    Just looking for a opinions!:)

    My laptop was broke for a while there and I've been using the net in a dvd place near me; the thing is that there's a really cute guy working there! We'd say hi etc and I've seen him about a bit locally too.

    I don't think I was ever mad flirty when chatting to him or anything, but I definitely clocked this guy a few times. It actually got to the point where I'd feel a bit awkward going in because I was convinced he knew I liked the look of him!:o

    The problem now is that my laptops fixed so I've no reason to go in and I'm missing out on my daily dose of eye candy! :P I'm fairly confident but I really don't think I'd have the nerve to go in and just chat to the guy for no reason - plus he'd probably think I was some kind of crazy stalker chick! So I'm kind of out of options unless ye have any ideas?:cool:

    Didn't want to put this in PI as it's only a bit of craic really, not something I'm losing sleep over! :) Just thought it'd be interesting to see what anyone else would do in the same situation!

    Become a movie buff.

    Ask his opinions on new releases/classic films.

    Get chatting that way.

    It's a DVD place ... so as Chinafoot said, go in and ask his advice about movies!

    Read up on some of the latest movies, then go in and ask what he'd recommend and have a chat with him!

    Having something in common / a common interest will immediately get the ball rolling! :)

    Go in under the pretence that you are looking for a DVD, find one thats rather obscure....like Ideal with Johnny Vegas(no one ever has that) & strike up a conversation....flirt a little, try see if he is single....

    Back to seriousness though G86, you should try find out if hes single....you could ask him out...what is there to lose? The worst case scenario is that he says no...and sure theres plenty more hotties out there.

    Getting chatting about movies, suss it out then ask him out.

    I'd be MAD impressed if a girl asked me out like that.

    G86 I know you and you're a confident lady, so if anyone could go for it I think you could, why not sure!

    Or else get me to go in there and ask him out for you! :D

    Why not go in a few more times, get a bit flirty etc and eventually say something along the lines of "Ya won't be seeing me much anymore, my laptop's getting fixed!" If a girl said anything along those lines to me, I'd ask for her number or at the very least, get into mega flirt mode and pretty much go for it. Maybe that's just me but I reckon a hinty flirtation like that is exactly what ya need.

    A friend of mine asked the guy working in the car rental place out after she rented a car from him. She left and had hoped he would call her but he didnt cos her number was company information (this was in America). He did drive up and down her road a few times to see if he could bump into her but she decided a week later to ask him out to an Alliance Francaise event as he was over on work experience from Belgium. She has just had baby No 4... They are very happy together and she is terribly shy and would never have had the nerve to do something like that before.

    Go for it.. What do you have to lose? You can avoid him if he says no.

    If you tend to bump into him on the street. Maybe it would be less awkward to strike up a conversation there?
    Easier to judge of he interested in talking to you, and if you do strike out, easier to escape.

    Yeh I'll ask him out for you! Clare and I'll do a double act!

    Worst he could do is say no, and like you said, its not as if you go there much anymore.

    Do this .. go in and rent a movie or something hand him a piece of paper with your number on it! If he texts then great ... if he doesnt ok .. embarrassed for a while, but you didnt miss out on something!

    Just hand the number and walk away ..........
    the rest is up to him! I would honestly do that.

    Ask him out, definitely. I'd love to be asked out by a girl! Whats the worst that could happen? Rent a DVD and when you give it back give it back to him with your number or something.
