Best advice in this thread. Learn by doing. Even if it doesn’t lead to immediate dates with attractive women, you will improve your conversational skills, and you might make some new friends.
Update?
I dated a waitress for a bit, asked her out at work. It was fine.
I’ve been in the service industry myself and there were many customers I’d have loved to get to know better. And a couple I had no interest in who were very interested in me, even a couple who kind of stalked me (that was creepy).
Except for the stalkers it never bothered me to be complimented and/or asked out by anyone at work as long as they were okay about my rejection. It was no different to me than someone asking me outside of work.
Me being a male (and in my opinion nothing special in the looks department) I didn’t get that very often so if I was an attractive female being hit on constantly that might have been a different story. But I’m sure those women also deal with it outside of work. And it’s probably less of a bother being approached by strange men in a public place surrounded by people than alone where you don’t know if your rejection will be received very poorly.
I say don’t worry about doing it at the store. It’s not that big of a deal.
