The thing with honing in on a hipster-type is they are often too cool and too in-the-know for their own good. These types aren’t dazzled by the regular and routine kind-of-gal, so be warned. But if you’re up for a challenge and game for pursuing a hipster, here are go-to tips on how to make him say I do…
Take Him Somewhere He’s Never Been
Beat the hipster at his own game and show him that you too are in-the-know of hidden gems with a great vibe. When initially making plans, tell him when and where to meet you. The hipster guy is used to calling the shots and will be dually impressed with your ability to take charge and show him a spot that has yet to be on his radar.
Test Drive His Spots So You Can Be All “Yeah I go There, Too!”
Social media has made creeping easier than ever. With apps like Foursquare and Facebook that allow users to check in, everyone and their moms seem to be able to track where others are at. Be attuned to where he’s going – hey, people even tag where they’re at in their Facebook image uploads! – and drag a friend to visit said locale with you (at a time when he’s not there, of course). This will help you not only breed familiarity with some of the hot spots he frequents, but will also allow you to create a relationship with bartenders, servers and regulars alike. Dude will be impressed that you’re as like-minded as he. As we all know, like breeds like.
DIY
The hipster thinks he’s ahead of the game, so show him you’re on the same page by keeping him on his toes. Might we suggest making him a knitted cup holder for the seasonally-themed lattes he’ll be sure to be drinking all winter long? Not only is this a sweet touch, but everytime he sips his signature drink, he’ll think of you. Sentiment goes a long way. Another DIY suggestion? Think homemade card or T-shirt. Not only will he be smitten by your effort, but he’ll also feel like you know him and his way of being oh-so-well that you’ll have him wrapped around your unmanicured little fingers.
Invite Him to a Hard to Get Into Event or Show
This one goes without saying. You’ll throw him for a loop and he’ll want to prove to you he too has connections and will want to show you so by repaying the favour, no doubt.
Have a Signature Drink
The hipster is really set in his ways of seeing things and will be kept on his toes by one who doesn’t conform to normality. Create a signature drink of your fave flaves and be sure to order it each and every time you’re around him. He’ll appreciate your flair for being definitive when it comes to the unknown.
