is this still an acceptable practice?

[MrIllini]

at the risk of starting another C-Twan type of epic thread, I have a question for the group

is it still acceptable practice in this day and age (making the assumption that it once was), to simply walk up to someone you find attractive but don't know and ask them on a date?

for instance...

me: "I'll have two Bud Lights."
hot blonde bartender: "That's $3."
me: "Here ya go. What's your name?"
hot blonde bartender: "Hot Blonde Bartender."
me: "Hi Hot Blonde Bartender, I'm MrIllini. I know that we don't know each other, but I find you quite attractive. Would you like to have dinner with me sometime?"

now obviously there's always the chance that hot blonde bartender responds with "That's my enormous bouncer of a boyfriend over there by the door, so no."

but on the off chance she rolls with it, might be worth it

is this a bullshit move?

[Raiders Army]

As long as the hot blonde bartender is female, you're good. What's the worst that can happen?

[sachmo71]

As long as you are cocky and funny when you say it, you could tell her her mother was a whore and she'd be with you.

Don't you pay attention? :D

sorry! No, it's not BS, as long as you are being yourself. If there is a connection, it doesn't really matter how you approach the person. Well, according to me, at least. Hornsmaniac would tell you differently.

The big bounder boyfriend could be the very jealous, jump-to-conclusions, don't-you-even-dare-look-at-my-woman type. :)

[Noop]

Yes. Sounds good to me...

[Franklinnoble]

The Ladies' Man recommends you try doing it in the butt.

[Surtt]

Who would name their daughter Hot Blonde Bartender?

[Desnudo]

Who would name their daughter Hot Blonde Bartender?

The same family that names their son ESPN.

Wait, scratch that, I really don't want to know.

The McCall's, the Curiel's, and the Blondeel's might.

I could just make it a sig line already, but I think it has a certain charm when I just whip it out whenever someone asks for girl advice around here. It never ceases to amuse me.

she's quite female from the looks of it ;)

[NoMyths]

Damn, beaten to the punch.

[MrIllini]

is turning bright red and very eloquently responding with "oh." the proper response when she says she has a boyfriend? :)

[AnalBumCover]

The real question here is: Where in the heck do they sell two Bud Lites for $3?

[MrIllini]

college towns :)

I find it charming. In fact, Franklinnoble, I know that we barely know each other, but I find you quite attractive. Would you like to have dinner with me sometime?

You had me at hello.

[Rizon]

Of course it's ok. I'm sure not enough guys hit on the hot blonde bartender. It would be refreshing for her to get hit on while she puts in her 8.

Uhhhh...

Tell her you are sad to hear she is taken and that he(her man) is a lucky guy. Next time your over there ignore her a little bit so she can wonder why you aren't paying attention to her. This will set in motion something you wanted...Or so I have heard ;)

Hrm... I was thinking something along the lines of this today as well. We have this really cute new intern here at my work and she always smiles when I pass her but we've never really talked...

Pics?

Nick, you come here for advise first? I'm hurt, really really hurt...

[rkmsuf]

why waste time on the dinner?

[KevinNU7]

"I noticed you noticing me, and I just wanted to put you on notice, that I noticed you back."

[cuervo72]

Nick, you come here for advise first? I'm hurt, really really hurt...

No, this is old news from the DCM. Except in our version, it was Miller High Life for $1 each.

[Fritz]

Can this involve bodyshots of RIccola and Jaeger?

[MrIllini]

No, this is old news from the DCM. Except in our version, it was Miller High Life for $1 each.

that was at the second bar I went to

$1.50 bud light was from HBB at the first bar

nooch

[MrIllini]

well, went back looking for HBB last night, and she was nowhere to be found

looks like counting on a regular schedule isn't going to get it done...apparently I will have to go to the bar more often

[MrIllini]

duh

[MrIllini]

If she's hot, give her a whirl. You can make more friends.

This reminds me some of what happened to me last month, a hot chick walked in while I was at the bar with my best friend's girlfriend. She is always helping me scope out chicks, so for the hell of it I decided to by this hot chick and her friend a beer thinking nothing of the fact that I am sitting at the bar with another girl.

I noticed she was checking me out a little and the more I looked at her the more familiar she looked but I couldn't remember where I had seen her. After about 10 minutes she came over and introduced herself, she said I looked familiar. Turns out she works at a resturaunt that I frequent from time to time. Before she left I asked her if I can call her some time and she gave me her digits. I called like 4 or 5 days later and we talked for like an hour. Before I hung I asked her if she wanted to go out sometime. She said "yeah but I am going out of town for a week, I'll call you when I get back" A month went by and I just figured she wasn't interested, not really thinking about it or caring my friend's gf and I went to the resturaunt she worked at last week and she was working. I didn't talk to her or anything. The next night she called me and last night we went on a date.

One time us coaches took our players to the resturaunt and the players proceded to try to find me a woman, of course they picked probably the ugliest one who happened to be our waitress as well. Bastards gave her my number and she called me like a million times before she got the hint. Well the ugly chick was telling the hot chick about me while we where there and that is what she remembered me from.
