    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.

    I guess I 'm left with having to go there, hah? In that case, how do I approach her? If a keep doing car-talk it would be unfair and pointless, wouldn't it? I could go ahead and ask her out or something, but I don't think I have the guts and I 'd feel to embarrassed.

    A car salesperson that didn't give her business card herself, just to make sure you get back to her in case you decide to come back and cash the sales bonus?? You know what this means??

    Or is my imagination running wild here??

    oh gawd these situtions have happened to all of us. Those sales people can be so damn charming and you just cant seperate them doing their job and liking you. Happens to me with See's. They get me every time.

    Anyway trust you're instincts and give it a go. The perfect advice has already been given i think.

    No problemo. Youre not the first, lol. People have thought I am a girl, or a black guy... I don't care, i just find it funny sometimes cause I have no clue where it comes from.

    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.

    I don't usually give much attention to motives. Who cares about my motives anyways, not even me. Actions and results/consequences are more important to me.

    (Anyway, thanks for the tip.)

    Just go for it. If she blows you off you'll never see her again anyway.

    Go for it dude. If she's not interested it ain't the end of the world. Just means she's frigid haha

    Well guys, I went there today. She was there, but I didn't get the chance to talk to her, unfortunately. She was with a customer when I entered. She saw me but didn't react in any way. There was this stupid sales guy I came across instead and got stuck with him the whole time. I stayed there for about an hour, looking at the cars and talking to the guy, waiting to get the chance to talk to the girl, but I didn't. We made a short eye contact a couple of times. I wanted to at least say hello or something but I didn't find the right moment (and I didn't feel like waving my hand to greet her or do some ridiculous acrobation ). What I realized was that she 's (probably) the same with everyone and she was just doing her job. I mean she spent as much if not more time with her current customer as she did with me the other day... (they were still talking when I quit)

    I don't think she's interested, I don't think she even remembers me, my friend thinks she 's probably married, but I think I 'll give it another try because, I AM interested, I do remember her and I hope she's not married.

    What do you think?

    by the way, I still don't know her name, and I don't see how I could show up there again without being ready to actually buy a car.

    This seems like a really good suggestion!
