All,

Just got home from a night out. I went with a couple to dinner and casino and ended up at a bar in the same town I go to night school in.

Since there was a hockey game and the baseball game, the place was packed, but I noticed that the waitress was really checking me out. It was that look where she almost looks through you. The woman in the couple I was with mentioned that the waitress was checking me out as well.

Now, the place was so busy and I talked to her for about 30 seconds, but I'm sure I could get her number, but didn't because I didn't feel comfortable saying..."Hey what's your name, can I have your number" while she waited on 10 tables.

Any advice??? I thought since a lot gave LH help on his thread that someone might be able to give me some clever tips. The woman in the couple wanted me to write my number on the receipt, but I thought that would be too desparate looking.

Drop by tonight. Or during the week. If she's working, ask her what nights she works. How busy those nights are, etc.

Drop by again.

Nice waitress don't give out their phone numbers the first time a man drops by. Even if she was checking you out.

Of course, if you're only trying to get lucky... I guess you could write your number on the receipt.

hmmm...CHICKS????? If you want to pick up Chicks
go to the local Tyson chicken farm...

but if it's women your wanting to meet...try talking to them and about them with respect..

Chick is term a little high school boy would call a high school girl..not an adult man trying to meet adult woman...and have an adult relationship
with--

Now, if all your wanting is a ONS and not a meaningful relationship...then continue on..and ignore my post...

women are not chicks --- so try showing some respect to begin with

- and how about offering your business card?

I like your smile. Call me sometime or email, maybe we can get together for lunch.

REMEMBER

GG, thanks for the advice. I was thinking of stopping by there on Monday at 10 after my class gets out. If she's not there, oh well.

To the others...thanks for the advice...and get a sense of humor. xW thought I was too serious and not fun enough...hmmm now I'm disrespectful.

TR- Actually, we both have a wonderful sense of humor--except when it comes to certain things--
and how men refer to and talk about women is one of them--

Geez, some of you seem a tab thin skinned. I'm a woman and don't see any problem with the word Chick. Anyhow, here's my two cents. I would suggest not asking for her number, but offer yours. That shows that you are not pushy. As far as asking her out, you may want to suggest meeting some place rather than picking her up at her home. This shows her that you are not trying to get into her home and into her bed. This suggestion is based on you wanting to date a nice girl. Good luck.

I truly don't like being called a "chick" or "chickie."

I prefer to be called a skirt, or a dame, or a broad. For those who'd like to suggest that I'm a good looking broad, like the Babe, Arm-candy, or Hottie.

I will not answer to "Hey, yo" or bimbo.

But, seriously Hoping, not only does "chicks" label you as a dumb caveman type it also dates you. If you use it make sure it's obvious that you're joking.

Women are women except when they're ladies.

And just in case you were looking for a ONS, remember to dress approapriately. Sleep with one person and you've slept with the world.

And no I don't condone ONS, but people who are looking for that kind of action won't stop just cause I tell there is more than copulating.

GG and all you other broads out there...I was thinking of showing up at the bar in an Austin Powers type of getup...something to get her attention... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> ...although something tells me that dressing appropriately means something a bit more mischievous. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Seriously, I'm not looking for a ONS...I don't know how that really was shown in my statements.

All I wondered was if it would be weird to show up by myself at this bar after class...

Hey now, hoping4best is asking for constructive advice here let's not forget <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Here are a few books that might be handy. While a book will never substitute for real life experience, it may help those of us who are oblivious to the scene.

"The Guide to picking up Girls" Read some out of curiousity. Good for those unsure or lacking in confidence.

"Body Language Secrets" A good way of possibly seeing if someone is interested without having to play the guessing game. Helps to pick out a little on when someone is lying, interested or not interested.
