I need some "Pickin up bridesmaids" tips for my buddy's wedding in 6 weeks

[HEyHEY]

I figure first thing is I gotta remember to stop saying "Fuck" every second word.

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. How about....

"you look radiant"?

And especially not "fuck" as a verb.

[HEyHEY]

10. I've gotta say, at first I thought you were the bride...hic

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. First part is good....

Forget the hic.

I am going to a wedding in October with 13 bridesmaids. The bride will be 6 months pregnant.

[HEyHEY]

14. This one's on six weeks notice...

Because they just bought a house together and the ultra religious parents don't aprove. Guess they'll aprove less of the Justice of the peace!

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. The one I am going to is planned WAAAYYYY in advance.

It is the pregnancy that was unplanned, though everyone is happy about it. And they have lived together for some time.

[reprehensor]

2. Alcohol is your friend.

[mopinko]

3. long as you're single

you don't need tips. nobody lonelier than a bridesmaid.

[HEyHEY]

5. cool

Plus I already fooled around with one of them about 7 years ago...so we have something to talk about!

[AlCzervik]

4. Here's some advice

Don't act like a dick. That whole not acting like a dick goes a long way with us ladies.

[HEyHEY]

Well......I'll try

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Offer to share a motel room -- for the charitable purpose of economy only

of course.

[HEyHEY]

9. With one bed - to help lighten the load on the wallet a little more

[Sandpiper]

7. Find the drunkest one

n/t

[prolesunited]

17. That's really ignorant advice

You shouldn't take advantage of drunk people and if she's really drunk, it's considered rape. I seriously hope you don't engage in such tactics.

On topic: Just be yourself. Tell some stories from your career. The one about the priest shows your concern and courage and the story about the kids and the water park was cute.

Also, don't try too hard. A lot of women don't like to be picked up. Hang back, be available and open, and she may just start pursuing you.

Good luck!

[HEyHEY]

18. YEah...the priest story - sure winner!

The bride's family is catholic!

Points galore!

[Sandpiper]

27. My post was tongue in cheek

And I'm married, so no, I'm not in the habit of picking up women drunk or otherwise.

So I guess what I'm trying to say in so many words is...

F**k off.

Thanks.

[HEyHEY]

8. Oh also...

This is gonna be funny, this couple is gonna be there, about five years ago the girl showed me her boobs in a bar. Ever since the guy has had it out for me...should be a fun night!

[Zuni]

11. I say, just whip it out

9 times out of 10 you will get slapped. But that one time...

[HEyHEY]

12. lol

I'll do it when they're cutting the cake and everyone else is distracted

[Zuni]

15. Yeah

The perfect time. You sound like you have done this before.Be sure to let her know who you mean it for, too.

[fishnfla]

19. this is a no brainer

1. Dress yourself like it is your last day on earth. get a barber shave and hair trim
2. show up on time, smile alot
3. Speak of the bride and groom as if they were Adam and Eve
4. leave the fucking part out
5. Congratulate the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom, schmooze the hell out of the older relatives, the word gets around "he's such a nice guy" turn on your charm switch for all
6. Wait for all the light weights get drunk, then slide in like the sober gentleman that you are.
7. shots of hard liquor
8. see #3
9. see #4
10. when the party shuts down, the man with the plan wins.

[HEyHEY]

20. WOw,

I gotta shave?

[northofdenali]

21. If you did here, people'd look at you weird..........

especially the bridesmaids! Well, up here, fashion means your fur hat is dead and your bunny boots are somewhat clean.

Just be HEyHEy. Intelligent, left-wing, involved and a nice guy.

And leave the bunny boots, sled dogs and polar bear at home. :evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

22. I'm lending the polar bear to the newlyweds

To ride off on

[chaska]

23. Just remember, If she likes ya, it doesn't matter what you say...

If she doesn't like ya, it doesn't matter what you say.

The trick - if you've got the stomach for it - is to aim low.

[HEyHEY]

24. Hey - aiming low is aimin' high for me

[cmf]

25. Do you dance?

Guys who can dance score well with bridesmaids. Going to a wedding w/o a date sucks. Enter a cute guy who can sweep her off her feet on the dance floor.... Bam - you're in.

If you can't dance, well then, I can't help you. ;-)

[HEyHEY]

26. I used to all the time

But for some reason I can't do it these days. I lost a good chance recently at a conference for not dancing....by dammit I'll never make that mistake again - if I must dance ---- I musT!

[gardenista]

28. Don't let on that you've been thinking about picking them up for 6 weeks.

That's rule #1.
