Attempting to pick up a bartender/server. Good or bad idea?

[maturin]

Don't over think it. I met a casino ****tail waitress in atlantic city. Stayed over her place and guess who was sitting on the couch. The ex-boyfriend whose turn had apparently expired. Now it was my turn. That was around 1989 or 90. He looked at me a little confused as I did him. He was a reserved sort of guy as i remember it. He was probably thinking who the **** is this guy. I think she and I went out and when we returned he was gone. We just rotate and take our turn. You guys know how it works now. We didn't. Jesus just remembered s/t. It was 84/85. I was 22. This was a nice casino lounge pickup. I remember this chick. Pretty brunette with a really nice body.

If you are getting strong IOI's from her and she is always happy to see you, write her a note, something to the tune of:

Your reasoning is solid, but I personally don't like the idea of leaving physical evidence behind.

Completely casually in a conversation after a flirt disqualify her:

“Jenny if you weren’t staff here I’d totally ask you out, I’d be all over you”

Don’t wait for her reaction but observe it. She might take the bait if she has game.

Why is that?

Why is that?

As I said, it's just personal preference. But it gives her something she could show around to her friends, employers, or others. It's one thing to be rejected, it's another to have a written document of it.

If it is done in a respectful way you have no fear of her showing the note to anyone, women are kind of funny like that, one woman can ***** to one of her friends about what a terrible guy you are, but her friend can find what you did sweet and charming and she will lie to her friends face as though she agrees, then come seek you out because she was moved by what you did.

What matters is that what you did was appropriate, for instance a note scribbled on a piece of hardware store notepad paper after she has shown strong interest is appropriate, sending her 100 roses or some simp move like that is not.

As long as you are conducting yourself with honor and dignity you will be fine.

In the situation of the note, say she complained to her boss, and the boss confronted you, all I would do is tell him that you were unsure if she was being friendly because it was part of the job, or because she really liked you, and you didn't want to put her on the spot or make a scene.

Yes, there is a chance you could be asked not to come back, but you run that risk when you choose to hit on her in the first place as most managers will absolutely throw out someone who a server asks them to because they don't want to have to go through hiring someone new.

If someone wants to do this, I have no problem with it. I'm just saying it's personally not for me specifically, as I'm too private a person to have a comparative stranger in written possession of my intentions. Just my own preference.
