So there's this girl at the Hardee's drive-thru...

[@TenaciousBe]

...and every time I drive through and she's there, I pull away clutching my chest the way Lloyd Christmas did the first time he saw Mary Swanson. She's like... the most perfect blond angel I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen a lot of cute blonds in my day.

The trouble is, she's probably like 17 and in high school, and I'm just the creepy fat 30-something dude coming for my Mushroom and Swiss.

What do I do? Is there any way at all to approach this situation without TRULY looking like a total creeper? Or do I just continue creeping from afar until she disappears from this small town life?

[DeathRay]

Easy man. Just open your eyes as wide as you can, smile and say "i love you". It always works, i swear.

[Deleted]

Well if she is 17, then you continue to creep and not tell anyone else what you just said here. You could always talk to her though and find out for sure. If she says she's under 18, then apologize and move on.

This is probably one of the most disgusting threads I've read in a while. I'm not saying you're not allowed to feel the way you do, but I'm pretty sure the best recourse is to knock it off real quick here.

[Young Game]

I was kind of in a similar situation with this girl that worked at the local Sonic.
Just gorgeous. Blonde hair with pink streaks.

I wasn't quite sure how to go about approaching her. So, in such a situation, I did what I always do; I let music help me out.
Turns out we're both big fans of Bad Religion. I found this out when she brought out my #3 and I was listening to "Stranger Than Fiction".
So we had like this little conversation about them, and...wouldn't you know it?....we ended up going out on a couple of dates.

Point is...well, I'm not quite sure. Maybe one day you'll drive up listening to a band you both like?

[Cable "Showgrill" Jones]

I'd creep from afar. Never seen a girl under 18 date a guy 9+ years her elder and not have it blow up in both parties faces. Buuuut, that's just me.

Speaking from experience, though, even if you don't want to date her I wouldn't say anything. Though flattering, it'll probably make her feel kinda uncomfortable.

...okay, I was joking about the age thing. Kinda. I do live in a small non-college town, so the majority of young people are high schoolers who haven't escaped this hellhole yet, which is why I've had zero luck dating in this town. I guess if I were Banjo, the humor in this thread would have been more apparent. lol.

rubber shark dude, that's a cool story. I have a bad habit of turning my music completely off when I go through so as not to annoy people with my crap music, but maybe I'll give that a shot sometime.

Pay her college tuition fees for her. Like Steve Martin did in that movie. I'm pretty sure it worked for him.

Sometimes the girl at the window should just stay the girl at the window.

[Brandon Walsh is Insane.]

I don't know... older women want rent paid, bills paid, and a car paid for.

High school girls just want a ticket to Six Flags.

Six Flags always wins.

Weird. I was gonna say the exact same thing.

[Predator McBroski]

Hi, I'm with Dateline NBC..

Kidding, kidding. But I don't know what to say.

*awkward silence*

[Efren]

Just be polite besides the obious, if its a wee bit packed when you arrive just comment on it simpatising to her for having such a hard work, then when you have to drive off you can say "hey, I could talk to you all day and it would feel like a second but I dont want to take you time rigth now, talk to you on a less busy day, ok.

Of course shes gonna say yes out of politeness and wanting you to drive the f*** off, that doesn't mean she actually wants to, but next time you are there depending of her reaction that can go from not even acknowledging you and acting as if she doesn't remember you, which could even be true to actually starting the conversation herself. you can judge how friendly/interested she is.

I'd start eating at Wendy's if I were you.

If their were man commandements on dating, this should be in the top ten if not #1.

[Dirty Hazy]

I'd chat her up a little bit every now and then, make small talk and hope to learn something about her. Maybe mention the local college and high school football teams and how they're doing, see which she comments on and then ask if she ever goes to any. It's a start anyways.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Well, I'd definitely start talking to her as a start. If you're just the creepy guy staring at her in your car from the drive thru, that's a lot worse than being a 30 year old who dates a 17 year old.

It's going to be pretty hard to pull off cool when you're talking to the drive thru girl in your car, but, she'll likely know you somewhat if you're there enough, so you can become familiar. Say hello......stuff like that, you know?

[i.Sarita.com]

I know a ton of high school girls who love 30 year old guys who eat too much fast food.

[Jeremy]

The Hardees just off the intersection of Badstreet and Main? I know that girl. I know her real well
