I used to have quite a bit of confidence with women, if I knew that they liked me I would ask them out, since I split up from my ex I have lost confidence and hated women, now, I like this girl in work, the thing is that I have asked one or two others out in work before, one acted snooty and horrible to me after and the other said yes then cancelled.

I have asked a girl for a number once in my whole life, she ran away with her friends, I thoughtshe liked me but she was just trying to get something free from me.

Don;t get me wrong, when I feel confident women go coy, embaressed, look at the floor, heck Ieven made a police woman look down whilst she smiled just because I said "good evening", so I know that it is to do with confidence and presentation of body langauge and eye contact.




Anyway, this girl in work I like, I have tested her without saying a lot, I have half-complimented her, it wasn't even a compliment, I just asked if there was a fan behind the counter as I can see her hair blowing in the wind, she responded with a smile and a really happy/embaressed look.
Another time I passed her and said "hey" she really smiled at me whilst pushing her hair back and replied.
I have made small talk with her and she stands there and talks to me and seems happy.
When ever I see her and tell her to "havea nice evening" as she is leaving work she always straight away makes constant eye contact with me with a big smile whilst replying.

I acted aloof once to her whilst her friend was talking to me, just to test her, she was standing and didn;t know where to look, she seemed awqward then all of a sudden she kind of jolted and promplty put her hands down and changed her stance.



My question is, do women like to be woooed or asked out straight away, like in my case, I am not going to ever be good at wooing any time soon , will it work if I just ask her to come out for a drink or her number? what would your advice be?

Bit new to the game but I'll give a shot at answering, my advice would be don't just ask for it outright, but strike up conversation and if you are making her laugh et al keep doing it just keep her relaxed and if there is something cool on in your town just ask like its really natural, ask her if she wants to go see the band and if she says yes ask for her number so you can send her the details and arrange where to meet.
Another way if you don't have much time to talk, like at my old job where the only time to talk was on breaks and seeing as it was impossible to sync breaks I rarely got a chance to speak to this girl, I wrote my number on a piece of paper, handed it to her next time I saw her and said call me sometime, it worked!

Ever heard of the saying "Don't dip your pen in the company ink"? It rarely works really man.. Many have tried, few have succeeded.. Anyway, it doesn't matter how or where or when you ask her.. If you already build attraction and she is available, all you have to do is say something like : I'm free this thursday, how about we meet up for drinks after work? If she accepts when you meet her escalate and touch her confidently so that you won't fall in the friend zone..

She doesn'twork in the same area as me, and works different hours to me, though obviously I do see her at the end of her shift to be able to bump into her.
