Some of you, SINGLE, guys and gals might be able to use this advice. For me and many others it's long forgotten memories of the days of old. I don't know if any of these tips can help, have fun and good luck and good hunting.

former Army interrogator offers tactical advice that can be used in any bar.
There’s an old saying: You can take the interrogator out of the military, but you will never take the interrogator out of the … interrogator.

Okay, I made that up. But for those who spent a lot of time being lied to about the activities of men with beards and AK-47s wearing ski masks in 130-degree weather, it’s very apt. No matter how long it’s been since we left the service, we in human intelligence have a lot of trouble switching off “interrogator mode,” particularly when dealing with strangers asking questions or when asking questions of strangers. In other words, we see navigating the bar scene as just a way to keep our skills fresh.

Are you insinuating that we are Orangutans SGT Private RallyPoint Member :-)
Interrogators and alligators might have many things in common. Both are very determined. Both have natures which are very hard to change - there are probably as many pet alligators ans there are pet interrogators- that is interrogators you would want to hang out with :-)

I love this!
Very similar techniques are employed in Civil Affairs to build rapport and determine reliability of information. I often find myself lapsing into that when relating to others, much to the chagrin of those who know exactly what I am doing as it happens.
I find it is actually good training. Keeping me sharp for game day.
