So I lost this woman's number should I fake stalk her

The point is, why approach her to ask for her number when you could just as easily approach her and ask her out? Why the extra step?

Surely he will need the number later, unless she tells him unequivocally to leave her the hell alone.

To the OP, just tell her your cat ate your homework and her number along with it. Ask for a second chance and don’t blow it.

I think it’s fine. It wouldn’t creep me out or anything…unless you keep losing her number and keep showing up at her work.

As he already pointed out, Suburban Plankton had to stalk me in college to get my number. It worked out for us, we’ve been together nearly 18 years, married for 15 1/2 years.

T<snip> You could even go as far as asking her out in person. “I misplaced your number, and I wanted to know if you’d like to get dinner on Friday.” Then get her number again.

I like this approach the best - it lets her know you lost her number, and that’s why you haven’t called, and it also moves things forward in a concrete way.

She’s working. You’re asking her something personal. At least give her the chance to be professional about it and do it outside of the store. Are you just going to interrupt her while she’s working and put her on the spot? What if she finds that embarrassing or uncomfortable? Letting her know that you want a minute of her time in private is much cooler than putting her in a potentially awkward situation in her workplace.

Asking her to go outside and meet with you is just as personal. You still have to interrupt her and put her on the spot. IMHO, it’s actually less cool. YMMV.
