You\u2019re going out with friends, you\u2019re meeting women, and maybe even ending the night with them. But then you notice something is different. It didn\u2019t happen all it once, but suddenly you\u2019re off your game. Jokes aren\u2019t landing right, women aren\u2019t responding to you, and even your most reliable plays are just making everyone around you uncomfortable. You look up at the bartender and he\u2019s chuckling at your best attempt to get this girl to talk to you. Embarrassed, you decide not to tip him the next time he makes you a drink. Petty? Yes. But hey, you need to soothe your ego, right? Not that I\u2019m speaking from experience\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Some of us are purely single men in the hookup scene or relationship men who left it behind. &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/autmnjones\/27-signs-youre-not-a-relationship-type-person-grak\" target=\"_blank\">Take the test: 27 signs your not the relationship type <\/a>&#8211;  Most of us, however, spend years in the hookup scene before we find a good relationship. Until that point, though, you need to learn to date and how to improve when you feel like your game is getting stale. Once the bartender is laughing at you, it\u2019s time to take a good, hard look at yourself and pinpoint where you need improvement. For that brave, introspective man, here are 5 sure signs your hookup game needs an upgrade.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. You only have one play in the playbook, and it\u2019s costing you.<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe you\u2019re the guy at the bar who buys expensive drinks for every single girl you find. That\u2019s great if it\u2019s working. Use that play too much, however, and you will quickly see that many women are unimpressed by the size of your wallet, especially if that\u2019s all you have going for you. Buying a woman a drink is, admittedly, clich\u00e9. However, it works well for meeting that girl with the cute smile over there (don\u2019t look right at her! C\u2019mon man, be cool). It\u2019s classy and polite, but more importantly it is a fantastic ice-breaker. Buy her a drink, not twelve drinks, and show that judgmental bartender that this isn\u2019t your first rodeo. The hookup scene is a chess tournament, so don\u2019t get stuck only using your pawns.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5pcUoy222Rg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. You\u2019re always the hunter and never being hunted.<\/h3>\n<p>It isn\u2019t a bad thing to pursue a woman who interests you. For some of us, the best part of the hookup scene is the hunt. If you watch any nature documentaries though, you\u2019ll notice that even lions fail more often than they succeed. If you put yourself in a position to catch a woman\u2019s interest long before you talk to her, then the odds of your night ending well increase dramatically. This is where we get tough on ourselves, fellas. Took a good look in the mirror, and ask yourself, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/fashion\/g8434\/10-signs-your-wardrobe-needs-an-overhaul\/\" target=\"_blank\">Should I update my style a little<\/a>? Can I stand out more?\u201d You don\u2019t need to be obnoxious, but attracting a little bit of attention to yourself while around your friends will bring more women to you than you can find on your own.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. You have no plans this weekend, and not by choice.<\/h3>\n<p>Flying solo on a Saturday night is only okay if that\u2019s what you want to do, not because you don\u2019t have any other options and you\u2019ve resigned yourself to a lonely slump. If you haven\u2019t met anyone new in a while, call up your buddies and hit a bar. If necessary, find a quiet one at first and ease back into the dating scene. Remind yourself why leaving the couch is a good thing. Having a weekend at home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">watching Netflix <\/a>in your boxers is great to recharge the batteries once in a while, but make sure it doesn\u2019t become a habit.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. You settle for women that don\u2019t really interest you.<\/h3>\n<p>Okay. This is a safe place, and no one is judging you if you decide to go home with any woman you find just because you need a release. However, it\u2019s important to remind yourself how much better your night ends when you spend it with someone with whom you share a mutual attraction. This one is a no-brainer, guys. If you find yourself settling more often for a girl that wants you but does little to interest you, then maybe you should ask yourself, \u201cWhat can I do to get the women I am interested in to like me?\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. You have forgotten the real goal of the dating\/hookup scene.<\/h3>\n<p>Many of us in the hookup scene fall into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.com\/sex-love\/a4058\/how-not-to-date\/\" target=\"_blank\">specific type of slump.<\/a> It isn\u2019t a slump where you never seal the deal. Instead, you may fall into a routine where you go out solely to bring home a girl, any girl, with little thought about who or why. Having this single-minded outlook can cause even the best of us to become bored with going out, and our game suffers. The most important thing to keep in mind when you find yourself in the hookup scene is this: remember what it\u2019s all about. Remind yourself how much better the night is when you spend it with your buddies at a place you truly enjoy.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Become-Comfortable-Around-Girls\" target=\"_blank\"> Find women you are truly comfortable around<\/a> and have fun. Learn to thrive in your own skin and to enjoy showing off your best qualities. Try new experiences with new people at new places. You may just find that the only part of your game that needed upgrading was your attitude! (Looking at you, smug bartender).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h1 class=\"claimlnk2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freehookups.com\/dating\/hotaffair\/88822\/hookupmanual-blog-hooupgame-FHU\/\" target=\"_blank\">Special Offer For Hookup Manual Visitors \u2013 Free Profile On Free Hookups<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s happened to the best of us.
