Romantic Advice - Problems/Solutions

Right- A thread dedicated to predicaments related to the opposite sex- please add your own, if you have any, and I will try and return the favour with anyone else who can help.

Here's my quandary.

There's a super babe who is working down in my local shop. I mean... phwoar. No, really. Ouch.

So, first time I saw her, I chatted her up a little, the usual stuff and nonsense. It's a bit tough because there's inevitably some pushy, impatient woman behind me in the queue, or one of the shop fellows shooting me filthy looks, because they'd prefer to be chatting her up rather than working- fair enough. Or perhaps she has brothers, or boyfriends, or husband(s)... eep. One of them was 7foot. Anyhow.

So I saw her yesterday for the second time. Told her she was working too hard- needed to take it easy a bit, and asked her if she mightn't come out with me for a drink. She gave me a big smile, and said maybe, that she'd think about it.

So, I reckon dropping her my number is a pretty good idea as a next step.

Now, I realise romantic advice and internet chess forums go hand in hand, so I thought I'd ask for ideas, but only because it's an unusual situation.

So, what's a brilliant way of doing this?

It'd have to be quick, because she's working, and everyone's watching, so if I hold her up too long, she might get in trouble with the management.

But also a bit romantic. I thought of giving her a small gift with my number- a flower, perhaps, with my number attached.

However, that's so corny, that even I would want to beat myself up afterwards. Plus she'd have to be carrying it around all day, and might get in trouble again. And I wouldn't want to embarrass her too much.

I need an idea with a touch of subtlety, a hint of romance, and a dash of genious. Help me out, fellows, please. And and ladies out there, what works? Where is that fine line between romance and corniness? Or is corny good? Hmm.

It's a complicated old world.

Chew some gum and stick your piece of paper on it.
Throw it into her hair.

Chicks love ingenuity.

I'm heading over that way THIS evening, and this is what you fellows give me...

Come on now... if I listen to you, I might as well resign myself to a life of celibacy. Monks eat well, don't they? And they still have mead, right?

It's getting more tempting by the minute. Anyone have anything better, before I shave the top of my head?

The best thing to do is to be yourself.
She likes you or she doesn't, it's as simple as that.

And the rest is something that time will tell. 😉

Mmm. Well, that is usually good advice, LooseScrew, but it still doesn't solve the logical problem. It's not one of 'ooo, what do I say?', I'm ok there- really.

(Well, actually, I'm pretty awful, but I do it anyway) 😉

It's more how to hand her over my number, really. Plus I only have about 30 seconds max before some old dear starts to complain that her tea cakes await ringing in and packing up. Sure, I could do it in a straight-forward way, and just give her a piece of paper, but that's a bit boring. Or if there's a better move. Am still trying to impress her, remember.

Hmm... maybe something goofy would work well. Make her laugh. Good advice too, bub.

Hmmm. Will mull it over.

No, not yet, Bosse, you swine! You didn't even read my post, did you? 🙁

😠 This is a serious predicament. No 'sausage humour', please. But thanks all the same. 😉
