In love after very brief encounter

[Grape]

On Sunday morning I was on my way out of town with some friends for a couple of days mountain biking. We stopped in at a Tim Hortons restaurant for some breakfast, but I hate the food there so just for a lark I decided to order a single timbit.

Anyways, I've fallen in love with the girl at the counter who served me. She had to resolve some problem with her till before she could take my order so I had a couple minutes where I had nothing to do but stand there and admire her...

I've spent three days now trying to decide whether I ought to phone the restaurant one morning, ask to speak to her, and see if she'd like to do something together some time. It just seems like a completely ridiculous idea, so I haven't got the nerve up yet, but I really want to call her. I'm not sure what I'd say, lol. And with every passing day it seems like the conversation would be an even harder sell. Should I ask her to lunch? a matinee? walk on the beach? [please share your ideas]

Another consideration that makes it all even more farfetched is that she's about an hour away from the town where I live (or at least the Tim Hortons I met her at is). So I can't even just frequent the place casually and try to get to know her that way, eventually asking her out. It's kinda an all-or-nothing scenario.

Please advise! I can't shake her out of my head. I'm infatuated.

Girls get hit on *all* the time in those situations: coffee barristas, sales clerks, flight attendants, waitresses... its hard to know if a guy is actually serious or just flirting.

So, somehow you need to get the point across you are serious but keeping in mind she might either not be interested, or might be seeing someone already.

How old are you? Are you a student or are you working? If you are working, you might consider going back at a time that isn't too busy and ask her out. Be sincere. Then leave your b-card w/a contact number or email. If she is interested, she can always contact you.

Whatever you do, you'll have to leave the ball in her court, so don't get your hopes up.

You should ask her out in person though, if you haven't talked to her (other than "Yes, thats my coffee, thanks") and she doesn't know your name it is practically as though she gets called up on by a complete stranger who she doesn't even know the looks of.
