I (31M) want to ask out barista…Help

I go to this coffee place 1-2x per day for several years. She’s been there at least a year. We have a very friendly banter. She looks to be early to mid 20s. Over the year she’s opened up more and so have I. I see her maybe a few times per week based on her schedule. Im normally pretty good with picking up vibes a girl gives me. Pretty sure she thinks I’m cute. No idea if she’s available though. But the number one sign is lingering eyes whenever she gives me coffee. So, I don’t want to put her on the spot while she’s at work…there are two possible ways I go about this…

  1. Ask if she wants to grab dinner/drinks/whatever sometime. Maybe ask if she’s been to a specific restaurant. The problem here is if she’s busy at work I’m not sure she’d be comfortable giving out the digits??

  2. Give her my business card (could be perceived as tool-ish) but it’s quicker and I can tell her to reach out or stay in touch. I’m starting a business so not sure I’ll be at that coffee shop too much longer as it’s not on my work route. The ball is in her court.

If she wasn’t at work I’d ask for number but the fact that she’s working I’m not sure she’d get in trouble giving out her number. Ladies…which would you prefer? Assuming you’re into the guy and at work. Any advice is greatly appreciate!

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
