The first thing you wanna do is steer the conversation away from work, whilst it may seem like an easy conversation starter, only talking about work will just lead to you being her "work friend", which is no bueno. What you wanna do next time you see her is build a rapport that doesn't involve work, what I like to do is make jokes about what she does in her free time "you're always running so fast around here, what do are you doing in your free time? Crack?", that's just an example but if you frame it right it's a great way to get her to start talking about her life outside of work without actually asking directly (this is especially great if you're a generally quiet person as she will do most of the talking). Try and find a mutual interest that you can lock onto, that'll be your key to asking her out. If you can't find something you have in common, think about something you like doing that she probably hasn't done (preferably a fun activity) and act like she's crazy for having not done it before then if you feel comfortable enough ask her out towards the end of the conversation or in the next shift if you feel it's too early, but remember, you wanna ask her out as soon as possible to avoid being in the friend zone.

Thank you! I definitely try something close to this as I not very comedic with snapbacks but I’ll try something to find a common ground. And I definitely try to close with asking for her number no beating around the bush and waiting for the third time

Quick update: I saw her today and didn’t do exactly what u said as I’m still a novice at this small talk and thinking on my feet. I just wanted to to say something to her to get over the anxiety of just letting someone pass by. Anyways, I saw her and said “hey (their name). How are u doing today?” She replied “I’m good hru.” I said “I’m good as well.” Then proceeded to ask her how long she’s been working here because I never seen her before. Yatata yataaa.. then I asked if she goes to school or what does she do outside of work for fun. Mind u I’m nervous asf so I’m just drawing anything from my mind to just keep the conversation going with her. She’s replies “no im not in school” and that she just likes to hang out.” I respond with something corny based on something I noticed on her t shirt. It said “whatever” on it so I said “kind of like ur t shirt u down for whatever, right?” She had an open mouth smile and I smiled back and left the convo at that. Later on that day I said to myself fuck it, I got to just ask her out. the worst she could do is say is no. Plus I have no game so all this small talk wasn’t for me. I came to her and said “sorry if I feel like I’m bothering u but I’m really shy and quiet so I’m not good at small talk. Idk if u noticed that by now but anyways I want to cut to the chase and just say I really think your beautiful and sweet and u seem like someone I would like to get to know more. If you’re not interested or have a bf I politely leave u be. She then replied “that that’s really sweet but I do have a bf.” I ended my convo with “ok, well he’s really lucky because your extremely beautiful.
Im just genuinely happy and proud of myself in a sense that i got it out even if I didn’t get her number or anything. I just hope to improve in my convos more and hopefully pull some numbers and actual dates

Well, if she has a boyfriend there's not much else you can do. That being said, I'm proud of you bro, approaching is the scariest part and you did that. And about the number, something you should remember,
You're not talking to women so you can get with them. you're talking to them because you want to. Sex is just a bonus.
So don't worry about not getting her number, she knows you find her attractive and you had the balls to tell her, that's all that matters right now. I promise you'll get better at conversation, but the first thing you need is confidence. Well done bro.

You sad that you don't like to pretend, then why did you say most cheesy compliment ever about her eyes?
Just be honest, and say what you actually want or like about her.

I rarely ever compliment women so me saying that was because she really had beautiful eyes and they stood out as she seems like a shy person herself that there was nothing else to compliment her on. We are in dingy work clothes so I can’t really speak on that

You already ruined it, this ain't going nowhere.
Ima tell u what I witnessed the other day.
I'm at a gas station that is my normal pitstop after work. There is a cashier there that is easily one of the best looking women I know, she ain't available but we talk as acquaintances since I am a regular. Two smoking hot women are in line in front of me, seemed like they were on vacation, idk their orientation but one of them told the cashier she had the most beautiful eyes. She just said thanks and gave her her change and called me up to get them out of the way and get me cashed out . She literally scoffed as they left and got into a real pissy mood and complained to me that she is so sick of hearing that every day and that it seems fake even if it isn't.
Consider the gravity of this situation, the compliment was from ANOTHER WOMAN and it still turned her off, and she is completely straight. This is how often beautiful women hear the same shit all day every day, and how sick of it they are.
This ain't 1995. Even a genuine compliment can come off as fake just because of the amount of times a woman hears it. Even a chad can be demoted to a Brad by using compliments wrong. I ain't saying compliments are bad, but they have to be recieved as genuinely as they are given. To do this, you never compliment something outside of the woman's control, instead compliment something she is in direct control over, this way it is a compliment unique to her that is more easily recieved as genuine.. Don't say she has beautiful eyes, say you really like what she did with her mascara, don't say she has nice hair, say u like the hairstyle/color.
Now next time you know how not to fuck up.
