Don't use a pick up line. What's worked for me in the past is the old art of bull shitting. Example: if you're on the subway and a girl is reading a book, pretend that you've read it, or that you've read other stuff by that author. It gets a conversation going and she might be interseted. If she isn't, then shrug it off and move on.

I'm just remembering the time my buddy and I were hanging out at a bar and really attractive girl walked by and he said "You know, the only way I could ever get a girl like that would be to dress in all black and get a bottle of chloroform."
In other news, that same buddy was recently paroled. Now let us never speak of this again.

Pick up lines don't work.
Just talk to the girl. Ask her questions about herself. Girls love to talk about themselves. Make comments about what she talks about to show that you are listening (or at least pretend to listen). It's OKAY to give her compliments, but take it slow and easy, don't smother her with them. Just play it cool.
But anyway here's an old gem just for the lulz:

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.

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.
