"(As he walks by) Hey, do you know if there's a good spot to [dance/get some air/charge my phone] around here?"

Asking for help or information is a low-pressure way to start a conversation. It gives him a reason to interact and potentially walk with you to show you.

"(Tap him on the shoulder playfully) Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice you seem to be having a great time. What's got you smiling?"

This is a positive and engaging opener that compliments him and invites him to share his energy. It's a bit bolder but can be very effective if delivered with genuine curiosity.

"(If he's near the bar and waiting for a drink) The line for drinks is insane tonight! What are you having?"

Commiserating about a shared, minor inconvenience can be a great way to bond and start a conversation.

"(Smile and make eye contact, then approach) Hey, I love your [shirt/watch/shoes]! Where did you get it?"

This is a straightforward compliment that's easy to deliver and gives him something specific to talk about. It's a low-risk way to open the door.

"(Walk by, accidentally "bump" into him, then smile) Oh, sorry! This place is [packed/crazy tonight], isn't it?"

A classic and effective way to initiate contact in a crowded environment. It creates an immediate interaction and gives you a shared experience to comment on.

"(Catch his eye and lean in, as if to share a secret) I'm trying to decide what to order. What's your go-to drink here?"

This creates an immediate connection by asking for his opinion and implies a shared experience at the bar. It's an easy question to answer and can lead to more discussion about drinks or the venue.

"(If he's with friends) You guys look like you're having a blast! What's the secret?"

This is a good way to engage a group, making it less direct pressure on one person. It's lighthearted and invites a general response, which can then lead to individual conversations.

"(If there's music playing that you both might enjoy) I love this song! Do you know who sings it? or This beat is amazing, right?"

Common interests are excellent conversation starters. Music in a club is an obvious shared experience.
