First rule of pick up lines: don’t ever use them. They are tactless, stupid, and never a turn on. They can be used with friends or with girls you never want to date in order to get a laugh, but you will never impress a girl with a pick up line I promise you that. Pick up lines these days are much more subtle and if you are good enough then they won’t even be recognized as pickup lines until after the contact has been made and digits have been handed over. Pick up lines can just be used as a term for “the first thing you say to a gorgeous woman you have never met before”. In the 21st century there are few tips that you can take into consideration to help you get that first date secured.
First of all, approach her with something other than the obvious. Girls love it when a guy can be playful and not take himself too seriously. If you immediately approach a girl and ask her what classes she has, who is in her family, and what her hobbies and interests are, you are going to walk away empty handed. I mean, how boring is that? No creativity in the approach means no creativity in the relationship. First impressions are usually really big with people so you will need to think quickly and have something witty to say that will catch her off guard. Try going up to a girl in the library and asking her where they keep the animals.
Another good tip is to just make sure you confidently approach someone. The longer you stand around nervously looking at the girl you want to approach, the more you are leaning towards creepy. If you see a cute girl then just go all out and approach her right off the bat. The more time you waste sulking around, the less confident you will seem. Also, even if she is gorgeous, pretend like it is no big deal that you two are talking. Act interested but not overly interested and it will keep her wanting more.
