Maybe ask her if she'd like to go out for coffee, or maybe lunch?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Of all these guys it's you she desires
Secretly her heart is on fire
Waiting for you to ask her to dance
Go ahead, make your move...now's your chance

is the answer to the question... ask

but make sure she is not married or has a boyfriend.

Hell yeah ask her out.

Give her something with a card thanking her for being such a good pharmacist, that since you are new in town it's nice to see a friendly face.

and that would leave you no worse off than you are if you never ask her at all.

So ask her!

Some forty years ago, I was introduced to one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen, and I figured wow, too bad I'd never have a chance with a woman like that. But since I had nothing to lose, I started talking to her. We have been together now for 40 years.

So ask her!

how impressed you are with her observation and compassion and then ask her, is she able to do that with all the customers or do some just stand out? Her answer may give you some insight into whether she's just a really nice human being or if she's just nice to you.

all or some customers may be a little off-putting. To me it would imply that she isn't a nice person at times. While that may be true, there's no need to suggest it.

Why not simply say you are really impressed by the way she treats you (the words "thank you" might be included) and omit all references to other people? Then ask her if she'd like to have coffee or lunch. The first date doesn't have to be a "DATE" date.

And as Peggy says, "nothing ventured, nothing gained". You don't want to be wondering in 10 years time "What if....".

I didn't mean to go in there and insult her. I meant to mentally script a compassionate compliment about her exemplary work and open up a conversation.

if she says no, and blushes, well.....

it also gives her an easy out if she is just being nice because she treats customers that way and keeps things from being awkward in the future.

What's the worst that can happen and what's the best?

really, dude. Ask her.

Chat her up and ask her out. Worst thing that happens she says no, and you slink away to another pharmacist!

You must tell us the end of the story.

I feel a lot more comfortable about the idea now though.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

No regrets.

it's an idea that just occurred to you) if she'd like to go out for coffee some time. If she says yes, suggest a day and time. If she seems flustered or says, "Um, gee, I don't know, I'm pretty busy..." then move on.
