I work as a receptionist at one job and as a cashier at another job. Several times women seem interested like they are really smiling, maintain good eye contact and are talkative. But I'm scared to ask for the number.

Here are some of my problems:

1) What to say besides "How is your day going?"
2) Is this a nice script for asking the number:
"You seem pretty cool. I would like to get to know you more. May I have your number?" as I am pulling out a pen and piece of paper or handing her my phone.
3) I don't want her to complain to the business owners that I was being improper or inappropriate so that's why I get so scared to ask for the number. Is my fear reasonable? How do I act so that I do not come across as inappropriate?
4) Sometimes girls show interest in me and I notice they are wearing a ring on their left hand's ring finger. What does that mean? Are they just being nice or are they really interested? How to tell? Should I go for asking the number or is it going to fire back at me?

Thank you for your input.

I certainly wouldn't do anything like that. Most of these women are probably just being friendly, and one complaining customer could cost you your job.

This.

Sorry bro but it's not worth risking your job, even if some of them are genuinely interested. One misread situation is all it takes to get your ass fired.

Believe it or not women can be nice and polite without wanting to jump on your dick. It's not worth the risk as it seems you are probably reading too much into it and will get sacked. Jeeze can no bloke on the planet go about their day without thinking someone wants to fuck them? Talk about huge egos!

Are you coming on to me?

Compliment them, look them in the eye, smile and say something like "you know what? *pause* you're really cute/pretty/whatever" then wait for their reaction. If they giggle and look down just ask them out, if they return the compliment ask them out.

Just be smart about it. Don't be pushy, just be cool like its no big deal.

Don't listen to the troll. You can still be flirty at work and what girl doesn't like a compliment?

not a pro PUA so I can only answer your first question.

other than "how was your day?" and stuff like that, you could try something random like, "On a scale of 1-10, tell me how outgoing/confident/*insert some qualities* are you?" girls seem to like these types of questions a lot, you not only get a chance to get to know them more but also building a bit of comfort.

As someone said .. game in other locations ... most likely most of these women are just being nice, because you know, that's what people do. Your best bet here is to shoot the shit with them a little and hope that there is a repeat customer and then you can slowly escalate like maybe tell them you heard about some cool thing in the area btw they should check out depending on context.

Give the woman a confident compliment to get her on your side. She will probably blush and giggle. Once you have a woman in this state, she's not likely to complain about you to your boss.

Also, who gives a shit if you lose a job anyway. A receptionist job is only stepping stone towards your ultimate goal in your career so no need to be so precious about it.

P.s. This thread belongs in the Approaching and Opening section, not Mid Game

Random business women love it when you throw them on your reception desk and ride them there and then in public. Try it out!





Whoever needed a job anyway...

You argue like a woman. Over exaggerate everything like a drama queen. Dude wants to get laid with hot women he sees at work, nothing wrong with a compliment and a coffee / lunch.

I have some girl friends who get hit on by their cashier... I don't know of a single one who actually went out with the cashier... but none of them tried to get the guy fired either.

Well yeah, a cashier or receptionist is a low value job to most women above a certain age I guess. Still cougars would probably hunt a young cashier if he was handsone enough.

Thank you for all the input. I did only half the job:

Me: You have a very nice voice
Her: [Looking down and giggling] Thank you
Me: You must be a voice model.
Her: [Still giggling. and said something like I know right]

I still don't go for the number. I'm so scared.
