Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Step1
Try to enjoy the process, and accept that there are risks. Homerun leaders are frequently also strikeout leaders.
Step2
Avoid the wolf pack. Don't travel with a group of predators and expect to meet a nice person looking for a quiet time.
Step3
Be yourself. Sounds simple but apparently isn't. Most people are looking for a fun, intelligent, easygoing, levelheaded sort. Women aren't as impressed by flashy clothes, monster trucks, and sports victories as most men think.
Step4
Take your time. Don't rush up to your target, but don't wait around for hours either. If you've just arrived, have a seat and relax for a few minutes. Check to see if the person does, in fact, need a drink, or if he or she already has one. If you get an encouraging look, head over.
Step5
If there's a surefire pickup line in the world, the inventor is keeping it secret. Try "Hello." Look for a wedding ring.
Step6
Introduce yourself. If you don't get a response, you should probably forget it.
Step7
Offer to buy a drink. If the person agrees, you have the basis for a conversation about drink choices.
Step8
If your target is part of a group, be sure to acknowledge the rest of the group and include them in the conversation. If you don't, the group may close ranks and cut you off.

on 12/29/2007 I was been standing at the bar (the club was packed) a man insisted that I take his seat and then asked if he could buy me a drink, I said, I'm fine, but thank you, and a few minutes later another man came up to me and said Hi, my name is Bill, are you new here?" I said not to the area, but the first time to this club. That's how our conversation started, and to make a long story short, we are married and have been together for 12 years. Both men were very sweet and handsome, so I think that something else happens, something just clicks I guess. The last thing on my mind that night was to meet a future husband.

on 7/14/2006 Don't buy a women a drink, it doesn't work. What you are communicating by buying a women a drink is that your company alone is not enough, and that you must pay for her attention. There are tons of guys who buy women drinks. Attractive women have guys buying them drinks all the time. By buying a women a drink you are placing yourself in the category of "every other guy." Women of particular beauty are approached many times every day. Do something different, be unique and save your money.
