    I have to be cynical and suggest that she may well have just been acting as a saleswoman who knows she's pretty.

    To be honest with you dude, she's probably just being a good salesperson.

    In saying that tho, you could always ask her out, but I think your chances might be better before you buy the car

    We males are inclined to think that when a woman is nice to use, she probably also wants to make love. Like the others said, she probably used some Fe magic on you for sales purposes or was just being nice with no hidden agenda whatsoever.

    That being said, you can't know for sure, so I would just give her a call. Don't make to much fuss about it, be authentic and yourself (I know, easier said than done), say something to the effect you enjoyed talking to her and ask her if she's interested to have a drink with you. The worst thing that can happen, is that she says "no". It is not likely that she will do that in a harsh way. And if she does, just accept that and look at it as a new experience.

    You say that relationships are not your string side. Well, maybe you shouldn't worry too much about that and let her take care of that aspect. If what you say is true, don't be afraid to show that (but not talk about it too much though). Many women love guys who are not afraid to show their vulnerabilities!

    Remember the words of Dutch lingerie-designer Marlies Dekkers: Your creativity is in your vulnerability!

    Go for it, I say! Good luck!

    P.S. I WOULDN'T ask her if she has a boyfriend: it's too obvious and the answer could be embarrassing to both of you. Just boldly ask her, this will leave her space to be creative herself and come up with an elegant 'no' in case she doesn't want to have a drink. However, in that case, also be prepared for the possibility that she will accept the invitation, even though she has a boy friend.

    I'd say she was probably just doing her job, and seemingly doing it quite well. But, in the case that she would be interested in you, your best bet is to just call up there, ask for (insert chick's name here), and then tell her she was very helpful to you and that you'd like to buy her a cup of coffee or dinner to show your appreciation.
    While I'd normally say to go there yourself and ask her out in person, this can easily be a situation where she was just doing her job and you may not want to put either of you in the awkward situation that could come up if you went there instead of calling. At least on the phone she'll be able to just say no and that she is with someone or just not interested without worrying about hurting your feelings. It's a lot easier to say "not interested" when you don't have to look the person in the eye.

    Then again, think positively and maybe she'll say she'd really like that and give you her number. Which will leave you and her both all day.

    HAhaha...

    Anyways, I guess I should do some phone calls. But wait... I don't know her name. Damn!

    maybe this helps.

    it's always appreciated to be open and honest, and you don't make a fool out of yourself if you show your well meant motives.

    Tell her:

    "I would like to be honest to you, I liked the conversation and I think it would be nice if we could talk again sometime, if that is possible. If not then ofcourse no problem."

    Try to get her phonenumber.

    ps: in a book I read, this approach gives a 50% score with any single stranger you meet.

    This seems like a really good suggestion!

    Well, thank you. I think I should try something along those lines.

    Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I couldn't, even if I wanted to anyway.

    The thing is, I don't have a particular interest in the cars being sold over there and I don't know how to enter the store again without the need to talk about the cars.

    I know. I am completely aware that this is possible and may well be all there is. But the possibility that there is a mutual (or even one-sided) attraction, unsettles me and makes me want to investigate the potential for a relationship.

    Ugh..It's been my old mans catchphrase for years. Your a lot more colourful tho. Makes me think about those multi layered fruit ice lollies. You could always ask if there's any hot chicks around who would like a suck..
