How to Meet Women at Weddings
A wedding can be a great place to meet women. Love is in the air, the event has everyone in a celebratory mood, and plenty of ladies are also on the lookout for a potential boyfriend. Dress appropriately for the occasion in a well-made suit, go light on the cologne, and decide to enjoy yourself whether you land a date for next Saturday night or not.

Sit next to a woman you find attractive at the ceremony. Introduce yourself, offer how you know the couple---"Hi, I'm Bob, the groom's old college roommate"---and ask her how she's affiliated with them. You can do the same at the rehearsal dinner if the seating isn't assigned.

Request that the bartender send a drink to a woman who catches your eye. If she accepts the drink, walk over and say hello. If you don't get a vibe that she's interested after a few minutes of conversation, politely move on.

Ask the cute bridesmaid to dance with you. If you're not a good fast dancer, wait for a slow number---you don't want to unintentionally give her something to laugh about.

Join in the contest when the groom throws the garter he's taken off his bride's leg for the single men to catch. You can show you're a respectful guy by obeying her request not to go too high, and the two of you will have something to laugh about afterward.

Request an introduction when you see a friend chatting with the maid of honor that you'd like to get to know better. It helps break the ice and keeps the conversation going in a lighthearted manner.

Offer your lighter or a cigarette to the bride's pretty second cousin when you step outside for a smoke. It's one of the easiest ways to start chatting up someone.

Ask the sexy redhead you saw across the room if she knows where the bathroom (or the bar, or the smoking area, or the gazebo) is. Come back and find her afterward and tell her you want to get her a drink to thank her for her help.

Tips & Warnings
Circulating is one thing, but don't be a hound when it comes to meeting people. A man who makes an obvious beeline to every available woman in the room is a major turnoff. Check your appearance before you approach someone. Chew a breath mint, comb your hair, fix your tie and splash some water on your face if you've been perspiring. Be confident, not cocky. When you tell your prospective new girlfriend that you're a doctor, don't hammer the point home by telling her you graduated third in a class of 200. She'll already be impressed. Stay sober. Have a drink to loosen up, then wait a while. Don't ruin a good impression by getting totally bombed by the end of the reception.
