There’s a simple way to tell if the entertainer you fancy wants to take your one-on-one time a step further. It’s as simple as asking her to have a drink with you. Of course, if you’ve been paying close attention to Mr. Etiquette, you’ll know I’ve touched on this briefly before.

The concept is simple. “May I buy you a drink?” Seems simple but the response to that question is vital to letting you know whether or not your night will end beautifully or horribly. If you’ve kept up with Mr. Etiquette, then one of your goals when attending high end venues (because high end venues have VIP Rooms, not VIP booths, or sections) is to either get “satisfied” behind that locked door or to take your entertainer home with you.

These ladies are trained professionals so do not take this idea lightly or think you just “have it like that”. So a good way to survey the situation is to ask your entertainer (who you intend on spending money on in the VIP) if she’d like a drink. If she says no, keep it moving and look for another entertainer. The one who straight up denies a drink is money hungry (of course they all are, that’s why they are there) and completely ignores the art form by which she is employed for.

Drinking with the customer is part of the perks of being an entertainer. If you ask your entertainer if she’d like a drink and she says yes and takes a beer, soda, fruity drink, or anything other than hard liquor, again, keep it moving. It is important to note that when you’re asking for a drink, you must offer it in a way that insinuates liquor like, “can I buy you a shot?” or “will you take a shot with me?” These are ways to rope her in if she didn’t intend on drinking liquor initially.

Now if you offer a drink (or a shot) and she says yes, then you’re in business. And she is all about her business as well. She needs to get nice to get loose and she will be worth every dollar you spend on her from that point on. Stay tuned because once she’s drinking, there’s a methodology to keeping her around and moving the conversation from the main floor to the back room.
