This post had to be taken down because it appears to be focused on a specific situation or person. While Field Reports deal with specific situations and people, remember that the focus is different:
No worries though! Though the thread has been taken down, any conversations you have started here can still continue, and if you want to PM a mod to get their opinion on this thread, feel free to do so and they will still be able to weigh in.
For next time, remember that posts about a specific situational advice with a specific person are fine as field should be directed to Ask Seddit (/r/askseddit), not to be confused with Ask Reddit.

"Hey, what's up, I think you're cute, can I give you my number?"
How this opening is that popular (asking for her phone number or giving your phone number)? Why is a hurry? Do you have to go somewhere?
You should talk to her normally without asking her anything but if you see that everything is OK, you can ask for her phone number otherwise it looks weird.
It is just my point of view because I'm sure it will be other users who will talk about confidence, direct opening, masculine attitude, energy, and all kinds of BS...

Uhh because I'm at work, and she's at work too. Obviously I'm gonna ask for her name, but I don't really wanna start chatting her up when she's a barista making coffee orders and It's not like I'm gonna wait like a creep for her to finish work y'know... I don't wanna hit on someone at their workplace where their coworkers are nearby.

I knew that it will be someone talking about confidence and all kind of attitudes :-)
Anyways, to me, it also looks like OP already knows how to do it.

What else could someone say? Invent a new language so you dont get butthurt. Maybe you could enlighten us by expanding our vocabularies
[–]epimpstyle 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I can't expand the vocabulary because english is not my native language but imagine how many guys with no confidence have a gf ? How many guys without hitting the gym have gf? How many times have you seen in a club guys without masculine energy/attitude and they have a gf?
I'm saying that confidence/masculine energy/ dominant attitude etc are not some checkpoints from a list... it is possible to pick up girls with only two attitudes: being friendly and polite, in this way you are a nice companion without looking arrogant or aggressive that will happen in case the confidence is too much or when you are trying to act like an alpha guy and instead to be cool, you end up as a jerk... or the attitude of NGF, if it is not used properly, will place you in the same bad category.
In this way it is easier to be careful only at being friendly and polite (without exaggeration)... even if you go talk to a girl for the first time, you talk to her because you are friendly and you talk to everyone, she is not special but if you are using confidence she will be special: "you look cute, what's your phone number?". This is my philosophy trying to make the approach to a woman as simple as possible.
[–]FelipepRntscRn 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I think the issue is you are taking things out of context, i don't know if it's on purpose.
If you associate having some confidence with being a jerk, i can tell you got it wrong.
How many guys with no confidence have a girl? You could debate all you want, but that person had at least at little bit of confidence, even if it was just once that the stars aligned that day, but that girlfriend didnt appear in his life all of a sudden.
How many guys without hitting the gym have gf? A lot, but it will be irresponsibly and misleading to say someone 'you are way out of shape but being friendly solves anything' either he gets a girlfriend who shares the lifestyle or your advice of being friendly is just bs. Not going to the extreme, he doesnt need to be Mr Olympia, but atleast being decent is enough.
My advice didnt say 'hey, be buffed before you act'.
Being friendly, polite, lighthearted are traits that you should work on, be it a girl you are approaching or a male neighbour.
Is there a simpler way than asking for a number or asking out? What he should do? Just smile thru the window? Interrupt her work shift and his aswell and just buy something and leave?
Maybe you dont want to use the word 'confidence' or 'masculine', but being just friendly without acting is just that. Thats why your advice of 'just be polite' is kinda bs without further details.
Going to someones else workplace takes confidence, and he should exercise that by going and asking for her number.

