How to pick up a librarian.

Note, everyone that the chap mentioned that the girl didn't have a ring on the first page.

Girls dont find shyness attractive.
They dont.
Your goal is to be self confident, but not a dick.
Whenever you feel nervous, just think "What would James Dean do?"

I prefer to ask "What would MacGyver do?"
Well, either MacGyver or James Bond

I agree 100%, but i feel it could backfire in this situation. Deflecting an ballistic missile using nothing but a fine mesh, a bag of rice and willpower might not be the most effective pick up tactic.

There's been over 100 replies, but I'll put in my 2 cents.
When you loan a book, smile, say hi, be nice enough that she'll smile when she sees coming through the doors. After that is accomplished, start having more small talk with her while checking out books (asking her to personally help you find one would create the best window of opportunity).

When she knows you're friendly, simply ask her what time she gets off and ask her out for a cup of coffee. It's really not as hard as most people would make you believe. Confidence is the most important thing.

Clashero speaks wise words, heed them OP.

Thanks for the support.
I mainly know about it because that's precisely how I picked up the video rental girl who works close to where I live (subtituting books for movies. Turned out she was a zombie flick lover <3)

Just be yourself, and if that doesn't work try being someone else. Like batman or something.

"Hi, I'm X. You seem nice. Would you like go out sometime?"
If not, sellene's suggestion was excellent.

You are SO asking in the wrong place buddy, really, go ask somewhere where the advice is better than 'talk and ask for a date'

But... really, what else is there?

Wait until she notices that you've been staring at her for the last hour?

There are people who know a lot more about this stuff than the people here, relationships don't always happen by accident.

To break the ice: Just go straight up and ask to go out "for a coffee" or somethig.
The worst that can happen is a "no". Personally, I think its harder for me to begin a relationship with a friend tha a randomer.

Odd. I saw this girl reading Watchmen and something by Orwell in the library before Christmas. Became mildly infatuated. Turns out I vaguely knew her already. And now we're going out. Libraries are great ^^
