Posted: 10/2/2009 9:09:27 AM | "Hey Jess, some stranger just came in and says he wants to talk to you."
You: "Hi, wanna go grab coffee sometime?"
Her: "Okay"
You: "Great, what's your number?"
Her: "Oh! A customer just pulled up, can you wait for my manager to kick you out while I take his order?" | |

Posted: 10/2/2009 12:40:58 PM | ya it would be very impractical and moronic to go inside.. remember people these are young people.. no need for that romantic going inside and meeting in person during her shift when she's supposed to be working and not talking to customers shit.. besides most girls i know would think that is desperate, stalkerish, or weird
just slip her your number and name and if she thinks you're cute she will call. | |

Posted: 10/2/2009 1:03:29 PM | OP I like the note idea.
If you carry yourself inside, as suggested by other posters, you may not get a chance to talk to her... she's working the window, not the counter!
I think the flower idea might cause her some embarrassment, I would save the flowers for when you go out on an actual date. | |

Posted: 10/16/2009 10:10:34 PM | When I was growing up, my best friend's sister would get asked out through the drive through all the time. Be a man, go in there regularly, not through the drivethrough. Work up a repore with her.
If I've seen my friend score a date with a KFC employee on the fly, I'm sure you can do it too! | |

Posted: 10/16/2009 11:06:16 PM | "threw" is the past tense of the verb to throw.
i know the word "drive thru" is spelled incorrectly to begin with (instead of drive through) but come ON!
For this reason, I would deeeeeeeeefinately suggest talking to her instead of leaving a note (to get around embarassing yourself by misspelling words or mixing up homonyms.) | |

My first part-time job (well, where I wasn't self-employed) was working at Tim Horton's when I was 17. This *exact* same thing happened to me!
The man was SUPER suave with me. Almost too confident. He was throwing out lines left, right, and center. His only saving grace was that he'd told me he'd wanted to ask me out several times before, meaning his rare attraction to the horrible Tim Horton's get-up wasn't based solely on that day's encounter.
Anyway, I don't know if it was just because I was 17, or if I just really didn't feel comfortable around him, but the fact that he was so smooth turned me off. I think it would still today.
My advice: Ask her at the window. State *why* you're interested without sounding like an ass. Read her body language. If she looks a little nervous, back off.
 Wow...de'ja' vu!! | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 7:11:35 PM | WAYYYY back in the day I used to work at a drive-thru schlepping Blizzards at Dairy Queen....
You get to know your regulars especially if they introduce themselves. Maybe you should slowly peak her interest.
Day One: Say good morning and comment on how polite she is (believe me...drive thru schleppers remember the compliments)
Day Two: Ask her how she is doing
Day Three: Tell her that it makes your day when she is in the drive thru
Day Four: Introduce yourself and ask for her name
Day Five: Give her your number or ask her to meet for a drink etc.
She will remember you if you are always polite and say something nice. The longest relationship I ever had was with someone that I didn't even remember his name the first three times he told me because I was at work. He didn't give up and was always polite and said something nice.
Good Luck! | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 12:37:32 AM | Hmm this is the equivalent of those bar maids I've been having late night conversations with....they all look good after a certain time, tattooed, bald with thick eye liner. Are you sure you're not drunk on too much donut? Do you get special treatment with your eclair? How's you dipping into that Boston Cream?
Seriously, you're on to a good thing....thinking of slipping something the next time I get a drink. You've just given me an idea... | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 1:00:45 AM | | Simple, when she's asking if you want condements.. catchup, sugar, sweetener, etc. you add "...and your number." If she's single & interested, she'll include that with your order. | |

lol this was exactly what I was thinking, that's uncanny.
On a side note, there's also always the "I'd love to chat for a while, when do you get off work?" | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 3:08:54 PM | It's spontaneous, I say give it a shot at the drive-thru window, but NOT when it's incredibly busy.
Plus, as mentioned, that way it's not happening in front of her co-workers, etc., putting her on the spot.
Most places I've been to that have a drive-thru seem to have that area located such that it's inconvenient to see or talk to someone there from anyplace the customer can get to, so I'd suggest against trying inside. | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 3:20:36 PM | | Let's see, we have drive thru banking, drive thru pharmacies, drive thru burgers, drive thru laundry... ........................now we have drive thru dating ? C'mon man, park the car and go inside. Tell them that the drive thru attendant took a bite out of yer donut before she gave it to you and you'd like to discuss it with her if possible. | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 9:27:24 PM | | can you say stalker? You are in a car free to drive away-she works there, and if not interested in you has to deal with the fact that you are a customer who she has to serve regardless. I don't think this is a good plan at all-Since she's the 'captive' hostess to you, her customer, let her be the one to take the initiative, NOT the other way around | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 11:45:28 PM | I don't see her as a 'captive hostess' at all. You're in a drive-thru. Drive-thrus tend to be busy.
When she comes back with your change, a simple, "This really isn't the time to get to know you, but I think you're cute and I want to take you out for coffee or a drink sometime. Here's my number," and hand her your number with your name on it. It's honest, to the point, and lets her know that you're not going to block the drive-thru by sitting there and trying to hit on her.
Just slipping numbers rarely got me anywhere unless I verbalized my intentions. Some people view it as shy (a smaller few find it endearing), but the vast majority will find not talking as a sign of insecurity, and some may even view it as creepy (as this thread has shown). | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 3:44:40 AM | Learning how to spell "through" first might impress her.
Yeah, that's a good point..
Let's see, we have drive thru banking, drive thru pharmacies, drive thru burgers, drive thru laundry... ........................now we have drive thru dating ?
You forgot drive thru, or should I say through, weddings..
And hey, why not? If I see a lady , and want to get to know her, I would just ask her out right there..What is wrong with that?
I think if you do go inside, most likely she won't be able to talk to you anyway.
Just make sure she has a lower body, since you can't see that through that little window.
Or just say it into the microphone..I'll have two glazed donuts, and your number..
Course make sure the one you want to ask out is working at the window..
Better yet, since it's a drive THREW, just attach your number to something, and throw it inside..LOL | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 4:54:52 PM | Well as long as we are correcting people's spelling (of drive-thru, or drive-through, NOT drive threw)... how about this one:
Work up a repore with her.
It's rapport. Look it up. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 5:15:03 PM | Not a good idea at all. The corporate fast food chains time and record that, and it reflects on the management.
It's not a good idea to hit on someone while they're at work, if they're a conscientious employee they won't be receptive. Even in hospitality, they pay attention as waitstaff to give the customer a positive experience, it's all about the $$. That's why they were hired, it's their JOB.
Trying to hit on someone in a drive-thru? Don't waste THEIR time. It's a lot of pressure, it's usually a manager over prime time hours and they're managing a staff of 15, production, expediting and taking orders while they're giving you correct change.
Go park your car and find another venue to hit on women that are in a social venue, there to interact. And don't assume they all went there to interact with you.
If you're that lazy you can only hit on women that way, noone here can help you. Leave the foodservice workers alone. They're being polite, because that's what they're trained to do.
Let people who ARE at work....WORK!
They'll be laughing about you, if they remember.
If you know her OUTSIDE of her work...then approach her there. Slipping a number when you pay...it's happened. It's still not a good idea, if the off work venue she hasn't indicated any interest, chances are overwhelming there is none.
I have kids your age, 2 daughters....don't hone your "approaching women" skills that way. | |
