Ladies and gents, I ask you: the waitress pick up, is it possible? If so, how? My only other option is to stop getting crushes on waitresses. I don't see this happening any time soon.

Perhaps you should start tipping exorbitantly.

The secret must lie in this: when you want a beer the waitress ignores you; when your mouth is full she wants your life story.

Learn to speak eloquently with a mouthful of food and bring your own beer?

that's a tough one man. that's like one step below the bartender pick up (which is one step below the next-to-impossible stripper pick up).

i think any time you dig someone who works in retail / waitressing / at a store etc.. you have to dive in head first and ask them out right away. otherwise you'll just keep going back there and hesitating, and just look like a stalker. which most girls aren't into. though some may be

Well, I've only ever actually asked out one waitress, and she had a boyfriend (that she lives with). I've never asked another out. That doesn't mean I'm not a failure, mind...

I can give you tips on the stripper or barmaid pick-up, but I have no tips on the waitress pick-up.

Is the barmaid pick-up that much different from the waitress pick up?

i think the rule of thumb for beautiful, unreachable women (strippers, hookers, bartenders etc..) is always tell them they're smart, instead of complimenting their looks. like that guide says, they get told that night after night.

not that i'm an expert, mind you. but it's true that girls who work those types of jobs are that much more difficult .. (i know because i too always get crushes on them)..

i did pull a date from a beautiful girl once challenging her to a chess game. you can have that one


(i won't tell you about all the times i didn't get dates)

The thing that sucks is that I always get crushes on waitresses at bars I to to all the time. So if they turn me down it will be all sorts of awkward. Think George and the waitress at Monk's, with the "boyfriend" with the same watch as him.

Waitresses/Barmaids get 'hit on' day in day out they don't even have to be particularly pretty most of the time. I guess the thing to do is to show that you aren't some everyday loser just after the nearest women who will talk to him. Guess you have to pick just the one first though. :)

If all else fails ask them if they want to fuck. It's never worked for me, but I've seen it work. It's a crazy fucking world.

And why not? If you have the balls its worth it. If a decent looking girl offered you no strings sex chances are most of us would take it. Girls aren't that different.

has anyone ever experienced the opposite? when a waitress can't leave YOU alone?

there is a shitty faux-diner called Eat N Park in Pittsburgh (and i think all over PA) that i used to go to when i had a lot of reading to do, and get coffee and a small meal and read. and there was this one waitress (lauren i think?) who would sit down at my table, talk to me, bring me coffee every few minutes (which was awesome) and always request that i sat in her section so we could 'talk.' if i was single and if she was a little cuter who knows? but then you either have to a) never go back if it doesn't work out or b) go back and make it awkward all the time

ok, those tips are absolutely stupid. Big surprise. It's that kind of behavior that I always had an aversion to. So fake and dehumanizing.

How about just say something topical, that you mean? I guess it really depends on all sorts of things, but especially the type of person you're trying to meet.

Whatever you do though, don't invite her to Hawaii or some other distant destination for 2 weeks, from the other side of the store gate, at 2 in the morning. That shit is creepy.

my humble opinion, and late too.

Update... well, I still suck. I saw her again, she asked me about my ankle (crutches are girl magnets) and I asked her about her recent trip to Mexico. It was pleasant, fairly breif, and quite sterile. Like with a co-worker you don't really know/care about. Suffice it to say I didn't ask her out, nor is it likely that I will. I think I passed the point of the "right time" to do that long ago. It's good to know you think those tips are crap apl, as I trust your opinion more than a sketchy website (only just though ;]).

You know I may be wrong but from that 1 picture I saw of you, you seem like a very good looking bloke. I am pretty sure you could have your pick of women so I really would just go for it. I mean I have no gutts in these situations either but I am pretty sure if I looked like you then I would try a little harder (which would mean just trying at all).

By the way Mike II, I wasn't coming on to you then. We share a name but that's it. OK?

I'm glad to know you trust me, Mike II. Because I have a plan for "entirely original stalking". The cast adds a nice touch already, then you just need an extra pizazz. Like, writing her haikus on a (clean) napkin, every time you go. Or making a smiley face with the remnants of food on your plate. Or do a Bladerunner - you do know origami, right?

You know what's fun to do? Write something with your finger on a hotel bathroom mirror, then the next person who takes a shower there might notice it when it fogs up. It might be her!

What if it is? Unless he leave his phone number on the mirror then what good is it gonna do?

Having said that , I WILL try it the next time I stay at a hotel.

Problems, Issues, Caterwauling Feedback.

! :: No cast. Just a wimpy tensor bandage and a severe limp. I took the crutches back today. Cumbersome. No more sympathy for me, just strange looks at my awkward gait.

@ :: It's all I can do to muster pleasantries or a nod of recognition with her, let alone write haikus on napkins for her.

# :: I don't usually eat there (it's a pub), and when I do, it's rarely food one can arrange to make smiley faces.

$ :: I don't know origami.

% :: She lives here. Chances she'll stay at a hotel I randomly choose: slim. Though that would confirm that we were meant to be, I suppose. Looks like it's back to askmen.com...

Seems like speedy have a problem.
If it's a pub you could go there and have some beers, then you'll feel a lot more free to learn origami.

meeting girls in bars is generally pretty dreadful (whether they're bartenders or not).. in my experience anyway.

i think this town worse than most too (that's my excuse anyway)
