Good Openers (aka Pick up lines)

[madeye]

Men and Ladies please by all means share your little ways of getting that person you want to be introduced to in a public setting

My personal favorite was these two ways:

Ask for an opinion about something funny or meaningless.

Or if A girl was in a group with guys i would strike up a convo with a guy about sports or something introduce myself to him and ask him this question "Which one of these girls is your girlfriend so I dont accidentally hit on her, then 90 percent of the time that guy introduces me to his group for me"

The opinion was always the best. Even if i dint get a number or strike up any attraction it always felt comfortable and natural.

"Hi, I’m ******* " works pretty well. I don't think it takes any tricks or lines to start a conversation with a girl.

So if there is a girl in a group of friends mixed with guys you will approach that girl in that group and just tell her your name? that sounds awkward.

The whole just say "Hi" only works when a girl is alone or maybe MAYBE with a girlfriend.

Otherwise you need something else to say or you just wont try.

Of course there are situations where just saying hi will suffice. and well face it there are more situations where it doesn't.

I like to think creativity is not a trick. Thats just me, it helped me get alot of dates. And that creativity sometimes lead to a point where a woman goes "Whats your name". That is a good feeling

I honestly don't believe in pick-up lines. You cannot create something from nothing. She or he needs to want to talk or else everything is doomed from the beginning.
I heard this on YouTube from some guy tafor you. The dirlking about picking up women. Anyway, he pretty much said that you need to give a smile for 20 seconds at the most, look away and go back to what you were doing. Not a normal smile, but the kind that you would have on your face when she or he stripping for you. One that can be taken as a simple hello, but if they have an eye for you as well, can be the perfect reason to start or continue any conversation.
I've been trying this for a few weeks now. I am in no way a player and usually go about a year between dating. But in the last few weeks I have had dates(some have asked for my number first), and now even get free stuff from the lunch lady in the break room.
Sometimes it's not what you say, so much as what you do. "Actions speak louder than words".
Sure us guys like it when we get noticed by women, but have you ever thought that they also like to get noticed by men as well?

Of course this could all be a huge coincidence though(my year is about up). Or I'm just that desirable... yeah right.

Madeye, I am a little confused you showing as a senior member, but you want us ladies to provide you with some "pick-up" lines. And in a different thread you thought that going dutch was how all first dates should be. Hopefully your just trying to help a mate out.
Men if you see a lady you may like you could walk up to her and hand her your business card. "There is something about you that caught my eye, if you would like to do lunch give me a call." you might add, if you need her name at that moment, "can I ask you your first name?"
If she is holding a drink, maybe a cosmo, you could walk up to her and say "I'm sorry for interupting but what exactly is in that drink you have"
And for Madeye, if she's sitting at the bar blocking the peanuts, "Excuse me would you like dinner" lean over grab the bowl of nuts and offer her one then say "So is it your place or mine"?
CL - I'm sorry I just had to do it. wink wink nudge nudge

Just be who you are!

If you have your eyes on a girl - constantly observe to see if she still available - DON'T BE AFRAID THAT SHE MIGHT NOTICE YOU - DO NOT USE ALCOHOL TO GIVE YOU COURAGE - after you think she's available. Walk over and simply say "Hi, how are you" - compliment her - "You look really nice" - "would you mind if I join you?" - she might blow you off - or asking you if you were checking her out - ADMITTED - this will lead you down the road and have a pleasant night!

All being a "senior member" means is that you have a post count greater than a certain number. If it conferred wisdom or denied someone the right to ask questions, I certainly haven't gotten the memo, nor have many others around here.

The only "pick-up lines" I'll respond to are "do you come here often" or some other conversational opener. Although "I wish I were DNA-helicase because I'd like to unzip your jeans" and "I wish I were a derivative so I could lie next to your curve" will get a laugh and some attention merely because they imply some sort of intellect.

Malice. Me? Never. nod nod nudge nudge

I guess my post might of read better: That I could see why he was looking for new openers, afterall how many girls are looking for that second date after having to pay for their share of the first.

As for the only "pick-up lines" I'll respond to are "do you come here often" or some other conversational opener. Although "I wish I were DNA-helicase because I'd like to unzip your jeans" and "I wish I were a derivative so I could lie next to your curve" will get a laugh and some attention merely because they imply some sort of intellect. I think all that would get him from me is a smack across the face for being cheeky.

And I realize your member status goes up with each post, yet I and I bet a lot of other readers take the advice from a senior member than a non senior member. But I am not just a girl, I'm a 47 year old woman who found humor in the fact that this member had these two threads going at the same time. Go ahead be a girl, been there done it.

I'm glad I have your permission to be female; "just a girl" works better across the tongue than "just a generic carrier of two X chromosomes," hence the name. Rest assured I will never chastise you for being a "chik" [sic].

Personally I've never consulted someone's posting status before deciding whether or not to believe what they say. I tend to take advice based on how reasonable it sounds. Post count, after all, can come from a year of sharing knowledge, or a month of the author running his mouth. I understand your point, but it seems rather silly to judge the merit of someone's advice on post count.
