"Bars are an obvious choice for early-stage dates and meeting new &amp;amp;#8220;friends.&amp;amp;#8221; But acting your best in an environment designed to encourage the opposite of good behavior can sometimes be tough. Here are a couple pointers for keeping on the right side of impressive the next time you&amp;amp;#8217;re trying to catch someone&amp;amp;#8217;s eye at the local watering hole. 1. Tip well. There&amp;amp;#8217;s nothing tackier or less impressive than someone who stiff the bartender that&amp;amp;#8217;s been working hard to serve them all night. (Also, who doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t bother to throw them an occasional &amp;amp;#8216;please&amp;amp;#8217; and &amp;amp;#8216;thank you&amp;amp;#8217;?) How someone treats service industry folk can be very telling of their personality. Bad tipper guy? Yeah, I&amp;amp;#8217;d venture to say he&amp;amp;#8217;s probably either cheap or a bit of a secret snob. 2. Keep your cool trying to get the bartender&amp;amp;#8217;s attention. Please, whatever you do, do not snap your fingers or wave money at the busy bartender when trying to get them to take your order. This will make you look the opposite of cool and piss off your bartender to boot. 3. In a busy bar, offer to order their drink at the same time as yours. If the bar is really slammed and you know that the cute guy next to you has been waiting a while to place their order too, ask what he&amp;#x27;s having and order it for him when you finally get the bartender&amp;amp;#8217;s attention. (Plus, what better, easier way to strike up a conversation?) 4. Avoid &amp;amp;#8220;bomb&amp;amp;#8221;-style drinks. Might as well tattoo &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m a sloppy mess&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;I still wish I was in college&amp;amp;#8221; on your forehead. 5. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t hit on the sexy bartender. Obviously this holds especially true if you&amp;amp;#8217;re actually on a date. But even if you&amp;amp;#8217;re just there with friends and looking to meet someone new, who&amp;amp;#8217;s going to want to talk to you after they&amp;amp;#8217;ve heard you throw cheesy, borderline offensive pickup lines at the hot bartender all night? No, thanks. 6. Offer them the last available bar stool. A solid, classic move that never goes unappreciated. 7. Keep cell use to a minimum. Who wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t be impressed (fascinated?) by someone who doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t feel the need to tweet/Facebook/text/&amp;amp;#8221;check in&amp;amp;#8221;/instagram every minute they&amp;amp;#8217;re in public? Clearly, this person has the confidence to experience the world outside of social media. Or has no life. But at this point at least you&amp;amp;#8217;re intrigued enough to find out, right? 8. If the bathroom isn&amp;amp;#8217;t gender specific, let them cut you in line. So. Nice. 9. Buy their friend a drink, too. Making sure to include their wingman - offering to buy them a drink, engaging them in conversation - is a very smooth way to impress the person you&amp;amp;#8217;re really interested in. 10. Order a whiskey, neat. Like we said, ordering one of these makes you look hot, regardless of gender. --Written by Maryse Chevriere for HowAboutWe What do you think of these tricks to impress someone?
