Buying her a drinkPage 1 of 1    
I've had this discussion with male friends and they all seem to think it's a good ice breaker to buy a drink to some random beautiful girl in a bar.
I disagree because if she's beautiful, she must get lots of free drinks from guys and this lacks creativity. In her mind, she must be saying "Here's another sucker, oh well at least I get a free drink."

The whole idea behind buying her a drink is to have a drink together and talk.. right?

It's cheaper to just walk up and start to talk, IMO. And you're not *buying* anything for her which creates an impression right away.

I HATE when some guy I have never met tries to buy me a drink. I always say no. Uncomfortable and creates a sense of obligation. I don't care how fine the man is, he goes to Creeper Zone.

Now, if I end up chatting with a nice guy who I am getting along with then that is fine, go on and buy me a drink. Also, same scenario and the guy asks about my awesome choice in beer I probably would buy him a pint of Mirror Pond so he can try it too ;)

I would prefer you just came over and start to talk, I don't think I would accept a drink off someone I didn't know these days anyway.

Plus one.

Creepy/creep are one of the most overused words here but it does an accurate job of describing any underhand behavior. Buying a drink for someone you don't know, is underhand because the objective is that she will feel obligated to speak with you. It's not done as a way of catching her eye because if that was what you wanted to achieve, you would wave ! If you want to speak to a stranger - speak to them. Walk right up and do it. Don't creep along the sidelines and suddenly materialize in her space. If she says no, you've lost nothing. But at least if she says Yes, it won't be out of obligation for a drink - it will be because she's actually interested in talking to you.

I've seen this happen. Every time though, the woman wants to know who sent it...sometimes she refuses the drink.

Just walk up and say hello. Buying drinks is not really necessary. Some people do not drink either :)

Why not just say hi, see if * she * is even interested? Save yourself 8$. Especially if she leaves and never comes back like the chick in the last thread you were talking about.

Of course that's what she's thinking!

You're supposed to sit down beside her and say with the utmost seriousness, "Hey! When were you going to buy me that drink?"

In 2012 guys are still buying women drinks? I'm gonna have to track these men down, because a man buying me a drink almost never happens.

The only time I would buy a drink for a random woman I had just met that night at a bar or club is when she had bought me a drink first. Which is rare. But that did happened to me before.

if you do decide to pull that move I HOPE you dont think she automatically owes you sex or some kind of other repayment..because if thats the case of how your mind is running going into it you might as well just stay to yourself..the outcome wont be good.

The better move is to get your own drink. Run around the bar tinking glasses and bottles saying cheers to everyone and if the girl/guy you want doesn't have a drink say cheers to them and hoist your glass.. Then when they give you that stupid I don't have a drink look you can be like.. "Oh, you don't have a drink? maybe you should go do something about that.."

Enjoy!

Cheers -

Rich

Actually I won't let most men buy me a drink I do not know because that is an invitation to sit or talk with me in my world.
If I do accept..I'm open to knowing you.

In other words..IF you are attractive and seem nice.. YES then offer to buy a drink.
If you are unattractive or drunk, then HELL no because that makes you creepy..

Tis a fact that if you are attractive you can't be creepy just by offering a drink .
If you aren't attractive to her you can't win either way.

The only time I buy a woman a drink, is when she approaches me and let's me know that she is interested, and if I am interested in her.......I will offer to buy her a drink, with the invitation to sit down and get to know each other better.

I think it creepy to see some nice looking woman sitting there with her friends and six drinks sitting on the table in front of her.........how could any caring person do that to another? It should be her choice to decide who she wants to know and drink with, and trust me, women are smart enough to let you know if they are interested and want to know you better.

cd........

Talk first.
If the conversation gets rolling and you notice she's having a good time AND her drink is low, then offer to buy a drink.

Or make her laugh by asking her to buy yours.
