Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Enjoy yourself, first and foremost. Would you rather be home alone washing dishes? If the answer is yes, keep thinking of mundane chores until you find the one you would not want to be doing at the moment.
Step2
You see someone you think you'd like to know better. He or she blows you off. So? Pat yourself on the back for knowing that your soul mate is not necessarily hanging out in a meat market. Let it go and find someone else with better manners.
Step3
Be someone you're not - try on a new hat. Play the part of the rich spoiled girl, the alpha wolf guy, the dumb blond.
Step4
Be careful not to drink too much, in case you are approached by someone with a bad pickup line. "May I end this sentence with a proposition?" might work on you if you have tipped a few too many.
Step5
Remember, though, that as lame as pickup lines might be, the person is making an effort to show interest in you. If you are even remotely interested, laugh, say hello and begin a normal conversation.
Step6
Be polite if someone wants to talk to you and you aren't interested. If they persist, tell them you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, or that you're pregnant.
Step7
Save your flirting for when you really want to use it.

on 8/25/2007 How do I stand a chance when I am in a bar with my mate, (who isn't really much to look at) will that be a put off for girls when I approach them??

on 3/16/2006 Bars are overpriced places filled with undesirables. Why not invite some friends over and have a drink together. 6 pack Corona: supermarket: $6
bar: $30.
You do the math!
I also have never met any remotely desirable people at a bar.

on 11/22/2005 Don't pick fights with bouncers or door-staff! There is a trick to getting in a bar. It's called - wait your turn! Talking back to bouncers doesn't get you in any faster! Remember, these people are doing their jobs, often working very long hours, finishing late, and dealing with drunk people. They can be really useful if you are nice to them! They may let you in first your next visit, hail you a taxi, make sure you are safe, or chuck out that guy with the wandering hands!
Don't give them a hard time.

on 11/22/2005 You have to be the best! You have to do your hair and makeup as if you are going to the Oscars, and pick an outfit that brings out your best physical features and shows a lot of skin! Ladies, I go to work looking not so good, I go to school looking not so good, but I put ALL my effort into going out and I am VIP!
