How to get a date on Waikiki or any other beach

Honolulu, Hawaii – Dec 4, 2008. According to our sources, Waikiki beach has to be one of the easiest places to meet someone single women to date.  Our undercover surfer agent named Pulque, who grew up nearby, says:

“A lot of people wait till night to go out and meet people in the clubs. This is pretty easy too, as everyone who comes to Waikiki single, and goes to a club at night, is out for some sort of fun. However, if you are looking for some one longer than a one night stand, or a nearly certain way to meet someone that you know you will get along with, there is a better way.”

Our man Pulque says that,  for guys, the solution is free and simple: just walk down the beach and look for a gal you like the looks of and then talk to her.  There is a method to doing this that he has worked out over the years that he claims makes his success rate very high. Here it is:

First, he says, is decide what you are looking for and make your chat geared toward that. For example, if you want to go to a club with her in the evening (like a date) and see how things go, then that is the best way to get results. Why? because later in the evening, when you meet to go out, its like you know each other and its easier to get to know each other even better and have fun.

Pulque says he sometimes if he really wants to meet someone for sure, he makes several dates by walking all the way from Kapahulu St. to Fort Derussy along the beach (about 1/2 mile). ” Hey, its great exercise and you will see hundreds of wahines (gals) along there and talk to about ten, depending on you”. From there, he says, “you can get five dates or so for over the next few days and from those five dates, something should happen or you check your aftershave and breathmints, just be sure you have good sunscreen for that walk!”

The technique he uses is to make sure the gal is alone before you start talking. “Don’t just jump at any gal, be like Bond, James Bond. Look at her first, if you see an empty towel next to her or a pair of big flip flops, she is probably with someone in the water. That may be another female or a male so look at the accessories. Also, sometimes if you are slick you can tell where she is from before you walk up. If she has a lot of local stuff (newspapers, shopping bags, food) probably she’s a kama’aina (local) and your chances are less. If she is very untanned and has all kinds of (tourist) stuff from Waikiki is with her, she’s probably a tourist. Then, once you decide to spring into action, forget about everyone around you seeing you- who cares what everyone else around her thinks, just do it!”.

According to Pulque, a witty line is lame. “If you come on with some tacky pick-up line, you seem like you do this a lot or have premeditated it. Which is the case, but you dont want to give this away! You want her to think you were taken by her on your way somewhere else. So use something natural like ” Wow, I was walking to Fort Derussy for a swim and I couldn’t help but notice you and wonder ‘why is such a pretty lady in Waikiki all by herself ‘?. Are you on vacation or do you live here? Then if she says ‘on vacation’ then ask her if its her first time, where she is from, etc. Strike up a conversation. If she tells you to get lost then, forget about her, move on to someone else further down the beach”.

“One thing is nearly certain; you will get a date eventually. But most likely, if you are sincere, smile, don’t have bad breath or an aloha shirt on, you probably will get a lot of dates. Just be sure to be nice, and don’t ask to sit down, just do it while you are talking. Try it over your stay in Waikiki or wherever you are and with practice you will be able to read their reactions to you and how to pace the chat and know when to ask for her number”.

“Once you are chatting , gauge her response. Don’t talk about yourself too much, find out about her” (for more info about talking to women, see our interview with Pulque on this subject in a later post). “Then just go for it: ‘Hey since we are both here single in Waikiki, how about I invite you to (any club) and we have a drink  and a dance?  Then, we can check out the scene together’! Then, shut up, and see what she says. If no, you can try a different angle or night. If no again, thank her, say good bye and go move on and keep walking. If you do this from Kapahulu to Ft. D, and you do this with ten gals you will get 5-10 dates depending how good at chatting, or how good you look, period.

Just remember, either get a mobile phone number (and ring it right there and add her number) or get a hotel name and room number and /or last name. Don’t have her meet you somewhere, or have her call you without these: you will be waiting a long time!  Also, don’t sit around talking too long unless you really have a good vibe going, you can meet more walking down further, and you will see her later on anyway. However, read the scene,  if you really feel chemistry, go ask her for a swim right now and change the surroundings a little, maybe you are luckier than you think! When you meet at night, be nice, be interesting and have fun!”

Pulque has tried this on beaches all over the world with success but he says none is easier than Waikiki. Look forward to our interview with him for guys on how to talk make small talk with women, coming up in less than a week.
