What Should You Do on a Night Out to Meet Women?

Start talking to people the moment you arrive, and keep doing it all night. To meet girls on a night out, say hello early, pick women who look open, walk up to their groups instead of hovering, and keep every opener short. When one of them is enjoying herself, take her somewhere quieter and leave with a number or a plan.

People read you before you say a word. A man who arrives tired, scrolls his phone by the wall and keeps glancing at the exit gives the room nothing. A man who walks in upright and relaxed, looks around with a half smile and greets the bartender like a friend makes people want to be near him.

You do not need to be loud. You need to look like a guy who is having a good time and would be a good time to talk to. Put the phone in your pocket and leave it there.

The first approach of the night is the hardest, and it gets harder every minute you wait. So make it small and make it soon. Ask the bartender what is good. Joke with the group in front of you in line. Tell the guy next to you that you like his jacket.

None of these are about women, and that is the point. By the time you walk over to a girl you like, your voice is warm and talking to strangers already feels normal. Men who skip this step spend their first hour holding a drink and building the first approach into something enormous.

You will do better talking to the right people than talking to everyone. Before you walk over, look for a few plain signs. She is looking around the room rather than into her phone. She trades smiles and glances with the people around her. Her body is open, and she has a free minute: waiting for a drink, a friend or a table.

A woman in the middle of an intense talk with her friend, or one turned away from the room, is telling you not now. Let her be and find the next one.

Most women on a night out are with friends. Walking straight up to one of them and ignoring the rest puts everyone on guard. Open the whole group with something about the moment, like the music, the crowd or what they are celebrating. Once they are laughing, start talking more with the woman you came over for.

Treat her friends as people, not obstacles. If they like you, they will make room for you. If they do not, they will pull her away the first chance they get.

Bars and clubs are loud and crowded, and people there are busy with each other. Your opener should take one breath and give her something easy to reply to. "Hi, I'm Tom. I had to come say hello" is enough. So is "Is it always this packed in here, or did we pick a good night?"

Then stop and let her answer. Add one thing about yourself so it does not become an interview. Rushing in with too much intensity, standing too close or talking too fast reads as pressure. Calm reads as interest.

A conversation shouted over the music has a short life. If she is smiling, asking you questions and staying close, take her somewhere you can talk: the bar, a quieter corner, the terrace, or another venue entirely. a dating coach likes to take a woman from a loud club to a quieter wine bar, because the setting is more intimate and there are fewer other men trying to talk to her.

Every time she agrees to move with you, the night has moved forward.

Do not let a good conversation end with "nice meeting you." Before she goes back to her friends or heads home, ask for her number or her Instagram, and attach something specific: a drink on Thursday, brunch on Sunday. Text her that night with your name and a line from your conversation, so she remembers exactly who you are in the morning.

If the night is going really well and she wants to keep it going, follow her lead. A clear yes, sober enough to mean it, is the only yes that counts.
