You’re out. You’re having a blast and you just caught a glance from that pretty little
something down the bar. What do you do next? Be the gentleman that you are and send her a
drink. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, though. You’re aiming for suave,
not sleazy. But if you play your cards right, you’ll be able to make a big
impression with your gentlemanly style and confidence.
Use the bartender as your wingman
To pull this off correctly, it’s essential to get the bartender on your side. Make
sure to treat him with respect and not like a lackey. After all, his delivery will go a
long way to determining how the woman is going to react. If his body language says
you’re a jerk, it doesn’t matter what words he uses when he brings the drink
over to her. When sending women drinks, the bartender is your wingman and in order to make
him a helpful and willing one, you should be nice and tip big.
Ask what she’s drinking
You can’t just order any old drink
and send it over to her. You should ask the bartender what she’s drinking and
send another of the same to her when it looks like her drink is getting a little low (but
before she orders a fresh one). If you end up choosing something she doesn’t like,
you’ll have wasted a drink and won’t get the reaction you desire. Play it safe and
send her something you know will please her taste buds. Another way of doing this is to
ask the bartender to charge you for whatever drink she orders next. When he hands it to
her he can gesture in your direction, indicating that it’s on you.
The casual nod
As the bartender takes the drink over, keep your eyes on the woman. When he points you
out to her, put on a genuine smile and give a casual nod. You could also slightly raise
your glass toward her. Don’t jump up and down or wave at her like a lunatic. You
don’t have to act overly eager. Just keep it cool and sincere. Want
