So, everyone goes to the bar to socailize, hang out with friends and meet new people. The meeting new people thing can be exciting, fun, and for some intimidating. I was thinking about this because I meet new people all the time without a problem, but I do know some people that just don't know how to go about it.
This is for all you folks that just don't know how to get it done but want to!
These are some basic rules of engagement:
Don't be too eager , if you see someone interesting you may want to check them out for a minute, they may be taken. Don't be obvious though
Be yourself when you approach someone, if you aren't authentic the person will probably notice something is off, not know what it is, and blow you off!
Don't be creepy, or use horrible pick up lines, you will not get a very good response.
Make sure your breath is ok and if it's not, grab a lemon from the bar and suck on it, bad breath is not cool... niether is B.O.
Smile, have something to say, whether it be a joke or observation, wit goes a LONG way
Don't talk too much about yourself, ask questions that require more than a yes, no answer. Oh and when you do talk have something a least moderately interesting to say.
If you get past the initial hello, offer to buy the person a drink, no strings attatched, buying a person a drink doesn't mean you own them!
Tip your server or bartender, the other person will notice generosity, which should be a quality of yours anyway, and really the bartender has the power to ruin your chances, we see all!
If you can dance, and there is good music, suggest doing so, it's fun!
If all goes well...Give the person your number, they may not be comfortable enough to offer theirs up. Refrain from offering your place for the night, it's much more rewarding to get to know the person on a different level before you spend the night with them!
But if the alcohol just won't let you wait for another day.... USE A CONDOM!
