I nice pair of fluffy dice in your rear view mirror will do it every time! :D

Seriously though. The way I see it, the only time you have something to lose is if you do not approach them and try to spark up some form of conversation be it inteligent or not. Sure, everyone hates rejection but I personally think that by not approaching them you are pretty much already rejecting yourself and that is worse than being rejected by others.

<font color="00cc99">Sorry Melkor, I can't really help you mate. I've actually never had to ask a girl out. They have always asked me. All I can do is give you some advice, be kind and charming and you'll go far! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] </font>

You can ask many others here, but my approach seems to work the best... Simply walk up to the woman of choice and, before she can run grab her leg and begin humping it... LOL!

I used to have a set of those, but my friends were playing Monopoly with them in the back seat and they flew out the window. :(

I would avoid cheesy pick up lines at all costs. They make you look like a loser right off the bat and after hearing as many as you can come up with, a girl may just be tempted to punch you in the face for being an idiot. ;)

Just be yourself [img]smile.gif[/img] Small talk is easy and the friendlier the two of you get, the easier it will be to ask for a date.

Yeah I enjoy watching other guys try bad pickup lines.... It keeps me amused. I personally don't use pickup lines because they sound so dumb. Not that I've ever asked a girl out or anything..

You are at least on the right track by thinking pick up lines are dumb LOL!
You'll do great. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well thats some good news. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I really don't think you actually want to ask out a girl you don't know at all, so it's in your best interest to get to know her properly first: you'll know what you're letting yourself in for, plus it makes asking her out a whole lot easier. You have to worm yourself into a situation in which the asking out seems like a natural progression in whatever relationship you have with the girl.

It's quite easy to find ways of talking to girls you are interested in, so you don't have to worry about making the first move. If you're on your way to class, for example, you can just approach her and ask her something about the lesson. Silly as it may sound, you already have an interaction going - and that means a chance to flirt. It's very simple things that are important here - body language, smile and confidence mainly - just don't overdo anything. This first conversation is crucial - it's your foothold, as it were. Once you've had this first talk with her, just keep thinking up new ways in which you can get chatting again. But again, give her space. If you know there is something you both have in common, bring it up, and make a joke of it. I once did that when I noticed the girl next to me was, like me, left-handed - we got talking about how scissors are an impossibility when you're a lefty, and how society cruelly discriminates against those of the left-handed persuasion ;) Okay, complete nonsense as far as subject matter goes - the topic itself is not important, but the fact that you're talking is.

It's important to laugh with her, and to have fun. Once you have that first laugh together, you'll find that things go so much easier. Once you've had a few talks and things seem to be going alright, you can start thinking of things to do outside of school, college or work (or wherever it is you see each other). You could ask her to the mall for an afternoon, or to go for a walk on the beach. I'd suggest doing at least a few things like this together, as friends, before you think about asking her out. Once you are ready to pose the big question, make sure it's the right time and place. I once asked a girl out while on a walk through a nearby forest - it was quiet, serene and romantic, and it felt right. So if you take that into account too, I can't really see where you could go wrong. Though I am ever an optimist where women are concerned :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, these are just my views on the whole scene, I hope you find it useful. Good luck with however you choose to tackle the situation [img]smile.gif[/img]

You dirty git Johnny lol

Dirty git ? Moi ? :D

I dunno Moni, personally I love a good corny chat up line! But then I tend to go for people who act a bit of a comedian anyway, as long as it's tongue in cheek it can be fun.

Met my current beau at a party while I was away at a conference - we both noticed each other as soon as I walked in the room - he was making a group of people laugh (which is the sort of thing that gets my attention) and he liked the way I looked - eyes met across a crowded room blah blah, so I went over to chat to him. We flirted outrageously for about an hour during which time he used the corniest lines imaginable, took his earring out to show me and then somehow was 'unable' to put it back in so got me to do it for him, the grand finale was 'it gets so lonely in my hotel room...' which made us both crack up laughing and 30 seconds later I was sitting on his lap snogging him... he wasn't so lonely that night ;) and we've been happily dating since.

Ah well, I admit that it wouldn't have that effect on everyone, but then I don't like being 'normal'.

LOL Epona, I do love that story! :D
And I agree, a good corny pick up line can make you laugh and it certainly doesn't always put me off.