No way, I said something else :-)
Well... my approach is not as direct as you are saying, I prefer to use an indirect approach especially since it is a workplace. I would not ask for a phone number unless I see that she is interested in my person because I don't collect phone numbers, but this is my point of view and every person is different.
[–]ClavasClub1 point 3 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I'm just clarifying - we don't work at the same place. Completely different businesses
[–]Robofrogg1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah that’s not BS, but …. You do you, bud.
[–]epimpstyle 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Everyone is giving too much importance to a few details that are not mandatory. I'm not saying to not have confidence at all, I'm saying that it is not super-important, you will build confidence without knowing only by talking to different people on different occasions.
It is like doing a meal using only the ingredients you have.... you won't say "No, I can not do a meal today because I don't have potatoes, so I won't eat", you will do a meal that does not require potatoes, and you will eat although potatoes are missing.
The same thing is with confidence, masculine energy/attitude, or being alpha... it is good if you are like that and you must keep working to have this style but until you are like that go and talk to people and you will see magic. It should not be an obstacle: "I don't go and talk to that girl because I feel like I don't have enough energy / I don't have the leather jacket to look masculine... etc" - I guess you got the idea.
Not only the successful or authoritative guys have a gf. It is a woman for every guy, you must go and search for her because she doesn't have the label "I am here for XXX"... so you must go and talk to her to see if she is for you or not.

Women don't make the first move as a buffer against rejection. It's also easier on their ego if they force the guy to do it or wait until he does - so he can take all the risks. (
That's why I'm constantly urging guys to push as far as they can until they get stopped. No, it's not being creepy you numbskull incels.
Coffee, initially, is good. Get her there and then start probing as to what her fantasies and desires might be - and suggest that she come over to your place for another coffee because you have more there.
Also note that trying to go "dipping in the company inkwell" can introduce issues into the workplace. Depends on how much you care about the stability of your job though - should things get out of hand.

Yeaaaaah I think I'll pass on your advice. I'm definitely looking for something serious and I don't wanna "invite her for coffee" so soon before I even get to know who she is as a person. I also don't think "pushing as hard as you can" is a good idea and "not creepy". It's definitely creepy imo.
Edit : I read your other comments, especially about the part where you imply if a women says "we're not having sex" but isn't screaming that like a banshee means it's okay to proceed for sex - you creep me out and I'm not even a woman.
[–]coolwater85 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A quick chat with her. Small talk, make her laugh a little, then say “I gotta get going (back to work, back home after a shift, etc.) but this was fun. Give me your number and we can hang out.”
[–]ChicoBrillo 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just do it man even if she’s not interested she’ll be flattered.
[–]Skizznitt 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude just be honest. Go up to her and be like "Hey I've seen you over here more than a few times, we've locked eyes and I felt like there was some kind of connection, would you like to go grab a coffee or some lunch with me sometime?" Easy peasy. You're way overthinking it bud.
[–]Best-Ad-1223 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You basically have cart blanche, my guy. Say anything. Whatever. Start a conversation, exchange numbers and take her out somethimes. She xlearly has a lot of interest.
[–]Jasonhardon 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Be like hey I get off at work at 6 or whatever, there’s a XYZ happening. Wanna check it out with me? Yes proceed to get number
[–]WanyCaleb 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You know she likes you so, that's essentially 50% of the work done. The remaining is just a bunch of check points unless of course you goof up. Just talk to her like she's already your..lover? Gf? And see where it goes. Coffee, lunch, diner, desert are all good and acceptable. Thank you and good night!
[–]SonnyT2021 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She works in a coffee shop go over and buy a coffee and say hi introduce yourself and say you work over the road and go from there, no pressure
[–]MozartonMDMA 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pro tip: your goal is to meet up with the person 1on1 later not get her number. Say we should definitely grab drinks, etc this weekend, why don't you give me your number. Don't directly just ask for her number.
[–]revente 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No just go there, introduce yourself and initiate a conversation.
„Hey i’m ... i keep seeing you all the time, what’s your name?’
Then ask her some general question, listen to her answers and ask more questions/make statements about those answers. Rinse n repeat. Then get her number when you have to leave.
Also break the touch barrier by shaking hands.
[–]Phantomniaa 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Im here reading all of these comments and the only thing I’m wondering is; How do you know her age if you never approached her before??
One of my coworkers went to school with her
