I really lost at what to do some-times. I can go to a bar all night where there are many single women, and I'm lucky if I so much as get into a short conversation with one. I just don't know what to do. I'm told I'm a "sweet guy", but it seems most of the women I've run into like guys who are jerks to them. I don't get it. I feel so lonely, even in a crowded bar. If any women can give me advice It would be appreciated.

Here is how it goes man. First you walk up to them just use some sort of general question like So how do you like this bar or something like Do you come around here often?

Now you have their attention. Do tell them your a sweet guy they will think your lieing right off the bat. Show them your sweet call them beautiful tell them their eyes are goureous that sort of thing. Remeber sweet guys show attention to that fact not point it out. Sweet jestures help too pull out chairs offer to buy drinks that sort of thing. And on more thing always inpress her friends DONT hit on her friends just show them your the right man for their friend.

Most important just be yourself and dont freeze up. Always be yourself and never tell yourself that you cant do it. We all have the power to pick up women just remeber its just women dont be scared!

I used to sit in bars all the time doing the same thing you do. It'd fear of rejection that stops you from approaching them. First of all, if you've made eye contact more then once, that should tell you if you should advance any further. If they are playing pool, put quarters down to challenge the table. Ask them to dance. You have nothing to loose but another day in your life.

It can be really difficult for a fella especially if she is with one or two friends.
Just be yourself, and if you can make her laugh then that is a good start.
Apart from that I dont know. Some times you really get on well with someone and the conversation will flow.
A bar is not always the ideal place to meet someone and some people think that you have a better chance in a supermarket than in a bar.
Good luck and please dont let it ruin your confidence, it will happen some daywave

What most guys do that women see as "average",
and...

What you can do to instantly be seen as "ABOVE
average" and, most importantly, ATTRACTIVE.

First, what most guys do in
most situations (more specifically, what most guys
do WRONG). Here are some of the things that I've
seen...

If the setting is a bar or a club, most guys
will either say, "Can I buy you a drink?", "Wanna
dance?", or "Hey baby, how YOU doin'?"... or they
do crass things like stare at women with wanting
eyes or grab them as they walk by.

If the setting is a public place, like maybe a
woman working at a clothing store, a waitress, or
some other similar high-traffic situation, most
guys will ask a lame question like "Do you have a
boyfriend?" or "Can I take you out sometime?"

Ugh.

These kinds of approaches can only result in
you being seen as another lame, average guy.

Here are a few ideas to try instead...

If you're in a bar or club setting, try asking
a woman or a group of women THEIR OPINION on
something. I personally like this one:

"Hey, my friends and I were talking and we need
a female perspective... What do you ladies think
about this new trend of women being proud of
paying their own way and buying their own things?
Like the Destiny's Child song "Independent Woman?"

Women will usually ENTHUSIASTICALLY join into a
conversation like this one. (I personally like
this topic because it starts off by talking about
women taking care of themselves in a positive
light)

If you're out in a public place, at a store
where a woman is working or some other high-
traffic place, you might try something like this:

After chatting about whatever business you're
doing there say, "Hey, are you single?"

I love this question! It's such a shocker, and
it says all the right things. Most guys say, "Do
you have a boyfriend?" which is the usual
question.

"Are you single?" is much more forward,
and most women have to do a double take to think
for a moment.

If she pauses, I say, "I'll take that as a
YES...", which is pretty funny and usually gets a
laugh.

to james with reference above or below...

this one here:

Do you come around here often?


is too much, just too much.... no way, don't ask that! better change it for..... "can you hold this a minute please?" and give her something to hold... like a menu or something and then pretend you'r looking for your lighter or do your shoe laces...and start a conversation with whatever....

the rest I agree... it's the gentelman's touch, pulling out chairs, lighting her cigarette, opening the door for her... nice compliments but not scary ones!

Paul bob is right... just be yourself and relaxcheers

Good advice, it is true that women dont want men to show how "macho" they are, they want them to be sweet and at least pretend to be interested in the things we are.
