1. Get Him to Notice You
The number one tip on how to get a guy to buy you a drink is to first get him to notice you. Make yourself look sexy by showing a bit of cleavage, applying some lip gloss, or subtly playing with your hair. Start dancing with your friends and make eye contact with him. Give him a sign that says that you are interested in him. He’ll hopefully take the hint, and head your way. If he’s a gentleman, he’ll buy you a drink.

If you’re looking for a way to get a guy to buy you a drink, there are a few tips and tricks that can help. First, get him to notice you. Make sure you look your best by wearing something that flatters your figure and enhances your features. Try wearing something that shows off a bit of cleavage, or add some lip gloss to your lips. If you’re feeling bold, you can even subtly play with your hair to draw attention to your face.
Once you’ve got his attention, start dancing with your friends and make eye contact with him. Give him a sign that shows you’re interested in him. This could be a subtle smile, a nod of your head, or even a wink. If he’s a gentleman, he’ll take the hint and buy you a drink.
In addition to getting him to notice you, you should also be confident and act like you’re having a good time. If you’re shy or anxious, it can be intimidating for a guy to approach you. Show him that you’re comfortable and confident in yourself.
2. Flash Him a Little Smile
Every person likes attention and affection from others. When you flash him a subtle and brief smile, you are giving him a friendly and warm gesture that tells him that you are approachable. He’ll like the attention and will come over to talk to you. Give it a couple of minutes, and you’ll be holding a drink in your hand.
Frequently asked questions
Oh girl, it's all about the eyes! Make eye contact, smile, and be approachable. Sometimes, a playful comment about the drink menu can do wonders.
Say yes! It's flattering when someone makes the offer. Just make sure to be gracious and thank him!
Absolutely, but do it with charm. Something simple like, 'I'm thinking about trying that cocktail, what do you think?' can open the door.
If he's buying you a drink, it’s often a sign of interest. See if he sticks around to chat and how engaged he is in the conversation.
Be polite and thank him. If you're not feeling it, you’re not obligated to stay and chat. You can always excuse yourself graciously.
3. Position Your Body toward the Guy
You want to show your guy that you are interested. Use your body language to flirt and make him notice you. If you’re at the bar, sit with your legs crossed and position your body partly toward your guy. This position leaves your body open with some space for him to sit next to you and buy you a drink.
4. Sit Next to Him
If he’s already sitting at the bar, grab the opportunity and take the seat next to him. It will signal to him that you are taking the initiative, and if he’s single, he’ll talk to you. Play nice and sweet, and you’ll have a drink in no time!

If he’s already sitting at the bar, grab the opportunity and take the seat next to him. It will signal to him that you are taking the initiative, and if he’s single, he’ll talk to you. Play nice and sweet, and you’ll have a drink in no time! Start by making casual conversation about something light, like the atmosphere of the bar or a shared interest that you might notice. Compliment him subtly, perhaps on his choice of drink or his style. Maintain eye contact and use open body language to make him feel comfortable and more inclined to engage with you.
5. Say a Few Words and Walk Away Confident
Men love confident women, so act confidently by going up and saying a few words to him. Men also like a good chase. Therefore, after you’ve spoken to him for a bit, walk away. He’ll go after you, and will offer to buy you a drink to make you stay.
***
Approach him with a sparkle in your eyes and the slightest hint of a mysterious smile. Lean in, as if you're sharing a secret just for him, and start with a light, playful topic that's irresistible. Your words should be like a siren's song, piquing his interest just enough. Then, as the conversation becomes engaging, excuse yourself with grace, leaving a lingering thought of you in his mind. This playful tug of war enhances the intrigue and often, he'll feel compelled to keep the connection going—perhaps with the offer of a drink.
6. Ask Him a Question
If you’re someone who is a bit shy, the best way to approach a guy is by asking him a question. This is a simple way to start a conversation with him. He’ll like the bold move, and will get you a drink.
***
One of the best ways to get a guy to buy you a drink is to ask him a question. This is a great way to break the ice and get the conversation started. Not only will this show the guy that you are confident and bold, but it will also make him feel appreciated and respected. Asking him a question will also give you a chance to learn more about him and give him an opportunity to show off his knowledge.
When asking a guy a question, make sure to keep it light and fun. Avoid asking him anything too personal or probing. Instead, focus on topics that are interesting and that you both can relate to. You can ask him about his favorite sports team, his hobbies, his favorite food, or even just about his day.
When asking a guy a question, make sure to be friendly and approachable. Give him a genuine smile and make sure to maintain eye contact. Show him that you are interested in what he has to say and that you value his opinion.
Finally, make sure to be patient and give him time to answer your questions. Don’t rush him or pressure him into giving you an answer. This will make him feel more comfortable and more likely to buy you a drink.
7. Drop Your Purse in Front of Him
I know this may be the oldest trick in the book, but it certainly works! If you "accidentally" drop your purse in front of him, he’ll reach to help pick it up for you. At this time, he’ll also be checking you out! He’ll then offer to buy you a drink to make up for what happened. It’s that simple!

Comments
June: Seriously? How disappointing.
Rebecca: Quite honestly, I feel empowering when I DON'T have to do these things that are suggested in this article to help me get a guy to buy me a drink. I've always feared that if I accept an invitation from a male to buy me a drink that there's the possibility that he may try to slip something into it or he may expect something more from me later on. Taking some extra precautions I feel better safe rather than feeling sorry. I think this article promotes we as women "use" guys. Instead of teaching our generation how to get free alcoholic beverages from the opposite sex how about we empower them to work hard and get it their own damn self?
holly: I'm not normally one for a feminist rant, but this article is a little ridiculous. Basically we should whore ourselves out for free alcohol?? Flirt, put on some lippy and he will buy you drinks? I have always loved this site, but this is one step too far and I am really disappointed. I have always found the articles on here to be empowering, but this is just degrading.
Cee: I've never done any of these things & men over the years have brought me drinks. He's either a nice decent guy or he's not! Either way I will always make sure I have enough money in my purse to buy my own drink, which actually makes me feel more sexy & empowered. ;)
Memememe: I'm no raving feminist but this just set the movement back about half a century! Seriously how does an article like this empower women? All it does is enhances that women can be objectified! You might as well just say: "doll yourself up and stand on a street corner." I can't believe you would even advocate this. If we happen to be short on cash - we buy less drinks or wait until payday!
kelbel: Please be mindful of something's you post please, you never know the age of the girl reading this, so she may take 'sexy' to only be defined by showing cleavage, where as other women can know a simple smile is sexy or a nice fitting outfit that you are comfortable in. Sexy is not our lady parts.