Okay Melkor try this. Introduce yourself and strike up a conversation with her. Talk to her several times if she seems pleasant, and then just ask her out. If she says no, don't dwell on it. Just move on to another. And another. And another. And another. And if you finally ask her out, and she says yes, then post it here. Then Johnny, Megabot and I will coach you through your first date.

This is really good advice - lines almost NEVER work, and when they do it's because a girl is taking pity on you. Some of the most conceited losers I knew that *thought* they were the cats a$$ with women used lines - and got laughed at behind their back.

Just be yourself, and be honestly interested in them. Smile a lot - girls like a guy thats relaxed and comfortable - self confident. Joking with them a bit to break the ice is always nice, as well.

As a sidenote, you might try talking to and being nice to all the girls, not just the ones you're interested in - and genuinely don't expect anything back. I think you might be surprised by the change in your social life.

</font>[/QUOTE]Not necessarily true, did you read my post above? Depends on the person using the line. You can laugh 'with' someone about corny stuff you know, it's only if you take yourself too seriously that you end up being laughed 'at'.

And having a laugh together is the best way to build a rapport.

And when you finally summon the courage to ask her out, have in mind what you are going to do. Just in case she asks you "What do you have in mind?" Plan Ahead!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

OK, be nice, avoid pick up lines, chat, laugh, get to know her, and plan ahhead... IS that it?

Yes i think that is the most by now so now is it up to you what to do i think! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Pick up the tab, open the door for her and don't dress like a complete slob. Oh wait. That's advice for the date once you ask her. Sorry about getting too far ahead.
Well don't use Johnny's favorite technique: He cruises the High Schools, telling the girls, "I can buy beer"!

But i won't share it with them, there are limits you know. :D

Absolutely. Unfortunately, far too many guys are *way* too serious when using lines. I'm not above using lines to get a laugh, but I make sure it's clear that I'm joking or trying to break the ice.

I think my dislike of "lines" came from a night at a fair when some little weasel stepped on the back of my shoe, taking it off my foot and using the line "Hey! Don't I know you from somewhere?" when I turned around to see who did it.
I answered him "I don't think so!" as I put my shoe back on and walked away but EVERY corner I turned, there he was, with the same line, over and over again for a few hours until I finally left the fair because his stalking me was scary (I was 15 years old and miles away from home at night) and to keep from punching his little face in which might have gotten me arrested and taken to juvenile for the night.

I guess there are times when the use of lines have been "cute" but for some reason, I've always dubbed guys who use them in an honest attempt to make the pick up as Losers.

What Are You Talking About!? It Worked For Me [img]tongue.gif[/img]

How would you rate Johnny's "I can buy beer" pickup line?
Actually some pickup lines can serve to break the ice and add a little levity. Heck, I still use pickup lines on my wife!! [img]graemlins/lovestory.gif[/img]

And after all these years, do they still work on her?

Depending on how that line is delivered it can serve as either an ice breaker or an ice maker...definitely don't be eyeing a woman up and down when asking! Eye contact is important if you want her to think you found her special, even if what attracted you to her in the first place was just the size of her knockers. ;) :D [img]smile.gif[/img]

Eyecontact is overrated. It's more important to measure up the length of the legs first. :D

You never know Melkor, he might have a point, as horribly disturbing a concept as that might be.

Just try forgetting that she's a (hopefully) hot girl you want to go out with. Just treat her like a friend, minus those rude jokes! ;)
This technique also makes it easier to ask her out. How hard is it to ask one of your friends to go do something?

And what the hell is a "pickup line" anyway??

[ 09-18-2002, 12:36 AM: Message edited by: Megabot ]

Well, if you want them to laugh, you should use real cheesy sentences, like LS says on page 1.
Some other examples:
"Have you got a map, cos I got lost in your eyes."
"I've lost my phonenumber, can I borrow yours?"
*get a coke with some ice first, then take out the ice, and throw it on the ground, saying* "Now the ice is broken"

Really funny, if you ask me, I use them every once in a while :D

Well then you ought to just LOVE me! (Never mind the fact that I am cross-eyed) ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

More or less just scripted speech used to open up a line of conversation between yourself and a woman that you don't know.
See Link's examples above.

For the best examples in town, come to me! :D
