I went to a networking event today. I ended up meeting a great guy, we had several hilarious conversations about travel, family, and facebook. He grabbed my card and end of story. Guess I need to go to the next one and see if he is there again, I didn't get his details, even to make a superficial connection.
You guys have any tips for me for the next one?

"You're really a lot of fun! I'd love to talk more with you about _____ or hear about your experiences in __________, are you up for a drink next Friday night?"
More simply - "do you drink? yes? ok, there's this great pub i go to occasionally, care to join me friday night?"
or, at a professional networking event... "i really need to make my rounds and be sure i haven't missed anyone here, how about we continue this conversation in a more casual setting. how's drinks at Sherlock's this Friday?"0 -
oh wait! one more...

You're the woman. In my experience, it's up to the guy to seal the deal. If you were charming and caught his attention, he'll find a way to contact you.0

Great tips everyone. I am good at small talk. Never good at hinting about next steps...... Because unfortunately, I initiate small talk with anyone, interesting or not.
Although, this is probably the best networking group I have ever joined! Lots of good connections and eye candy! :P
Either I'll figure out my business idea or make some new friends.0
