"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hey guys I have a situation here. I've noticed that there are many beautiful that work at grocery stores. I'm telling myself I should try and mack to this girls but for some reason I'm drawing a blank on how to go about it. It just feels awkward asking women out at a register. What do you guys think? Any advice?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Got a business card? Give it to her after she gives you the reciept. You have to be quick because you are talking just seconds you have. My advice, be that smiling face and only go to her aisle. Once she begins to smile back then you know you can approach her. Just be quick and get her number. Either way, TRY to get her number and don't rely on her to call you.

Things must be different in Buffalo than here. I never see good looking girls who work at grocery stores.

It feels awkward because it is awkward. You're going in with the mindset that you want to go out with them, when all you know is that they are attractive, at work, and on a possible time constraint. You haven't yet established that there is any common ground to see if they are your type. It's just not a good position to be in, to have your mind already made up like that.

That's not to say that you couldn't ask them out AFTER you get to know them a bit. For instance, you could ask them a few questions about themselves at the checkout, like how long they worked there, or if they have a book they're reading nearby, comment on that, and see where it goes.

Just feel it out without trying too hard is what I'm saying.

Checkout chicks are like female bartenders...they have heard it all before and are in work mode, so they are not disposed to noticing customers and responding positively. I think you really need to have good game to succeed, but trying will not hurt you either. There was another thread in this vein, so try doing a search.

The other point to make is that if you are chasing sales counter staff, then you are not meeting enough women in other places such as Starbucks, clubs, bookshops, etc.

This line is more appropriate for cashiers at fast food restaurants - when she asks you "Anything else?" - they always ask this per their training - say, "Yes, give me your phone number" and quickly while pointing at her and while rolling your eyes add "but don't charge me for it!!"
