8 tips for getting tipsy without hurting your dating game on St. Patrick's Day.

5. Don't Complain

When you first meet someone try to be as positive as you can without sounding like a Care Bear. We know that a few drinks can work like a truth serum, but when your job comes up don't go on about how desperately you hate it, or that your roommate is a slob, or that your ex is a freak. Keep the first interaction light if you want there to be a second.

6. Make Eye Contact

Even if there is a leprechaun break-dancing on the bar, be sure to make a good amount of eye contact with your potential beau. It doesn't always come naturally to some people, but it's a sure-shot way to pique his interest and make an impression. There is nothing more confusing than trying to talk to someone who's looking at their drink, their friends, or the door; anywhere but at you.

7. Easy On The Saliva

If you're both feeling tipsy and you've got a good vibe going, more likely than not you will end up making out at the bar. HOORAY! But before you get too excited remember that you're in public. Yes, you're both drunk and it feels so good, but please, for your sake and the sake of onlookers…just cool it. Keep things PG-13 or chances are that one of you will be too embarrassed to see the other person again. How To Kiss Well

If you did manage to forge a connection with your lad it is best to leave him wanting more. If he's worth your time, his curiosity will be piqued and he will contact you within a few days.
