On top of your game
It's Friday night, you're out at your favorite hangout with a buddy, having a cold beer after a long, hot workweek.
You didn't notice her when you walked in, but she's with a friend. They're doing pretty much the same thing as you and your buddy - chatting, catching up, relaxing. You make eye contact with her from across the room. Maybe she just happened to look your way, maybe she's interested. There's only one way to find out, really.
So, how do you do it?
Send your buddy over as a wingman to break a little ice with the girls while you head to the bathroom, come out and then come in with your game?
Wait for her friend to walk off, then get her one on one?
Walk over and chat with them both, use a simple (but funny) pickup line, and have your buddy come in as wingman to backup a minute later?
Go straight up and say that she's been driving you crazy for the past half hour and you have to meet her?
What's the play?
And I hope we get some women responding here, too. What would you prefer?

Oh man. If you're interested in a chick, just go talk to her. Don't bother with all that wingman stuff.
I'm going to respect a guy a lot more if he has the cojones to apprach me, rather than setting up an elaborate scheme or getting one of his buddies to break the ice.

I disagree. The schemes aren't elaborate. It's more about timing and approach.
The wingman is sometimes necessary and always revered:

I'd have to say that real glasses are more attractive than beer goggles. think about it.

I'm with Ginger. Cut to the chase and approach her/him. Sending over a wingperson can send mixed messages and complicate things further. What if they become interested in the wingperson? It happens.

tracy-
Good point. I don't condone that kind of excess. And it's best not to read in dim light, too.
Roxie-
Yeah, that does happen. Nobody's getting married here, just starting a conversation on a night out.

Yeah, I know Wingfella, I'm not talking about marriage either. I've been out a few times where it wasn't clear which guy was actually interested in me. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

lol love the youtube piece wingfella.
With Respect to Ginger and Roxie, when the "Scheme" is pulled off correctly, it shouldn't be noticed as such. It should appear as if he just walked up and talked to you. However, if her friend is anything like the one complaining in the youtube bit, a wingman is necessary and he should be compensated with cash, check or alcohol.
