Girl who did time in customer service here.
A wink is a good sign. Asking is ok IF IT'S NOT BUSY. But maybe ask for her social media to follow instead or fb friend, it's just less aggressive and ya'll can talk first.
If she says no (even a soft no like "ooh idk I don't really friend ppl I don't know" be chill, upbeat and friendly. "Oh sure! Just thought I'd ask. I hope you have a great day!". It will go a long way towards making it a positive experience instead of another 'men are miserable to girls just doing their jobs' experience.
I don't actually have any social media. I used to, but I don't like it. I tend to use the phone or email to talk to people.
Is it weird to ask her out to lunch/dinner or something?
It's weird-er. Every girl is different but I would be happier to have conversations with someone before going out? But I also know I'm terminally online.
Asking out to a public low pressure space near where she works (so you know she can get there) is better than asking for a phone # imo tho. Lunch or a coffee?
But it's the latter bit that's really important. The be chill/friendly if she says no. Usually nobody is mad about someone just asking. They get mad about the *pressure*. The "Why not? You got plans? a bf? I can pick you up. Can I get your number then? No? wow what a b***h. No you just lead me on, smiling at me. Being friendly. I though I saw you wink. ******** you. It was a compliment, why are you looking at me like that? You should be flattered. I'm telling your manager about this. c**t.".
If you want girls to be chill about getting asked out, the askers gotta be chill with hearing no. No manipulation, no pressure, no pissy mood, just move on. If everyone did that and didn't ask when it was busy almost nobody would be mad about getting asked out at work.
