"She has twice called me regarding the bank's offerings" -Banks called him? Do they do that?
That was probably the best time to ask her out. But sure, go in and ask for her and more details on why she called, then ask her out.

'"She has twice called me regarding the bank's offerings" -Banks called him? Do they do that?'

I've been called a couple of times by a very pretty blond at my local bank concerning my account and the bank's offerings. I'm absolutely certain she has no interest in a personal relationship with me. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and sometimes a business call is just a business call

I'm a little perplexed over how she can form an attachment merely be hearing the voice.

On the other hand, she does have his banking information.

Sounds like he MET her, THEN she called twice. I do not see that she needs to put a face to a voice, etc. Go in, see her, talk to her, ask her out privately without witnesses. Then see what happens.

Never got a call, from either of mine, except once concerning a mistake on a check. Sounds like a really inefficient way of doing it, unless it's a sevice only useable by a handfull of people. e-mail, snail mail, seem much better.

OP here. Most of the comments on Creators amounted to Fuggedaboutit, which I did. I met the woman when I was setting up a bank account then she called me twice to make sure I was taking advantage of the services, not just to sell me stuff.

I saw on TV a few years ago where a NYC subway rider approached an attractive young woman stranger to introduce himself, and on the show they were planning their wedding, so initially I thought of using that as inspiration for confirmation bias.

Part of what I wrote over there makes it look I spend too much time in my own head (I do), but it touches on a dilemma. I recently met my friend's wife's sister, and both women have gone out of their way to make it clear that the sister digs me. I know, everyone should have this problem. I think she's perfectly nice, yada yada yada, but have no desire to pursue her. I wouldn't mind spending some horizontal time with her, but that's not my style and I don't want to lead her on. I've never been good at rejecting people; I nearly got physically ill the one and only time I had to fire someone. How can I handle this?

Her interest IS wholly professional. I work at a bank. I can guarantee that LW is just one out of hundreds on her call list. She is calling the LW because she is trying to meet her sales goals. This is standard practice in the industry. Don't read too much into it.

Ive gotten these type of calls from my bank before, as well as from other service providers--it's pretty common. The bank might require salespeople to make X number of followup calls to new customers, or they may be trying to promote awareness of particular offerings. Thats not to say she couldnt be interested, but I wouldnt take the calls in and of themselves as an indication of interest.

Also, keep in mind that people in the sales /customer industry often come across as friendly/attentive/flirty because that's part of the job, and because outgoing, extroverted people gravitate towards those type of jobs. Again not to say there's nothing there, but it's wise to take it with a grain of salt before you assume the waitress is hitting on you, etc

Shannon and Commodus may be right. There's only one way to find out and you have nothing to lose.

Regardless of whether she's hitting on him or not, if he's interested in asking her out, Amy's advice is solid.
