Far too often this is overlooked. Have patience good friends. Allow time to work for you. And most of all, remember that you can get anything you want in this world if you ask for it the right way. People are just inclined to say yes. It's human nature. Exploit it.

Drinks at the bar on my American Express?

As a general rule I don't buy drinks for girls. Some guys do. Whatever you choose to do, all I can say is make sure she drinks your booze and make sure you reap the benefits of her inebriated state. Be sure to do this before it is too late - a guy might just slip up from behind and scoop a girl from you. As Biggie said, "…as soon as he buys that wine I'll just creep up from behind and ask you what your interests are…things to make you smile, what numbers to dial". Even worse, you could get a cock blocker! I'll touch upon those characters later, as there is a way to deal with them.

Only go for fly girls. 

We all get desperate sometimes. We all get lonely. We all get horny at two or three in the morning when there isn't much available but the girl at the bar that you very well know is not up to par. Friend, let me tell you, you'd rather get dissed by a fly girl than an ugly girl. You would rather dis a fly girl than an ugly girl. You would rather go out with a fly girl than an ugly girl. My point - don't mess around with  ugly girls. You'll find yourself a lot happier and eventually you will get a fly girl - after all, it's the law of averages. There are more than seven billion people on Earth.
