The easiest and most legal way to pick up a woman is to take a single, writer friend with you to a bar.

While there, look for the woman you are interested in. Her? Are you sure? Okay then.

Next, tell your writer friend that the woman keeps looking at him when he's not looking. 
"Dude, she is totally in to you!"

Then when your writer friend's confidence is high enough, tell him to chat her up.

Next, let them talk, but keep your ears open. 
As soon as he tells her that he's a writer, introduce yourself and mention that you are a doctor.

This will also work if you pretend to be a lawyer, a plumber, or sanitation worker.
