Or the simple solution "Hi I'm XXX" and they usually reply with their name. Then to get the number say I've gotta get to class/work but can I call you later today so we can finish talking. Or you can also say you will be at XXX bar tonight for $1 beers around 9 with your friends if her and her friends would like to join.
Friends makes things more complicated. You have to sell all your friends to all her friends instead of just selling yourself.

$1 beer night makes you look cheap and you want to get her ass drunk.

Don't cut the convo short just because you get a number.

Uhhh You just met the girl and talked to her for a few minutes minutes so inviting her to meet you a public place that requires spending very little money is a very easy situation for both parties to deal with socially and financially. (A bar on $1 beer night was just an example).

Having friends along helps break the ice since you dont know her, and if her friends are also there she will feel more comfortable.

You broke the ice with the original conversation. Bringing friends into the picture doens't help the situation; it almost makes it too casual; will likely end up with your buddies talking or her friends talking and you two not getting to know each other.

For a financially friendly date...try going for a coffee, a walk, out for ice cream or something along those lines. Movies suck as you don't get to talk to the person and the movie will occupy the conversation.

Your approach will work...it's just not ideal.

Editted because apparently the "e" word is a bannable offense? :confused:

It was a lack of common sense and courtesy that caused you to receive the PM.

I always get women smiling at me. Get a lot starting conversations with me too.

They must thing im such an arse though. I hardly ever smile back let alone keep a conversation going when they start one. I dont know I usually just dont care. I hate small talk. It's to much work. And I'm usually out doing something for a reason. Not out to flirt.

I'd go with the "Hey, have I met you before?" This will likely lead to a "yes", but if it does't follow with "Well, my name is ________, what's yours?"


And roll.

An uber cute puppy does a few things. It attracts them in because they have to pet/hold him. It allows me the oppritunity to talk to them and find my in. And it shows the girl that I'm responsible enough to keep an animal alive so I'm potentially good boyfriend material.

I have had a few married ladies hooked on this process followed by the husband coming up looking unhappy, but they usually can't say anything because they'd look foolish.....and hell, they know in my place they'd be doing the same thing.

I wish I had gotten this puppy years ago. ;)

wow ...don't tell me you can't get beers just b/c ur 18


I can get anything I need. I'm not much of a beer drinker and most girls I meet probably wont be either.

Martinis at your place? :confused:
Fixed.
Women typically don't drink beer.

True. I would reccomend white russians, nice and sweet.

I give her a Triple H crotch chop. She then knows the deal. ;)

You first take a picture so you can show all of us, then say "hi" back.

It is amazing how far flattery will take you!

"Nice shoes... I bet they'd look better in my pants. I mean... are you from heaven? Cause I've got an <thing, deleted>"

Hi, where are you headed?
Haven't I've seen you around before?
I hope you're going to such-and-such party.

Or just say something cute or dumb if you feel the vibe.

Or better yet - act like you actually don't give a damn what she thinks of you because you are the mighty don with the 14 inch shoes.

Tell her you like watching her from a distance and want a name to go with the face.

Smell your fingers in front of her and then say "Would you like to smell them too?"

-------------------------------------------
You have earned a couple of weeks off.

Next time put your common sense into gear before engaging your fingers here.

Grab your penis, snort, and make a nasty face. Should shoo her away in no time.
