How to pick up a librarian.

[Macgyvercas]

have you clocked her wedding finger yet? wouldn't want to pick up a girl who's married

 

[Lauren Admire]

I think the use of a monocle may be key here.

Go up and say, "Sooo, you like....books?"

This is honest advice.

Ask her what her opinion is about some random terrible book.

honestly, these two seems fairly valid, get her bitching to you are u have ur foot in the door and the above joke is pretty much perfect. i wouldnt ask her out right after using either of these. as others have said, i would see her a few times, get to know her just a bit so that she is just a lil more comfortable around you. The above quotes are good ways to get that started tho.

If it helps, just imagine a conversation pie next to her head.

Bwahahaha, brilliant! It seems so simple now just highlight the various topics until you find the one that gives her the big smile. It's so crazy it's gotta work.

"The key to success with women is confidence. The best way to get confident is to be successful with women, so most men are stuffed from the word go."
Best of luck to you. I'm hopless at this kind of thing.

Be yourself, go to the library often and let her get to know what you look like. Start up little chit chats here and their. If you are friendly with anyone in the library go to lunch with them and invite her along. The start up phase is always that most delicate.

Writing "I love you and I want your babies" on her door with your own blood is always a good ice-breaker.

I fucking lol'd

You know, the cops around my parts are looking for a man who is 6 ft tall 250 lbs incidentally.

But OT: Start with her feelings about her job, favorite books, just build from the base up

 

[goatzilla8463]

Ask her if she wants to go [enter somewhere romantic] for her break or something.

Then, build it up with talk about her and you.

the book recomendation is good, read a book she has read and tell her what you liked about it, or read a book that she wants to read and tell her your opinion about it (unspoilerish). you can do the same thing with movies, some movies drama that a found interesting are billy elliot, shine(geofrey rush) and of course the tiger and the snow.

In general just engage in conversation with her and let her know that you're pleasant to be with (for lack of a better description.)

Well, I certainly didnt expect this volume of responses. I guess, for the sake of everyone who has given advice, i pretty much HAVE to go for it now and tell you all how it went, right?

Im going to take a selection of the advice offered and bundle it all into one plan, which is as follows:

I cant really ask her for a book reccommendation, as Im writing about witchcraft in my local village. Chances are, she wont have read anything on the subject. But, already, I have a lot of books I want to look up, so I can always ask her to give me a hand ordering them in and hey presto, conversation begins! Other than that, be confident, test the water and if things go well and we strike up a rapport, ask her if she wants to go for a drink after work. You dont get if you dont ask, right?

I'll report back as soon as I have news. Thanks everyone!

 

[lava_lamp]

"So can I check you out?!"

i almost spilled my water laughing at that man

 

[BonsaiK]

Ahem I have answered this man's query in the Realtionship Problem Thread ahem cough here is the link ahem http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161 cough ahem

 

[MasterSqueak]

Ask for her number. Now. Do it.

 

[Dentedgod]

Relax and just ask her what Genre of books is her favorite. Let he conversation flow, stay relaxed and if she's receptive, ask her if she'd like to continue the conversation one night over dinner or drinks.

Honestly, I used to be shy like you. I got over it by forcing myself to just talk to random people. In the bookstore I'd make a comment on a book a someone was looking at, in the supermarket I'd make a joke about the stock. Once you do this enough, you will get comfortable striking up conversations with strangers and find yourself meeting lots of new people and a lot of them will be chicks.

Good luck bro.

 

[goatzilla8463]

Alternatively, you could just let me do it for you ; )

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

First get her talking, then ask her if she'd like a cup of coffee after her shift. As others have said, books might be a good conversation point. If she's a librarian chances are she's interested in, or possibly knowledgeable about, books. Otherwise, a library would be an odd place for her to work.

There's no foolproof advice we can give you. Every woman is different, even the librarians. If we could give you foolproof advice, well, that'd seriously violate free will, wouldn't it?

 

[sallene]

Just go for the honest, confident approach.

Say something along the lines of "I was in here the other day and couldnt help but notice you and even got a bit choked up when I went to sign up, I was wondering if you wouldnt mind going out for some tea/coffee/food sometime"

If she says no, then dont take it badly, just shrug it off and move on, trust me if she can see you can take rejection without turning into jelly or a whiny crybaby or passive aggressive jerk then it may leave the door open for a possible date later on down the line, just try to strike a rapport with her as you go in there to check out books.

 

[riskroWe]

look for books called "Breaking the ice" and "How to pick up a librarian" maybe if you give them to her with a smile she'll get the hint.

Would not advise this really but it might pay off

How to pick up a librarian:
1. Go to the library and find a book entitled "How to pick up a librarian".
2. Go home and read the book.
3. Implement the essential skills you have learned.

 

[Grand_Poohbah]

Don't try to impress here with knowledge if you don't know what you're talking about. She might blind you with library science.

First, don't seek relationship advise on a gaming and entertainment forum. Second, it sounds like you have all the skills you need already so don't follow anyone else advice but mine. just be yourself. And if anyone else says that or said that, they stole it from me, so I expect you and your 6'0" 250lb frame to go collect my royalties. Third, never tell anyone on the forums what you look like, always keep them guessing.

Oh and the easiest way to pick up a woman is to get a good grip and remember to bend at the knees.
