And remember, she smiled at him. If he takes that as a cue, I'd say the worst he has to worry about is pepper spray.
Maybe she's baring her teeth instead of smiling?

I should mention that many guys are situated firmly on the latter extreme of the extravert/introvert scale, and that for those individuals (myself included), approaching strangers at a club and repeatedly striking up conversation is a severe drain on one's energy level.

For extreme introverts, instead of firing off with recommendations of immediately interacting with multiple girls in a single night, a more appropriate goal would be to smile and chat with a single girl and hopefully get to know her enough for a phone number exchange.

Going out to a bar is in and of itself an uncommon activity for me, and I am not naturally outgoing unless in a situation where I know that my positive attributes and/or skills are shining through, so perhaps a different location would be more suitable. One in which you are free to enjoy a hobby, such as joining a club in which you will interact with others who you automatically have an activity to share and a subject to bring up and discuss.

For instance, if you were fond of hiking and have fairly extensive experience with it, you could join a hiking club and be assured that most of the individuals in it share that same fondness. You're already sharing an activity by hiking, and you have a subject to talk about - all you have to do is smile, say hello, and roll with it.

Quite simplified by comparison to interacting with complete strangers who may have nothing in common with you whatsoever.
