My Chances At Being Cooler Have Just Risen Significantly, I Think.

So living downtown is awesome.
Okay, not exactly downtown.  But right across the river from downtown, and smack dab in the center of the area where all the young people live.
I had been wondering where they all were, and I found them.  They're residing in the land of bicycles, flannel, bad haircuts, weed, makeshift basement bedrooms, no central heat, tubs that have never been scrubbed, organic food, and about 50 million awesome bars.
It's absolutely beautiful.
I've also been told it's singles-central, and everyone is fucking everyone.  My first thought was "omgsyphilis" but my second was "....you mean I could get laid?"
I still haven't figured out the trick, though.  I'm familiar with "Hey, wanna fuck?" because, you know, I was married.  I've also completely mastered "Hey look, you're cute and I'm making eye contact with you!"  But there must be some step in between that I have yet to understand.
I'm desperate enough that, yes, I will accept advice from the internet if y'all have any.  Things like "when you catch that cute guy's eye at the pizza place, THIS is how you approach him and eventually coax him into bed," maybe.
That would be awesome.  Thanks.
I'll keep you guys posted.
