    We all instinctively know that most women love doing the chasing.

    They thrive on it.

    That's why playing it cool - is when the fishing rod has the patience and it is gentle

    Well done Dave, you are talking to yourself and have given yourself some reasonable advice while writing on a message board.

    Now, grow a pair and go and do something about it

    Look just be open and honest - no issues with that.

    Say something like "What would be your likely response if I asked you out for a date?" (clever wording in asking before actually asking)

    If she says "yes" then bingo.

    If she says no then respond with something like "I suppose a blow-job is out of the question then?"

    Final paragraph is = 👌😂

    Just ask her for her number and say you want to take her out for a drink on a certain day next week.  If she's interested then she'll give you her number and say yes. If she's busy that day but interested she'll give you her number and suggest another day.


    If she says no to the above she's not up for it.  


    Don't make it any more complicated than that.

    As a woman who has worked a bar (and has mates who still do) do not try to flirt with her while she’s working. You can feel penned in as you’re at work and it’s not like you can walk off and leave if someone is making you feel uncomfortable. 

    I’d suggest letting her know you’re interested, leaving your number and letting her know if she’s not interested that’s perfectly ok. 

    Good luck mate!

    Who knows, I might be commenting on this discussion via a 12 year gap from it.

    It's suddenly the year 2034 - me and her get married in a pub. 

    Charlton are continuing to enjoy life in league one

    On a serious note,,
    Asking someone out for a drink who works in a bar is a bit meh. Ask if she'd like a trip on the Thames clipper to the Tate modern, lunch then back to Greenwich.

    Do they though? I think they generally like to be chased, rather than do the chasing.

    But maybe things have changed and there's now loads of pissed up women wolf-whistling and ogling blokes left right and centre.

    There certainly are and it gets a bit annoying at times I can tell you. Fighting them off is hard work!

    If there's a group of people on a night out - they bump into each other 

    Let's say, 2 women and 4 men. They're drinking and they wana get chatting.

    3 of the men are displaying open signs of confidence and they are very talkative.

    It is clear that the women have already won them over and it appears to be a typical social scene of "chatten em up"

    The women will tell themselves "why is the quiet one so quiet! Does he fancy me too? I can't work him out?"

    On the surface, it may look like they couldn't care less about the quiet individual, but in reality, it is a strong possibility that they probably more so want to chase his affection.

    Their body language would probably make it more evident

    Another solution is to try to get hold of some Hai Karate aftershave. So effective that they had to stop producing it. Or was that because it was cheap and nasty? No, I saw the ads, it was potent stuff.

    just leave a note on the bar saying " George Dobson has a foot like a traction engine", if she doesn't know what you are talking about she's not worthy

    If you’re resorting to asking for pointers off Charlton fans, you’ve got no hope.

    I opened this expecting some sort of taxing lateral thinking puzzle. Instead it's 'how do I talk to women' pt 16846. FYI, the answer is that both glasses were full of helium

    If all else fails, then head to The Millers in Bexley Village.

    Half the forum are in there on a weekend evening.

    Do you find the old bingo hall works as a first date then @bobmunro ?

    Long story short, I have a strong affection for a nice blonde haired lady who works behind a bar. (It's not actually a long story. That's pretty much it)

    I quite like the fact that she appears to be rather normal. My instinct tells me she is also most likely to be a student.

    Not gonna beat around the bush, but me and her do already kind of fancy each other, and at this point, all I can do is completely mess it up.

    Potential chat up line...

    "The masters is really good, isn't it"

    "Charlton are gana absolutely destroy....whoever the hell we are playing against tomorrow"

    "Can you give my online dating account ....a good direct honest review" (pass my phone over) 

    "Why the hell is the kitchen shut on this mad Friday night. I wanted a pub curry!"

    Any suggestions?
    Have you thought this through ? If she’s working in the pub every night, who’s going to cook your dinner ?
