| Hi everyone, Due to my being silly, I've kind of gotten myself into a (slight) pickle. EDIT: TL;DR version How do I get into contact with a waitress that I had chemistry with? I think I might like her, but what should I say when I call the restaurant? I don't know her name... (Please read the last paragraph!) I'm 25, and I've been working abroad. I recently came home for the first time in just over a year and a half. My sister and brother-in-law wanted to treat me to dinner, so we went out tonight. The waitress at the restaurant was quite friendly, and whenever she passed by she seemed to be smiling at me. I thought I might have felt something, like some sort of spark or connection but dismissed the thought because I'm usually quite dense with these things. Plus, it's hardly uncommon for restaurant staff to be friendly. Unfortunately, she wasn't wearing a nametag, so I thought I might be able to find out her name from the bill, but I didn't want to let my sister know what I was thinking (she's got a big mouth, and probably would have made fun of me for who knows how long). However, the two of them wouldn't even let me see the bill, let alone leave a tip. When the waitress came by with the bill, she asked me if I wanted to pay at the front. I wasn't sure why, and since I wasn't even paying, my brother-in-law said that they'd just pay at the table. They were taking their time with the money, and she came back again to ask me if we'd just be paying at the table, which we all thought was a little weird. After the meal was paid for and we were ready to leave, she came over and told me that she was sorry she couldn't spend more time on our table, but that she hoped we had a good night. The two of us exchanged a few kind words, and we left. As we headed for the door, my sister asked me, "why'd she keep talking to you?" to which my brother-in-law replied, "weren't you paying attention? She likes him! She had her eyes on him all night." I was shocked, to say the least. Perhaps it all hadn't been my imagination?! I then realised that maybe she had wanted to talk to me alone, which is why she asked me if I'd be paying at the front. Anyway, here's my dilemma. I'm thinking that I'd like to get in touch with the waitress, but I don't know to. I was thinking that I would just call the restaurant, but I'm not sure what to say. I remember what she looks like, but I don't know her name. Should I be honest to whoever answers the phone? What reason should I give for wanting to talk to her? I could call and say that I'm a friend, or just pretend I forgot her name and describe her or something... but then that just seems silly (and possibly creepy?) Of course, I might luck out and she might answer, but I don't even know if she'll be working. I'm planning on calling around the same time we went last night. Since I just got back, I don't have a car yet and my license has expired! I might not get a car for a while, and the restaurant is a bit out of the way. I'd prefer to leave my nosy sister out of this for now. Does anyone have any advice? I'm really sorry for this ridiculously long thread for such a silly topic. Thanks a lot! | |||
