Making a move
Sam stood up after a few moments and went up to the woman that had now taken a seat at the bar with some girlfriends. Sam politely apologized for interrupting and asked if he could introduce himself and buy her a drink. She agreed and they began to talk at the bar.
A few minutes turned into an hour-long conversation that was very enjoyable for both of them. Sam didn’t want to seem like he was desperate so he decided to coolly end the conversation, get her phone number, and see her another time. That was exactly what he did and it was successful.
