Help me learn origami. Want to impress my crush at Whole Foods

I'm back.

Wow this thread blew up.

I was going to post a pic of my progress with an origami flower design I found.. but yeah... I'm having second thoughts after reading through the feedback. Some interesting posts aside, there is some really good constructive criticism from posters which I do actually appreciate. Thanks.

To answer a recurring question, no the person is not Asian lol. You can breathe Era lol.
Pretty sure she's Romanian or Russian. Eastern European. I think she's great, I like her :)
But I have to face up to the fact that there's no way my plan is great or would be acceptable as I earlier envisioned.. its fun learning how to do something new at least (origami).

Hi Era! Here is my flower + basket after practicing a bit.

Ta daa :)

To reiterate, no I am not gonna give it to the cashier. If I'm fortunate enough to be in a relationship maybe then lol.
Still had a lot of fun learning to make this! :)

She was working the register today when I came through. I only asked her if she had any fun weekend plans. She got pretty excited and started telling me about a hike and camping spot she is visiting with her boyfriend..

My response was basically like "oh that sounds awesome, I hope you have a good time!" (inside I was kicking myself but thanking the gods I didn't bring origami)

Then she asked "What about you?" and my response was a bit of a mess I think lol. I said I was gonna relax and play some video games (sigh) I guess I could have mentioned I'm learning origami too, but oh well.. she's taken, that's that

Silver lining, I was able to discover this organically and without making her uncomfortable I assume

Don't ask a customer service person on a date at their workplace. Thanks.

Please leave her alone. She isn't there to be hit on, she's there to work.

You gotta know when to fold 'em

It's like, there's nothing wrong with asking someone on a date per se, but there's appropriate times and places for that, not during their work shift with an origami crane.

I'm glad the OP realized this was no bueno but still learned how to do a cool craft. Just in general, don't ask out people at work.
