I just turned thirty. I'm good looking, and I'm a graduate student that works at a restaurant and a part time soldier. There is a patron (customer) that comes into my restaurant. Every time she comes in I have a 100% photographic memory of what she orders. On top of that, I always buy her a drink or two when she comes in. She appreciates me, and she smiles at me. A few times in the past I think it was obvious that I acted nervous around her. I once asked her if she was on Facebook, but she said her Facebook was private and she would request my friendship. My intention was to ask her out, but I panicked and thought Facebook would be an ease in request. She never did, but she did sit in my section a week later. As always I gave her special attention. I sometimes see her look at me from a distance. I can't figure out if this is because she likes me or likes me as a waiter. Her smiles are genuine, and believe me when I say that I've given her special attention. On DJ night, I would go to the DJ and play her favorite Michael Jackson. I think of myself as like a 7 and her as a 9. She is a little younger than me, but she is slightly more successful than me. I want to know how I should approach getting her number of giving her mine. I am so interested in her, but I'm so fearful of rejection. I almost want to be her friend first and have her get to know me outside of my restaurant job. Please give me your best and honest feedback.

Thanks

Ask her if she would like to exchange numbers, or if you know her name, you send her a friend request on face book
