Like Moths to a Flame

Flirting with Bartender Betty

Talking to Wingman Stick and SuperCop, I turn to the bar to order another round. I catch the eye of Bartender Betty, a cute young girl who just recently started working at the local pub. She’s so peppy and happy all the time, I can’t help be incredibly attracted to her. We have a good vibe whenever we chat. I’ve been telling her stories of my latest adventures. I think she’s intrigued and I definitely need to ask her out. The problem is how do I do that? I’ve never asked a bartender out before. Perhaps I’m over thinking this whole thing, perhaps I just need to straight out ask. Ok, next time I see her I’m taking the next step, whatever the outcome.

Drunken Cougar Attack

Leaving the pub on that same night. I’m chatting with a few women outside when another hot older women comes up behind me and starts groping me. I’m guessing she saw me in action earlier and was attracted.

She is putting her hand inside my shirt and feeling my abs. She keeps trying to whisper something in my ear but I can’t make out the words. I can smell booze on her breath. She’s polluted. Though it’d be fairly easy to pull this girl back to my place, it’d be totally wrong. I’m sorry, but seducing a sloppy drunk ass woman is not a sound seduction strategy not to mention the immorality of the whole thing. It is nice to know that I did somehow create a lot of attraction in this women for whatever that’s worth.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair

Watching a live band in a small music club. There is a beautiful woman standing in front of me. She has the longest curly auburn hair I’ve ever seen. It goes all the way down to her perfect ass.

She turns around for a quick second and I am able to catch her eyes. With one quick smile and a seductive gaze she comes over to us. Wingman Stick jumps right in and asks some question about the band which she is more than delighted to talk about. I can barely get a word in. Eventually she goes back to watching the band, but every few minutes she looks over smiles at me.

At the end of the show, she begins walking past me while gazing into my eyes. Just as she walks by I hold my hand out. She gently places her hand on top of mine as are fingers slowly caress each others palms during the brief encounter. She continues walking away and is headed towards the band members. My two wingmen are stunned.

“Dude, GO GET HER!” one says

Ack! I know it looks weak to chase after a girl but shit, I had to do it.

I approach her while she is talking to the lead singer of the band. Oh man, how the hell am I supposed to compete with this guy. My strategy is to open the guy first, ignore the target, be-friend the obstacle and then somehow isolate Rapunzel (standard pick-up artist strategy).

“Oh hey man, that was a great show” I say

I have a quick conversation with the band leader. He’s a cool guy but it was very clear that he also wanted Rapunzel. I turn to her in an attempt to isolate.

“Hey, I saved a dance for you, lets go” I tell her as I hold out my hand.

“Ummm, no thanks. I’m going to stay here.” she replies

“Alright, good talking to you guys” I say, ejecting from the set.

I probably could have handled that better. Doh!

In response to your attraction to Betty:

Having worked with beautiful girls in restaurants and bars for 5+ years, I can say employees are a hard catch for the mere customer.

These girls get asked countless times in a day and are sometimes instructed to ACT, but not BE available (Yes, just like in Coyote Ugly).

Many times, they are interacting so much with male employees, that they end up joining them for drinks after work and banging one of their co-workers.

That customer she met at the bar earlier is no longer a twinkle in her eye.

I say get straight to the point and don’t show up countless times with new stories. You don’t want to end up as that creepy young guy with obligatory conversation.

Best of luck my man. Let me know how it goes!

Ciao

Collin,

Thanks for the advice. It is hard to say whether she is flirting with me because that’s her job or if she really is attracted to me. I’m swaying more towards the attraction side because I notice that she flirts more with me and talks more with me than any other guys in the bar. I guess I will have to get straight to the point if I’m going to find out. I’ll keep you posted.

You could either befriend Betty (while she’s still the new girl) or go for it right away. I’d probably play it by ear, but the signs are good so far. The only issue I can see is that she might think you’re a player after telling her about all your adventures.

Good on ya for not taking advantage of the drunk woman. Some guys would.

As for Rapunzel, you can’t win them all.

Just a quick update for everyone.

I saw Bartender Betty the other day and asked her out. It turns out she has a boyfriend. It was a bit awkward between the two of us at first but eventually we resumed are normal fun vibe….so, it wasn’t too painful of a process after all. At least now I know, and won’t spend my days wondering “what if?”
