So you are single and heading out for a night on the town in hopes of meeting someone new. Bars can be good places to meet people, but keep in mind these few tips.
Show Interest Usually, when guys hit the bars, they are with a group of buddies and likewise, the women are usually in small groups. Sometimes, this can be a tough scenario for picking up women. You don’t want to crash a group of women and seem rude especially if you can’t tell if the woman you have your eye on is interested. Remember, the likelihood of a woman approaching you in a bar is slim to none. They are waiting for the guy to make the first move. Yes, you might occasionally come across a girl who approaches you, but chances are slim. When she looks over, smile, act confident and appear like you are having a good time. Acting drunk or being overly drunk will not help you pick up women in bars. Next try to move your group closer to the group of women and continue having a good time with your guy friends. In a casual way, keep making confident glances at the woman you are trying to meet in the bar.
Strike up a Conversation Now that you have moved closer to the women you want to talk to, try to strike up a conversation. If there are sports on in the background, ask them who their team is, where they went to college – try to find common ground. If it’s a quieter place, maybe try to inadvertently stand or sit near them, and start with a simple “hi.” That will break the ice and hopefully get the conversation moving. Remember, proximity is important. Don’t stand on the other side of the bar expecting things to happen. Move closer to them – your chances of talking to them are better. Having a camera on you is a great ice breaker. Ask the woman to take a group picture of you and your buddies. Women think this is cute, and it’s a great ice breaker. Again, the key is getting closer to the women you like in order to start a conversation and get things moving.
Don’t be Afraid to Ask for their Number So you are talking to this great woman and you’d like to see her again. The phone number exchange in bars can be awkward. Women are likely not going to ask for your number. So you must ask if you feel like it’s going well. Women may be more likely to give out an email address. It’s less invasive and in today’s day and age, it’s common. So ask for a number or email address.
Don’t let the chance of meeting a great woman pass you by – be confident and not afraid to face rejection – not every woman in the bar is the right one for you, but it’s worth a try!
