Ahhh, weddings…love is in the air, and there are single ladies everywhere! Many people meet their mate at weddings, while others are looking simply to mate. Whatever your goal, here are a few tips from an experienced bridesmaid that should help you lure the ladies at your upcoming event.
Don't narrow your focus too early in the game.
Remember that there is sure to be more than one pick of the litter in any given group, so spread your charm all around until it becomes obvious where you should focus your efforts. Also, as anyone who has been at a bar during last call knows, sometimes the last one standing (well, maybe swaying a bit) is your best bet if you’re looking for more, shall we say, temporary companionship…so hang in there.
Don't be a wallflower.
Get out there and shake your moneymaker, tell jokes, and in general become the life of the party without being obnoxious about it. Ladies love to be entertained, which is why I guarantee you that the groomsman in this video didn’t leave that reception alone. If you’re not naturally a social butterfly, see the next tip for some assistance.
Unless you are one of the lucky few gentlemen who is naturally confident and witty with the ladies in any situation, a little bit of liquid courage can help your cause. BUT…
Don't let your beer goggles get too thick!
You don’t want to end up hitting on a flower arrangement, or worse:
Make nice outside of your age group.
Nothing says “Charming, Nice Guy” like dancing with the little old ladies and the cute flower girls. The bridesmaids will eat this behavior up, but please heed the arms-length rule with both groups; nobody wants to see you get fresh with Granny. This guy has the right idea: Tear Grandma away from her walker for just long enough to cut a quick rug, then send her back to her seat and wait for the bridesmaids to swarm him.
While you may think that giving her an extra shot of tequila will make you seem more dashing than you are otherwise – and it will – the effect of too much booze can be devastatingly counterproductive to your plan.
Just because you don't see a ring on her finger or a man by her side, don't assume she's available.
You could be wasting your time on unobtainable goods by not finding out pretty quickly whether or not she’s single. Also, by doing your detective work (like asking her) at the get-go, you could also avoid that awkward moment when her status becomes obvious…because it will soon enough.
Hey, we know you're a catch, but if she doesn't agree you need to move on.
Call it her loss, but learn to take the hint if she doesn’t seem interested. You don’t want to get shot down, so just cut and run tactfully when you get the feeling that she’d rather go to the dentist after the reception than back to your room. There are other taffeta-clad fish in the sea, so dangle your bait (don’t take that as a metaphor, Pervy McPerv) in front of another one!
