First, a football message board may be the single worst place to get love life advice. Given that caveat about advice, here's mine:
Bars *can* be good places to pick up chicks if you just want to get laid. (Which is probably the point, right?) If you’re great at dancing, handsome, funny and outgoing——then hit the bars during happy hour and you’ll probably have lots of success. But IMO a better strategy is to wait until midnight or so before hitting the bars. That way, all the girls who were just there to chat with their girlfriends will be gone, home in bed by themselves. But the women still drinking at that time of the evening will be lit up and ready to rock. That is, if you don’t mind a sloppy drunk chick in your bed. Just pick one out and anonymously send her a drink or two——perhaps a Long Island ice tea. Then go introduce yourself.
If you actually want to meet a girl to date rather than just a warm (drunken) body to take home for the night, then I’d steer clear of the bars. You’ll have better luck at Love library, the student union, or even in the churches around campus. (I take it you are a UNL student, right?)
But the best way is just to have one of your female friends hook you up with one of her friends. If you work it right, you can even see her first before committing to a date. Of course you have to be a gentleman then. Or you'll have two chicks mad at you.
Happy hunting!
