EditSteps

  1. 1
    Before going to a bar, ask some friends to come with you. Most people come to bars with their friends, so it would help a lot if you had a friend with you too. Also you won't feel lonely and you'll be less nervous.
  2. 2
    Scope out your target. Check them out and see which one you want to go up to talk to.

    Determine your options. You can either work on a smart pickup line, or you could go straight ahead and say " hey, I'm Tom. How about I buy you a drink? "
  4. 4
    Making a conversation is usually way easier than you think. You can use a lot of things as a conversation starter. You can try writing down some of them on a paper at home, and practice in front of a mirror or with a friend.
  5. 5
    Be creative. Try to find some interesting and new topics to talk about; instead of going for the classic " hot weather, huh? ". Before walking up to them, see if you can find anything simple that you have in common with them. Maybe you like the drink they're having, or maybe he/she is wearing Nike, your favorite brand of footwear. " Hello, I just couldn't help but notice how beautiful your shoes are, are those Nike? " could do the trick.
  6. 6
    Still can't find anything to talk about? No problem. You can also make a conversation by using personal matters going on in your life. And of course, you can just make up the scenario in your head; which would be alot easier. For example, maybe you just had an argument with a friend. You can go up to your target and say " excuse me, I don't mean to bother you, but I need someone's opinion on this.. ". Ask for their advice on it. It makes them more comfortable and welcomed, right from the beginning.
