to tell yourself is that you knew it and had the guts to anyway. If she says yes, then there are no complaints and she'll be flattered by that look of surprise you're not quite able to hide. And there's much less pressure.
But don't take my advice. It's just a little theory I spun up right now and I've yet to attempt it. No, not true. I did try it once, in a way, except over the phone, and it worked. We were trying out a different gym, myself and some friends, and this girl that worked there was pretty friendly. I was semi-flirty, and she was friendly. That's all. We left and my friends were all saying that there was something going on and we were in out own little world and yada, yada, yada, and I didn't really buy any of it, but they were saying I should do something about it.
So I went home, and I decided that I was going to call her because if she said no, it really didn't matter, and I would be able to say that I called her and retain a little respect. So I called her, not even knowing her name nor she mine, so I had to ask if "this is the girl that was in Korea teaching" and she was and she remembered us guys though didn't know exactly who I was until I tried to narrow it down (and even then I'm not sure she knew). And I asked if she was up for doing something sometime, and we ended up going out for coffee that night. And I have to assure you that I'm not really a guy that does this. Ever. That was the first and last time (so far) that ever happened.
But we went on a few dates and she turned out to be a little scary, and I happened to be leaving for Europe, so...
It worked for me, though. When you're convinced there's nothing to lose, there's no good reason to not do it. But I would do it in person next time. |

Yeah, it sort of started as a joke and then I decided I really HAD used that approach and it suddenly became a recommendation. Even though I say "Don't take my advice" and start to go into the joke disclaimer, I got caught up. :)
I don't know, it's an interesting idea/theory, but I'd probably call it Operation Last Ditch Effort. |

If you go into it not really caring about the potential of a knockback then you have nothing to lose...... but a knockback is often embarrasing. You could always stage a hero performance (which is something I used to do when I was a little kid and wanted to impress the girls).
Get a couple of your friends to wait for her after work and to be unpleasant to her as you are walking past.... you can then step in and pull off some moves that Bruce Lee would have been proud of. Then you can walk her home whilst she cuddles up to her savior. This is obviously a crap plan, which I wouldn't seriously recommend but hey it's a suggestion.

ok, here is is:
this if foolproof (honestly)..
get your hands on a puppy or a kitten (preferrably a puppy).. take it in there with you and make sure she sees it.
the rest will be history, i assure you. (within days you'll have her baking you cookies and getting you free CD's).
chicks LOVE puppies.

| what you should do is go shoot president Bush in her name. kinda like that guy who shot Regan just to get Jodi Fosters attention, that will definately get her attention. If that doesnt work, get a blow up doll and paste a picture of her face on it. Which Best Buy is this? |

I don't think that guy actually got a date with Jodi Foster though...
Maybe in addition to floop's kitten/puppy, you should also just happen to be babysitting your spouse's 1 or 2 year old kid that day (preferably a blue eyed, blonde haired girl, with pig tails tied with red ribbons). Show her you are a responsible kinda guy. Depending on the girl, this might not work though. Plus you gotta make sure she knows it isn't yours.
These are all really great plans, even Dave's driving of the sports car into the building.

The sports car idea is the best one for sure. My brother's been singing this song lately that goes "Girls don't like boys, girls just like cars and money," or something like that. And you see, the right sports car can definitely be tied to money, so there's no way it can fail. It's in a song - it must be true!

| Buy an expensive sports car, put the top down and wait outside until she gets off work. Pretend you just happen to be driving by. Offer her a ride to her car. |

Tell her you're dying of something or other and say you have a list of 10 things you wanted to accomplish, one of which is being with a hot girl like her who works retail.

maybe a combination of all the previous suggestions will work..
i like Stuart's staged hero scenario idea. if you can combine that with a puppy AND a sports car i think you'll be good as gold.
but then, that might be hard to do.
but if she's THAT hot..
as for hero scenario.. maybe you could hire some old lady to pretend she's having a heart attack in hot girl's section. you swoop in, effortlessly administer CPR (which cures all heart attacks, as we know) and then let your puppy (or puppies) come over and lick your face.
hopefully she'll walk you out to your rented sportscar, otheriwise that will have been a wasted expense. |
