Great article on Bullz-Eye about ways to prepare yourself to go out and meet women. This tip was the best:

5. Pre-Party
The Pre-Party should become a ritual you have every time you go out. Think of it like an opening act – it’s a warm up for the main event. Meet a few friends, either at your place or theirs. Share a few drinks. Listen to music that pumps you up. Watch some standup comedy, or listen to comedy albums. Share a few jokes. Make yourself and each other laugh. This will put you in the right frame of mind for the rest of the evening.

It’s very important to be in the right frame of mind. Getting the night started with friends in a casual setting is the way to go. If you’re short on cash with a payday just around the corner, you could consider a quick cash loan to take a little stress off the evening, too.
