This pretty (and appears to be shy) girl works at a news stand in the building where I work. She's only there on Mondays and Tuesdays. This is the extent of our interactions:
* Since seeing her working there two months ago, I always made it a point to say "have a good day" or something else with a smile. She always responded back with a smile.
* Two weeks ago, I asked her what days she worked because I noticed she's not there everyday. She told me.
* My co-worker said she's Ethiopian. So today, I asked her if she was Ethiopian and my co-worker was correct. She asked me if I knew any Ethiopians which caught me off guard but my response was "there's an Ethiopian bar/restaurant near my house that I go to". Then before I left, I said "everytime I come in here, you're always so pleasant" which she smiled and said thanks.
So, she knows my face but we don't each other's name. The store is always crowded and I have a problem hitting on clerks in busy stores.
I'm thinking tomorrow, I go in there...smile and say I'd like to introduce myself. If she responds favorably and tells me her name, I'd say something like "I have to get to work, but can we meet up for coffee sometime?" Then I'll exchange numbers with her.
I'm not a pro, but approaches are starting to scare me a lot less now.
To all the guys who are better at this...how would you approach this girl with the same amount of interactions I had with her? Would you word my approach any differently?
Remember, she comes across as shy and quiet (although that can just be her work persona).
