Post subject:  Approaching the Starbucks girl

I need some guidance on how to approach the Starbucks girl.

Here is my situation:

I frequently go to a specific Starbucks location to get some studying done. At first I never got any ideas or signs of interest from the “Starbucks girl” since the essence of customer service is to be friendly. The more I visit, our exchange of eye contacts escalate, yet our conversation didn't exceed the typical ordering procedure “how are you today what can I get for you”.

I took the summer off school so I never went to Starbucks for almost 2 months. Now I’m back in school (last semester of my MBA program) I sow her again, and the first thing she said “where have you been I haven’t seen you in a while”. So we had a small personal conversation, keep in mind I’m not a good talker, I actually froze for bit because I did not expect her to say that. Nonetheless, my last few visits I been talking to her, asking her about her weekend and stuff.

Now that I’m interested in her I start noticing that she is quite the friendly person with everyone, it seems that she knows her customer not just me.

My question would be, how would you approach such a girl in this working environment? Do you think she is interested? What opener should I use to ask her out? If you recommend to take it slow or test the water before I dive in and ask her out, what kind of approach/lines should I use?

Thanks

Since you said she is friendly with everyony, it sounds like customer service to me. But you never know so i would say test the waters some more. Open her with the same friendly conversation. Tell her about some cool activities you did over the summer and ask about hers. She might mention a boyfriend or she might not. If she does mention a boyfriend then you know she is off limits. If she doesn't mention a boyfriend and says something like "oh i just worked all summer" or "i hung out with my friends at the beach all summer" you can test her by saying something like "oh how did your boyfriend feel about you working so much" or "all summer on the beach with friends? What about your boyfriend time"

This way you can see if she is taken. If she is not then Say some false time constraint & number close

Yes she is a bubbly personality. You aren't that special, sorry. But give it a shot. ( get it ?! ha ha.)

Flirt with her, tell her you don't want to get her in trouble with management, ask her when she finishes work and slide her your business card to her and have her text/call you. Field tested and I give this move two thumbs up.
This is the best option that you have and I second that it works. I will also say it doesn't work all of the time. These women are being paid to be friendly, social, and personable because it's good customer service.

i agree with the others guys, but you can try to isolate her, ask her about the day off or the hour she gets out of work, check for some IOIs

About as close as you'll get to isolating a barista will be to find her working the bar and chatting her up while she makes your drink. ;) I game starbucks plenty.

Lolz. Oh boy.

This may not be solid game according to the pros, but it's something you can try especially if you don't want to just outright ask her out. You can guide the conversation so that it will make this statement relevant in context, but basically say "I bet your husband would hate to hear you say that." Or really anything along the lines of "I bet your husband..."

Clearly, she won't be married because you've already checked for a ring. Naturally, she'll say "I'm not married", or better "I'm single". If she says not married then say, "Er....your boyfriend rather...." then see what she says there. She'll hopefully say I don't have a boyfriend. Then you can compliment her and tell her "Why not, you're a pretty girl." A compliment in that context would probably be quite flattering, especially to a lowly barista (no offense).

This works two-fold. It lets you know if she is single or not, which is crucial. And it also allows you to test the waters a bit and see if you get some ioi's from her. If she smiles big and is like "I don't HAVE a boyfriend" and flutters her eyes at you, then that's a greenlight. If she clams up as soon as you mention husband or boyfriend and doesn't seem responsive, that's obviously not going to be a good sign. Either way, you can feel her out (so to speak) by making that little innocent comment.

Contemplate whether you want to make it awkward from now on in case it doesn't work out since this is your Starbucks. Since you're in your last semester maybe that doesn't matter to you.

Love it. A little flirty convo, then just cut right to the chase.

Seems like a lot of time has transpired without a move being made. This makes it doubly as important to not make it seem like a big deal at all if you ask her out.

Coming from a person who just got a starbucks girl earlier today and do so on a regular basis I can confirm what does work for me!

My scenario is pretty much the same as yours, every day after work, I got a coffee, made some eye contact, exchanged casual conversation.
Then for 2 months nothing as I was working at a different office which was nowhere near this starbucks.
When I went back after moving back to my usual office she made the same "i havent seen you for a while" remark.

That led to a bit of a catch up, asked how she has been e.c.t. Lucky for me there weren't may other customers and I sat up at the bar so we got to have quite a personal conversation about the past few months and what we've been up to.
If the conversation is flowing then don't stop when you've finished your coffee!!!!

Let it go on until you think it's time to seal the deal and tell her that you are not going to be in again for a while "insert your random reason here" and that you enjoyed talking to her and ask for her number so that you can meet up for a drink sometime.

If she says no, then accept it and move out - your average town centre has 15 coffee shops, there will be another one round the corner! If she gives you her number then congrats!

BTW, I've never failed with this!

7 starbucks baristas and counting.
