Just Hugh Grant it:

“Em,em,em…….gosh, I wonder. No, what am I thinking of! Do,do, do you, would, would would you? No, of course not. Anyway, lovely to meet you. Have a nice day!”

It always seems to work for him.

It works for him cuz he’s Hugh grant and famous.

If you look like Hugh you most likely don’t need to be famous for it to work.

"Alwight guv'na, me old China. How's about coming out with me for a Ruby and a bo'l o' wa'er, I'll give you a bell on the dog 'n' bone? I'll drive us, cos I'm not a bus wanker."

As a British girl, this would do it for me every time.

Nitpick: just say ‘on the dog’ (or on the molly) just as you only used the first part for ruby or china.

Is she from southern England, particularly around near London/the South East? If so, it's likely she said "proper peng", which means she finds you very attractive.

Is that slang still in use? I havnt heard it in about 15 years lmao

I mean we still sue it occasionally in an ironic kinda way. It's one of those relics of a nostalgic time for us 😂

Joey Essex popularised it in TOWIE. Probably an Essex/Kent/East London thing.

That would explain why I’ve never heard that term at all. I do everything I can to avoid those nobodies.

Alarmed-Newspaper994@reddit

Not heard it for a long time in the South, this whole situation has a whiff of bullshit. What kind of adult asks how to ask someone out like this?

Martin_y1@reddit

Update us ,.lol..as someone suggested , just invite her for lunch at weatherpeoons .

Nothing's quiet in the us but she's coming over in 2 hours to listen to music and chill

Don’t try flirty slang. Just be yourself. Be friendly and confident but not arrogant. Don’t try too hard or you’ll scare her off. If she’s interested in seeing you she’ll let know with body language. Then ask her to meet up with you outside work and see what happens.

We live in trailers at work she's in the next room

Try the flirty slang, she will love it!

NoTrifle834@reddit (OP)

Don't know any

Don’t use slang or try to fake being cool. MovingTarget has it right - just be you. Go to her, maybe when she‘s away for other people if you’re unsure and simply ask her. Have some ideas in your head of where to go and what to do, nothing too flashy as it’s only a first date but not crap either. Make it nice and comfortable for you both.

Also, for curiosity, what work do you do where you live in trailers?
