I see this girl everyday who works the counter in my local coffee shop and I'm completely smitten. I want to ask her out but don't know how to go about it.
I had this idea about writing a song for her - nothing too sentimental or corn heavy - just a breezy acoustic song that explains that I think she's wonderful and I'd like to get to know her. I'd make it a little humorous too and ask her out on a date in the song.
So my plan was to order my coffee as per usual, pay for it and then hand her the CD with my song on it and say almost as an afterthought ''Oh and this is for you'' - and then leave. If she's interested she can call/email me (CD art will include my contact details) - if she's not well I lose a favourite coffee haunt forever!
Is this a stupid idea? Should I just ask her out directly? Ladies would this creep you out if someone did this to you? I don't plan on making any follow up CD's or attempts to win her affection. I'm no stalker - this will be a once only thing.
Should I do it?
yes
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrghhghghg
my advice is.. don't do it.
no. ask her out.
Just ask her out. Straight up, face to face. Does she seem interested in you?
the song / cd thing is pretty wack.
Thats my opinion.
Ask her something non-commital to get an idea. i.e.
''Hey, my friend wants to ask out a girl who works in a coffee shop, but he's worried she'll freak out and he won't be able to face going back there for coffee. Would it freak you out if one of your regulars asked you out on a date?''
ahhh mrmusic is gold.
Do it while she is serving someone!
Take her out for coffee.

hahahahahaha
troll alert?
that said, i know an ugly guy who screws a lot of girls because he games them by talking about how lonely they look, and hey, 'have this mix CD i made'. evidently dumb-bitches will fall for anything so you might actually be in with a shot.
i love the idea as a girl, but i know that most girls would play it to all their friends and have a good laugh about it. (Though i didn't do this when i had a song written about me hehe)
I'd ask her out ''I've got tickets to x and was wondering if you'd like to come' or some such
I've talked with her every morning for 4 months. We get on famously, have similar interests and stuff. I don't know whether she likes me but she's always glad to see me.
Then again she's probably just really good at customer service.
Maybe I won't do the CD thing.
wow. that's a really awful idea which will surely result in you needing to find a new coffee shop.
in response to what charles said, its ok we were already dating when he wrote it
You are SUCH a fucking fag that you deserve the horrible rejection you're going to get.
Here's an idea fuckwit, instead of treating her like some romantic fantasy object you fucking poof, treat her like a human being. A human being with a vagina, but a human being nonetheless. Human's like drinking and fucking. Talk to her, when the moments right, say ''I like yer stuff. Wanna fuck?''
Mind you, if you're not me that might not work, so try asking her out for a drink. Not dinner, not a movie, not a coffee, but booze.
Mind you, MrMusic's advice isn't bad.
See, normal serving wenches are easy. Barchicks are a bit harder, and strippers are harder still, but it can be done if you just bother to give it a shot.
Just ask her out.
do it. one day you'll be too old, boring and committed to do lovely things like this. if it doesn't work out, you'll know
I'm no troll!
Is my idea that bad?
CD is a bad idea.

^^ hates life.
Hey. Hey. Hey. What are you doing now, barrista-asking-out-guy?
Can someone sum up this thread in 15 words or less
doesn't the title of the thread do that already?
you're a smart one, aren't you panda_monium?
oort: LonesomeRhodes discovers a buried chest of spanish gold, along with his friends FilterFeed and Panda_Monium. Hijinx ensue when the trio attempt to divide the gold equally. In the end, it turns out the chest was actually a lost movie prop and the gold is fake, but not before the protagonists learn an important lesson about friendship.
LonesomeRhodes is that rare breed of artists who continue to buck the trend with resounding success.
ASking out the coffee shop girl is dripping with the chat's infectious indie folk sound with a smack of big band sound.
While perhaps a tad too earnest in parts, you’d have to be quite the grumpy bastard to not crack a smile over this thread.
Four stars
mmm, golden spanish boobies.
LonesomeRhodes' sophomore effort is nothing more than Sonic-era bleeps and boops to cater for the 3065 Fitzroy Hipster Bimbo's Pizza Elitist postcodes.
Ha! I'd forgotten all about this little soap opera of a thread.
Three and a half stars from me, Margaret.
A chick flick. Needs more red meat.
2 stars.
Ah this is soo cute!!! But sad... relationships end too often.
I would love it if a guy did this for me, If they were good musicians ofcourse haha, and if I liked them. I think the main thing is, even if the CD wasn't good, she may have called you anyway because people don't just text people they don't like... however good the music is.
May I ask... How old are you/her?
Ah some people's comments on this are pathetic.
I wanna make this thread into a movie.
Would be a really boring movie.
true.
Well not really.
ohyeah is cool, what of it?
Not to do with them, to do with first shit blog i read.
me and my coffee shop girl are going great!
