I have a new formula for women that has been recommended to me by a married friend, and that I've been testing. Here it is... be friendly, open, and honest, but don't show too much interest. For instance, if you are at a bar or club and you are talking to a girl, let her introduce herself to you. Now, typically girls don't like doing this, but if they are interested enough, they will, and it will pay off down the line.
Let them approach you, let them make the first move. You should always show interest, but never desperation.
New Year's Eve totally ruled.
