Pick up lines, I'm trying to pick up some chicks Options

[Morath]

You went wrong when you started referring to women as "chicks" and suggesting that through the use of some pathetic verbal trickery you'd be able to "pick them up."

[13Pittsburgh13]

What I did to get my girl (I'm only 13. Kised her too. Still with her.) was compliment her on something, usually an article of clothing, and we started talking. We became good friends, and two weeks later, I asked her out. This is almost exactly what she said.

"Like, Ohmygosh, yes Jake, yes!"

Ah... Rachel...

And we've been going together ever since. The first time we kissed was June 6th.

Seriously, just compliment her on something, and it could become a conversation starter.


Also, it helped that I was the new kid in school.

My favorite pickup line:

"Now let's not turn this $%&@ into a murder!"

You'd be surprised how often it works.

[Kiss Goodbye]

There are no good pickup lines.

However, making a decent observational comment about the location you're in (NOT how hot she is), usually makes for a decent opener.

Also, drinking games at parties (and sometimes bars) are really easy ice-breakers. Why do you think we all love beer pong and flip cup? It's not because we like drinking beer after a dirty ping-pong ball lands in our cup.


That said, "picking up girls" is a bit of a misnomer. It implies you're tricking them somehow. I prefer to develop a legitimate connection with people. As do most folks I think. A hot girl doesn't seem anywhere near as appealing when you realize just how boring she is.

More useful than pickup lines are good questions that lead to interesting conversation and the building of a connection.

Here's some two leading questions that are pretty much all-purpose and don't seem forced:

"What do you do for fun?" (A good follow up tease if she can't give a decent answer is "Oh wow, I don't know if I can talk to someone who thinks they're boring! I better go." Then start walking off. If she's interested she'll grab you and give you a better response).

Once you've already gotten into a conversation about something more specific from that question, great follow ups (I recommend re-stating one or two words/phrases she used, which demonstrates you're listening)

"What is it about ****** that you like so much?"

"What kept you involved with ****** for so long?"

Tell a funny story about you doing ******* at some point, and end it with, "You got any crazy stories like that?"

A second excellent question to ask:

"How do you know ****** ?" (If you met them through a friend)

Excellent follow-ups to THAT question include:

Tell a funny story about ********, then "Anything hilarious ******* has done around you?"

"He/she is an awesome friend too, and I got to know them by *******. Ever meet anyone that way?"

I recall being at a party in university. Huge affair. Because this was first year, there were a lot people enjoying their first taste of 'freedom' from their parents' homes. (This is a polite way of saying that many of them were drunk and acting like idiots.)

Also in attendance was a girl I had noticed on the first day of classes, a few weeks earlier. She had arrived late for class that first day and turned quite a number of heads. Tonight, however, she was sitting by herself with a look on her face that I was reasonably certain I could decipher.

So I walked up to her and said:

"Ever get the feeling you're surrounded by idiots?"

Then I sat down and we just talked for the next few hours. And....we were married twenty-two months later.

This is a roundabout way of suggesting that you just be yourself.

If you are unable to be yourself, then try to be someone who at least showers regularly. The rest of us will appreciate it.

pick up likes always suck, never work, and make you look cheesy.

Be yourself. Be charming. Girls know that a line is a line.

This cannot possibly work good sir there has to be an angle

[Lamuella]

HAH, IF ONLY

I still dislike those jokes though

the problem is that there was only ever one funny one, and all the rest suck.

"In America, you can always find a party. In the soviet union, The Party can always find you"

the only angle is to be confident and charming.

[kingzog]

the only angle is to be confident and charming.

And sincerity.

Once you can fake that you've got it made.

[Vaal Satori]

"Now let's drink to me and my reflection in your lovely eyes."

"Shall we shag now or shag later?"

"Allow me to introduce... myself!"


None of those will work, but you'll have some interesting stories to tell. My advice would be to let yourself relax and be natural, because the women worth dating will be able to see right through any act and it will turn them off.

Wait, you must be lying! You actually kissed her!?

Impossible. People who play CN have never actually talked to girls.

This. Might be enough to be sigged...

Pick up lines:
"Listen, I have your family and friends as hostages on some godforsaken island in the Pacific, I have a gun in my pocket, and a sniper with your head in it's crosshairs. Will you go out with me?"
Or
"Hello, my name is <insert name here>, what's yours?"
Or
Fake (or get real) sincerity.

Actually now that I think of it, I have never "picked up" a girl. I'm always at least a bit friendly with them first.

[Jormungand]

"In America, you can always find a party. In the soviet union, The Party can always find you"

The ones around listening/watching radio/tv were passable too, but the Party one is definately the best.

I agree again with Lamuella *sigh*

Am I redundant now?

Okay, back on point, I actually feel generous to help out the OP.

If you're still around, answer a simple question: Can you tell me some females (not necessarily those you might be attracted to, sisters, your mother, any girls who are friends, even if they have significant others) that you talk to regularly? There is a point to this that might actually help you LEARN HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS.

Dammit man you don't talk to wimmin! You sex them up, slap them about and what not.

Rent a toddler, makes it look like you have commitment.

Or a puppy. Women are suckers for them, no joke.
