It seems that since the beginnings of time, men been expected to offer the female counterpart of his desire a drink. This ritualistic exchange, whether you see it as a form of grooming for what’s to come later, or simply a kind gesture, is ingrained in society. But when your wallet’s as dry as the sober virgin in the corner, drastic times call for drastic measures. So just how do you convince a girl to buy you that drink instead?
Introduce and charm
Giving your name to a girl before the drink exchange takes place can often give your prey the false (but oh so handy) impression that you are genuine, meaning ultimately, she will offer you a drink. Make sure your selfless introduction takes place as far away from the bar as possible. Keep her engaged in conversation until her throat screams “dehydration!”, and make sure she is the first to suggest (and offer!) a drink.
Offer and oops
If you’d still like to take props for being the one to offer the apple of your eye a drink, but not have to pay the price, then this is the tactic for you. With an air of confidence, offer her a drink before walking to the bar. After you have ordered for both her and yourself, reach for that empty wallet. Upon opening say “Oh, damn, do you know where an ATM is?”. If she has any social awareness whatsoever, the girl will then offer to pay. Touche.
With the above lessons learnt, never again will a penny-less man be afraid to chat up the girl of his dreams at a bar. Today, the world has been changed in great and plentiful ways.
