How do you ask out a girl...

What I wrote was for this specific situation, but I don't really think there is one set way to ask out a girl. Each situation and girl varies and you need to play it by ear. IMO it is always better to get to know the girl first though. She very well could have lied about the boyfriend because she doesn't know you and didn't want to hurt your feelings.

But again, the situation varies. For situations like this it is tough. It isn't like it was a bar and you could sit down at on a stool and strike up a conversation. She has customers to deal with and it would be kind of rude to do it when she has work to do. You'd have to wait until she would be alone with no one in the store and buy something and then strike up a convo. After a handful of visits, you go back and buy something and then talk for a bit and ask her if she'd like to go to a movie some time or something. She'd probably get the picture from the get-go if you go in there often to chat with her. She'd most likely know you liked her.

But ultimately, I don't think anyone on this board can give you universal advice on how to ask out the girl. Each situation is completely different, and you also have to get a read on the girl's personality and what might work best. Whatever you do though, just be yourself when you ask out a girl. Don't do something out of your character because then you'll have to start trying to be a different person just to fit what she wants and that is not something you want to do. Also, to prevent nervousness, just remember that logically there is nothing to really be nervous about. It isn't like you are doing high-risk brain surgery and if you mess up someone dies. There are a million girls out there and if the girl says no, then it is for the best anyway.

How ya doing, buddy?
