Also, quit EXPECTING to “pick up girls” and instead go
make friends and give the women the opportunity to get
to know you. A couple more ideas for different situations:
If a woman gets up and is about to leave, that’s a
GREAT time to get her info. Just walk up and say,
“Hi, I was going to come talk to you earlier but I
got busy... what’s your name? Do you have email?”
Easy. And it’s so natural to ask, since she’s

I have tied up in my basement, I prefer to wait
until I’m actually going on a date with someone
before introducing them to our group. Since we’re
just meeting for drinks, this doesn’t apply. If you’re
really that paranoid, just stay in your car and give
the horn a quick tap. Don’t worry about my
neighbors... I’ve already taken care of them. So
meet me here at 7.” I have a friend who does something interesting in a
restaurant. He’ll call the waiter over and say, “Can
you deliver this napkin to that girl over there? But
don’t tell her who it’s from.” Then, he’ll draw a
tic-tac-toe game and put an X in one of the
squares. (Always tip the waiter a dollar!)(The napkin almost always comes back, and the
game is on... It’s fun, mysterious, and the girl always
wants to know who’s playing with her. I’ve used this
before, and it’s great fun. At some point, depending on
whether you’re winning or losing, you can come over to
her table and say something like, “Well, I had to meet my
