Pick-Up Line Etiquette

Being single in NYC can be both extremely fun, and extremely frustrating at the same time.

One thing us single girls have to deal with is how men get our attention at the bar. I'm known in my group of friends for having no fear about approaching the male gender. I'm usually the ballsy one that just says: "We're going to talk to them!" While this can be risky, I think a few of my friends are thankful for my undaunted attitude (A few couples have come about from me initiating the conversation ;-)!)

But when I choose not to be gallant... OF COURSE that's when men decide to approach me. I thought that I would take this opportunity to share a bit of pick-up line etiquette for you men to hear.

DO NOT TELL A GIRL YOU THINK HER DRESS IS SEXY ON THE LINE TO THE BATHROOM. Just say no... and hold back. That will not get my attention and will not make me swoon. I'm sad to say that I have been hit on not once, but TWICE on the line to the bathroom. I get it, we're both in a confined space where we are forced to stand in silence. Seems like a good opportunity to break the ice, right? Nope.. that's where you are wrong! Just refrain, and wait till we get back to the bar.

A girl always appreciates it when a man approaches her and shows interest (in a tasteful way of course). But time and place are key, and the bathroom is not one of those places. Men, take note of this, for the sake of women everywhere. Please?
