Steps
- First, make sure you're in a restaurant or bar. You don't want to sit at the counter, you want the waitress to come to you.
- When you go to your table and she comes your way, smile.
- When she comes back with your drink, start up a conversation.
- Try to make her feel special by smiling at her every chance you get. Also, eye contact is very important. It says, "I'm looking at you and I like it."
- If you're feeling comfortable, start to flirt a little when she comes back to ask how everything is going.
- You don't have to flirt with her every time she comes to serve you, call her over and get a refill, and when she does - smile and throw a compliment here and there.
- When she comes back to give you your bill, continue flirting and do your best to compliment her in a genuine way, preferably about her work or her personality.
- When you go to pay the bill, give her a tip (20% of the bill, excluding taxes is a typical "good tip." Try to tip a little more to make her remember you). Thank her for the wonderful meal (even if it wasn't wonderful) and say that you'd like to meet her again sometime.
Tips
- Don't start flirting right off the bat. She wants to see that you are actually interested in her personality, not just the way she looks.
- Don't flirt too much or use pick-up lines. You'll give her the impression that you are cheesy with no game. "Are you on the menu?"
- Traditionally, you are supposed to tip your server 15% regardless of the service. Any additional cash on a tip is what you want to give in reflection of the customer service you received.
Warnings
- If a relationship forms between yourself and the server, remember that he/she will flirt with other customers while working, due to the fact that this is how he/she makes their tips. Jealousy may occur. So be cautious.
- Be aware that waitresses often act like they're receptive to your flirting in the hopes that you'll tip better. Don't take any receptiveness from a server too seriously, unless they continue it after you've paid.
- If you are with more than one friend, don't try. She'll be intimidated and she will probably snap back at you.
- Don't harass her. If she's showing annoyance and lack of interest in you, don't continue flirting. She might call her boss or get you kicked out if you do or say anything inappropriate.
- Remember that she is serving you, and possibly cleaning up after you as well. Make sure to act accordingly, and when you leave, leave her a generous tip (25% will really impress) and clean up your table a bit. Stacking your dishes at the front of the table where they are easy to access will leave a lasting impression. If you are a slob, tip poorly, or make a mess, she will take all of it into consideration.
- Find out if he/she's married or is in a relationship to avoid the embarrassment.
