I got my buddy to pick me up last night and we went to a bar 'Stingrays'.

Not much doing except the gorgeous HB8 blonde and busty waitress.

When at the bar ordering drinks, she was next to me, I turned and smiled, said 'Hey.'

She smiled and looked down.

We moved to our seats and I decided I was just going to get her to interact with us.

My mate a 10 in the eyes of women was wearing a ridiculously oversized shirt so I decided this would be it.

The next time she walked passed I said, 'excuse me, can I ask you a question?'

She stopped and said, 'sure.'

I asked, 'my mate here has way overspent on this shirt, which doesn't even fit him. Can you please confirm that this was a terrible decision?'

She laughed and sat down.

I asked my mate to stand up and show her the shirt hang off him. My mate got up as we bantered together.
He sat back down and qualified himself about the purchase.

I asked her name, 'Sophie.' She replied.

She asked mine and then my friends. We then just had some inane chit chat, she asked where we lived etc.

Then she smiled and said, 'do you guys need another drink?'

And brought myself a beer.

Now, I only lament not doing this before I left... I had my phone open on the keypad and was going to hand it to her and say, Hey Sophie, I'd like to see you again, just put your number in here and I'll arrange something.

But I let my mate talk me out of it - why I do not know. Perhaps I was ultimately scared of her saying no, so I let his weak opinion convince me it was a good idea not to ask.

Either way - a great night for some progress!

In hindsight, I regret not going for the number close.

Anyone that can critique this interaction is most welcome to so I can learn and develop my game.
