I use this obvious, unoriginal pickup line first to illustrate that it's not about the words that you use; it's about the energy behind them.  If you don't learn this first, there's no way even the most golden of pickup lines will irresistably woo women. So how do you pull off this line?  Remember, it's not what you're saying but how you're saying it.  When you introduce yourself to someone, do you speak loudly and project your voice?  Do you have a friendly smile that expresses your comfort with social situations?  When you say "Hi, I'm Jim," does the person meeting you believe that you are someone they'll be glad they've met? 2.  The over-the-top:  "Are you tired?  Because you've been running through my mind all day!" These pickup lines are the notoriously-cheesy, the worst of the worst, and make great exercise:  can you make them fun?  Remember the lesson that it's not about the words you're saying.  So what can you say with an overly goofy pickup line? That you're fun.  That you're comfortable with hitting on her and don't care to hide it.  That you have a sense of humor.  This is accomplished with a sly smile - as if holding back your laughter - and good eye contact.  Make it clear you're having fun, not making fun.  If you're making fun of anything, it's the line itself. 3.  The direct line: "You're really cute and I just wanted to meet you." Again:  say these words with no self-confidence and nothing will work in your favor.  Say it with believe in yourself and a genuine attraction to the girl and you might just feel some sparks fly. A line like this communicates all of the right things:  that you're decisive, that you know what you want, and that you're willing to make things happen for yourself.  You can use this if she's with a friend, but be sure not to ignore her friend and turn her into a third wheel. 4.  The indirect line:  "Did you see that fight?" The indirect line is a line that's simply meant to start an interaction with a girl, and not much more.  Depending on how you say it, there's a good chance that you won't necessarily communicate a lot with this kind of line alone. Indirect lines have a number of disadvantages.  It can be too easy to come across as too friendly and too conversational rather than as a potential suitor.  And when a girl knows you want to "pick her up," going in with an indirect opener can sometimes start the interaction further back than it could have. 5.  The easy-to-remember:  "Hi." If all else fails, you can always rely on that old standard, a simple "hello" with a smile.  Granted, unless you get creative you won't always do a whole lot with this "line," but sometimes just getting the courage to approach is enough of a struggle. ]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:11:35 -0500
