How to get a date: the number's game.

To get a number, you have to play the number's game. "WTF Robbie! The title was how to get a date, not how to get a number." Cool it kid.

So you're average looking and you don't get many dates. Your ugly friend seems to get dates with pretty good looking women so what's wrong with you? Well, something is wrong because if nothing was wrong then you wouldn't have to be fishing; they'd just jump into (onto? lol) your boat.

Here's what's wrong:

1) You don't even talk to a girl

You need to play the numbers game to get a number. What's that mean? It means you need to actually talk to women, grow a pair and just go up and talk to her. If you talk to enough women, you're bound to get a number or two. If you want to increase your success percentage, do this:

2) Grow a pair and man up

I may be wrong but in my humble experience, girls want a guy who is, well, a guy. Take charge and go talk to her. Don't wimp out in the conversation either! You don't have to agree with EVERYTHING she is saying, just don't be rude or condescending to her. The girls that I've talked with like it when a guy is in charge... I'm not saying that in a sexist way, and don't act like you are better than her because you aren't. It's hard to explain without seeing it, but what I mean is just give direction to the conversation. Get used to going up to a woman and talking with her.. the nerves will never go away before you do it but it'll get easier to overcome those nerves.

3) She holds the key

Guess what? She makes the decision to say no. Get used to rejection because you'll get used to it and learn from it. There are more fish in the sea but please don't go fishing in the same pool all night. If a girl sees you just trying to talk with EVERY girl at the bar, she'll stay away from you. If you notice something about her that just bugs you and you aren't interested: BAIL! There's no reason to drag a conversation on with her if you don't want to.

So in summary: Walk, Talk, and Walk Away (quickly when necessary).
