I went to buy a new laptop and a set of computer speakers at Best Buy yesterday. When I arrived at the computer section, I didn’t know what to look for …so I waited for an sales associate to assist me in selecting and purchasing the
merchandise
There was one close by but he was assisting another customer .While I was waiting, I saw another guy in Best buy Uniform walking by so I waved at him to come over so he can assist me.
As soon as soon as I laid eyes on him, I felt an instant attraction…He didn’t look like a male model or anything but I felt an attraction and sparks towards him. I found myself asking him more questions to be around him longer .He was nice and very helpful…he carried the lap top and speaks to my car for me since the boxes were quite heavy.I know its part of his job but I was captivated by him. When I left, I had butterflies in my stomach …
I don’t experience this kind of attraction all the time…Even with some guys that I come across who are dead dead drop gorgeous .I might not feel an attraction even though they are physically good looking.
I have to go back to Best Buy anyways to buy an antivirus since the one I have is expiring soon .I was thinking to ask for his assistance again … then slip my name and number on a piece of paper with a note that reads
" I felt an attraction the moment I laid eyes on you"
"call me if you’re interested,
"I would like to get to know "
I’ve never asked a guy out and I’m beyond terrified just the thought of approaching him. Should I do it? If he doesn’t call at least I tried right?
I think you’ve been listening to Carly Rae Jepsen too much.
Here’s the thing. When I was in grade 9 a girl slipped me a note in my English text book at the end of the year before she moved to California. This is way before the internet and I didn’t find the note till the beginning of the next school year.
I was totally bummed out that I missed out on this opportunity.
Give him the note. What’s the worst that could happen?
What???
All the good ones are sold online. And you should certainly be able to renew your current one online.
Besides, the ones available for free are just as effective as the ones sold for high prices. Just use a free one. (That leaves you more money to go on dates.)
If you’re female and roughly in his league, this should be a straightforward task. Just flirt with him in person. Dress sexily and tease him a little. Basically, you need to make it clear he’s not wasting his time, but don’t be too easy, etc.
I’d advise against that. It’s good advice in normal circumstances, but he may feel like he can’t ask you out while he’s at work - no doubt there are some rules against it.
My suggestion: Do the sale, and just as you’re about to leave hand him a note with your number (and name!) and say something like 'Hey, if you want to go out for a drink sometime, I’d like that. Give me a call if you fancy it!"
That way, he doesn’t have to say yes or no, if he’s not interested but doesn’t want to say so then all he has to do is not call you.
The worst advice in this thread. Not every man is going to hit on a woman just because she’s dressed in a sexy way and seems flirty. Especially not when at work.
And…tease him but don’t be too easy :rolleyes: Yes, sure, the best thing to do is to send contradictory vibes. It will make things so much clearer.
She’s very interested in him, and can only approach him in a setting that isn’t exactly the most convenient or romantic : in public, at his workplace, during his work hours. The more straightforward she is, the better. Her idea of slipping a message is vastly better than your suggestion IMO.
Oh, no. Don’t “dress sexy” and go into Best Buy. So much desperation there. Don’t do it. (I get asked my number way more when I’m wearing almost no makeup and I’m in line for coffee on a Saturday morning, than when I’m dressed up.)
I agree with The Angry Badger. Just tell him that you really enjoyed talking with him and would love to have a drink/get coffee/have lunch. Then hand him the paper with your name and number on it, smile, and leave.
Afterwards, go about your life. Do not stalk the Best Buy, do not obsess.
A note gives him the out of not replying if he’s not interested or not available. Flirting with him at work puts him in the awkward position of being flirted with in front of his co-workers, and while he required to be polite and friendly at all times to customers. I think the suggestion of slipping him a note with just your name and number is best.
I would prefer the girl just say something but the note isn’t creepy. Men are horndogs. A girl can take out a knife, prick her finger, write her number in blood on her shoe and give it to us and we’d just think “I like her, she’s resourceful!”
Don’t do it. Brick & mortar retail is a meat grinder life and Best Buy will go belly up before too long then he will be unemployed and depressed and he will sit around the apartment all day playing video games while you scream at him to find a job.
He has already made bad decisions which have landed him in retail and he is probably used to getting by on his charm. Then one day you will realize you are pregnant, and you decide that you really want to keep the baby, but will he be a good provider to the family if he just sits around eating Hot Pockets and Cheetos and paying GTA all day?
Keep your note in our pocket. No good can come of this.
