I never thought I'd post one of these. Ever. But... <shrug>

So I get off for lunch today and go to the bank, deposit my check, and head over to burger king. Go through the drive through. She's there again.

The first time I saw this girl, I forgot my order. Thing going through my mind was something to the effect of "since when are hotties stationed in back drive?" but I bit my tongue. Instead I handed her X-amount-of-cash and she gave me my change. Asked if I wanted salt or ketchup, I'm sure, but I don't really know because I couldn't really hear her. Don't see very many cuties in my area.

Well today, she was there again. Now I haven't had any problem talking to girls for a long time... I did in high school, but since then, I've become much less anti-social. So when I came through the drive through and she was there again, I was slightly taken off guard, but I doubt she could tell I was, shall we say, enthralled. Small talk for two lines, onto the next window. Definitely better than last time.

I'm guessing she works lunch at least every Thursday, so I've got a week to think about what I'm going to do. Currently the plan is to ask her to take a short 4-question survey for an independent research project I'm working on, and keep coming back until she agrees to do it. I'm not sure how many times I'll have to circle the drive-thru, but I'm hoping not too many.

At this point, the survey looks something like this:
1. What's your name? (shouldn't be a problem)
2. What's your phone number? (I'll explain it's for independent verification of results... or something to that effect)
3. What time do you get off work? (Hey, at least I'm not asking her weight)
4. What do you like to do for fun? (She'll get the idea by now)

I'd have pics, but a friend of mine's borrowing my digital camera. He's studying in Germany this year.

Anyway, I'm hoping that she's a) not seeing anyone, and b) somewhere around my age. Never can tell with women.

UPDATE: Ok, well after putting the idea through my natural relationship parser, the survey idea's out. Only two people liked it, and one of them was Mainfram3d. Now I don't know what I'm gonna do. Still thinking about it... I'm usually incredibly creative, and half the reason for this post was that I thought to myself after coming up with the idea, "Xirtam, you aren't thinking straight. Go post. They'll love it." That coupled with the oddball notion of even trying to pick someone up from the drive-thru is just a bit too much for my rational logic circuits at the moment.

CURRENT PLAN: Ask for her number outright. Seems boring, but not cheesy.

I hope to God you're not serious...

Handing a survey to a woman in a drive-through? What's she gonna do? Hold up other people's orders until she finds a pen and fills it out?

Just ask her out already, dont beat around the bush. You could go for a late lunch one day and see if she is there when she isn't busy. She will be more likely to talk to you...

Verbal survey. It's worked before. I've just never tried it for one for me.

Yeah, great idea. Stalker. :Q

Seriously dude, if you don't have trouble talking to girls, just take your lunch break late and if she isn't busy talk to her. Or, during some small talk, ask her if she wants to see a movie or something sometime.

Might as well hand her a note that says...



Do you like me? Circle YES or NO


Jeez :confused:

I'll make a note of that, although I think I already had it figured out.

The survey thing's not set in stone... hard to believe I'm actually considering it. I think maybe I've been coding too long. I've never picked up anyone from a drive-thru before.

Survery is WORST IDEA EVER. Sorry, I don't mean to be harsh, but most girls I know do not go for that. Just ask her if she doesn't mind giving you her number so you could call her sometime...or if you can meet her sometime for coffee or a drink (depending on your ages).

Sounds good, kind of the cute thing to do, but it will never fail if she is truly interested in you.

You also might try going into the Burger King and speaking to her more face-to-face and not at the drive-thru window as it can be rushed. But you said she works in the back, so you may not have a chance to speak to her if you enter the restaurant.

How old is she to be working at Burger King? Because there are a lot of HS kids working at Burger King and a 16 year old girl may appear to be 21, and say that she is 21 for that matter.

Are you the same age, do you think?

and


Please,

Out of respect for the young woman do not persue or post pictures. Worst thing you could do.

Do not ask when she gets off of work. Your best bet is to just plainly ask her out on a date. If she complies, then ask her for her name. Once you have her name... then you get her phone number or you give her yours. Simple enough?

...just ask her out. Girls like to get asked out on dates by non-creepy guys. You're not creepy are you?

That's the trouble I'm having. I figure if she was in school still she wouldn't be working at Burger King during my lunch hour, but maybe she gets out early or something. I'm 20... don't know, there's a chance.

And yeah, I don't go around stalking people typically, but I usually don't have problems with asking random girls out. This one seems harder for some reason unknown to me.

Yeah, same advice I usually wind up giving other people. Except usually name first, I think. I don't know, though.

Well I don't consider myself to be creepy, but then again, I'm not trying to ask myself out.
