I want to ask the bar man out

    I'm seated in a pub. This is my second drink. The bar man is a cute ginger with a pretty mouth. I want to ask him out but I'm shy. Also, this is my favourite pub. If he says no, I will be too embarrassed to come back. What to do, what to do?

    Tell him you want him to squeal like a pig.

    Ask him, nothing ventured nothing gained op.

    Phone number on a beer-mat when you're paying for your next round and tell him to call you if he wants his tip.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    Ask him does he go there often.

    He'll know you're having a laugh but at the same time he'll know you're sort of chatting him up.
    There ya go, you're funny and you're interested.

    If he's not gay or taken, you're getting some.

    Ask him in for a drink.

    let the attraction move you over there and let the universe and nature take care of the rest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Vomit over the counter. If he smiles at you and tells you not to worry, these things happen, while cleaning it up, then he likes you too, so ask him out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    Around about your eleventeenth drink go to the bog , get some condoms and stretch one over your head .
    The walk from the bog to your seat/floor should easily guarantee you instant local fame.

    Good luck , little one .

    Tell him you'd like a long screw up against a wall... And a cocktail.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭Itwasntme.


    He always remembers my name and makes small talk whenever I come in. Is that a sign that he wants to give it to me or am I just delusional?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭crazygeryy


    ask me I'm fine with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Stop staring at me OP you're creeping me out.

    It's not ginger, it's strawberry blonde BTW.

    I'll meet you around the back at 8.15, I'm on a break then. Bend over the barrell for me.

    I would be mortified if you were actually the same barman! Don't tease me, you might give me a heart attack!


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Now I'm afraid to say that while I don't have much experience in the art of chatting up ginger barmen with pretty mouths but it seems to me that the only solution is to walk straight up to him and say "You have a pretty mouth" and if he looks at you funny just say "Can I have a pint of stout?" and down it right in front of him...win win :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Wait until your sixth or seventh drink at least.

    That way you can be sure you'll be at your most charming.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    Mark your territory by pissing on his legs.

    lol can you imagine it
    .ask him.go for it.you have nothing to loose good luck.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭Itwasntme.


    I'm by myself. I'm worried it's might be even more weird if I ask him out because then he'll just think I've been sort of stealth stalking him. It's the truth but I don't want him to think it. I should just go home.....

    Definitely ask him, if he says no then so be it. You'll boost his confidence a little and you'll get a rush from it! I do anyway :o

    Aw dont go home yet. Get off the phone and chat to him :)

    If you do ask him out be prepared for him to say hes seeing someone though.
    If he is, then leave while you're sober with your dignity in tact.

    Is that all. Chipper here I come.

    Okay, my second drink is done. I'm going to get another drink and ask him. Or should I ask him before the drink so that if he says no, I won't be committed to staying in to finish it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,519 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Ask him out, report back here immediately afterwards.

    Get another drink then ask him, cos if you ask him and he says no and then you take off out the door, he'll think you're just out to pick up anyone!

    But then I have to sit it through after if he says no. It will be painful :-(. Any barmen with confidence boosting anecdotes?

    Rock up to where he's standing and ask for a pint of Andrews liver salts...

    Just get the drink and act cool. Are you chatting to him yet?
    Good lord woman, he'll get busier as the night goes on and you'll miss your chance.

    Yeah this is a bit of a problem. I'd be a bit spooked by that myself. Wait until you have some friends with you and ask him if he'd like to follow ye into town later. Then the ball is in his court and you can go back to the pub, dignity intact, and follow it up.

    Don't do it Itwasntme.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    Hours into this thread and the OP still hasn't been bent over the empty bottles bin out back yet.
    Tis a sad state this country's come to, I'm tellin' ye.

    That's then thing. I came out by myself for a drink. I'm not meeting anyone. Now you have me spooked :-(.

    On the up side, there's an incredibly hot girl at then table next to mine. She makes for great distraction.
    PS: I am not gay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,312 ✭✭✭munster87


    I think we are in the same bar!!

    You've got competition, so. If you leave this much longer, she'll be off to the loo for an extended absence, and suddenly the barman will be 'changing the kegs' and before you know it your place over the empty bottles bin will be taken by another. Make your move now, before it's too late!

    I was a barman for a few years. If he's up for it you're sorted, if he's not then he's still working and will be in charming barman mode so he will still be nice about it. Go for it, nothing to lose.

    Competition. You need to eliminate her quickly

    Or recruit her, and the barman could win at life!

    The bad news is that she is waaaaaay hotter than I am :-(. The good news is I doubt she's interested in my hot ginger man who seems to have disappeared. :-(
