Okay, you go to the bar with you best friend and then your best friend see her hot chick at the end of the bar. Your friend is a shy guy, so you decided to help him out. Well, literally, you’re a wingman!
Okay, the job of a wingman is simple. You basically help your buddy to hook up with a girl and that’s it. You are playing the backseat game here. However, you will still need your confidence to be a wingman. Easier say than done right?
Transforming into a Wingman (Take one for the team)
Okay, being a wingman is not as easy as getting a girl’s phone number. You have to focus all the limelights on your friends. Basically, all you can say about yourself that night is your name. That’s it.
Also as a wingman, you must make sure your buddy here has what it takes to be labeled prince charming. Make sure his clothes are pressed, not too casual or not too formal, clean, simple (or fashionable) and awesome oral breath. You don’t have to transform him into George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven or Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
You have to know what and how to talk
You have to prepare your lines. Sweet talk is easy. If your friend is just looking for one night stand, you can simply say anything. For example, you see this girl has a purple rabbit keychains on her purse. So you approach her and said “Hey. Nice key chain there. You like rabbits?”. If she says yes, then you can go on by saying “No way! My friend here, Gary (remember to mention your buddy’s name) is an expert in rabbits research. He is here all the way from New Jersey to look at the rabbits in the New York Zoo!”.
You must know when to back off
As soon as your friend starts to introduce himself, you can now leave and let your friend to “mingle” with this girl. How to leave? Just say you have something important to do, or an emergency or something like that. Nothing gross!
Why become a wingman?
Sometimes, it’s nice to see your unattractive friend get a girl for himself. Of course it’s a huge sacrifice of time, but he might be your wingman next time!
Here are some tips before you approach the girl of your friend’s dream:
- Hold a cup of drink before you approach her if you are a bit nervous. Holding something that will spill (or break) in your hands will keep you calm and steady. Plus, you are not hitting on this girl — you are helping your friend to hit on this girl.
- No bad breath. You don’t want a girl to walk away from you the moment you said “Hi…I’m…”. Brush your teeth and gaggle with Listerine before you go.
- No chewing gums or candies in your mouth. You don’t want to look rude and stupid in front of her.
- Make sure your friend is within 6 feets away. If he’s too far, you won’t be able to introduce him to the girl. If he’s too near, the girl will feel a sense of discomfort getting surrounded by two strangers.
