If you’re hitting on me at a bar I’m drinking at, there are easy starting lines. “You strike me as a girl who drinks whiskey, what are you ordering?” Talk to me when I’m on my own if we aren’t in a group together, and then either when I’m leaving or you’re leaving, try to get my number. It’s ok to do that in front of my friends; if you’re too shy, you can try to catch me on my own as I’m leaving. Don’t take me away from my friends unless I come to you purposely and don’t join us unless I invite you. I’m there to hang out, not to meet you, but I’m stoked if you ask me to get brunch or get drinks another night.
