Pick Up Lines That Worked!

Post Reply New Topic

How do we evaluate if a starter works?
If we go by its initial purpose which is to capture the attention of someone you dont know for a while heres the one Ive been using lately:

Want a bite?.(Around here its quite normal to look around at what other people ordered so whenever it happens I use that as a friendly conversation starter regardless of the gender of the other person).

Does it work?
A few months ago I ended up in a karaoke bar with some random people I had met the day before, still unsure how I ended up agreeing but anyhow:
I expected this people to be sitting at a big table, it turned out that everyone was in small groups and I knew no one.
I took a seat next to a guy that I had met the night before who seemed friendly(there was a cute girl next to the empty seat but that wasnt why I took it). We talked for a while about random stuff(whats your favourite movie/what is your occupation...) and eventually the convo died and I got hungry so I ordered something.

When my meal arrived cute girl started looking at the menu trying to figure out what was what(I have this thing for foreigners so Ive learnt where to find them) I offered her/everyone on the table to grab a bite and even though they declined we got talking again and this time it worked much better(she asked me to add her on fb/she asked someone to take a picture of the two of us/we spent a while translating a "love letter" from Spanish into English).
I took it as a coincidence.

Last week I was with another group of people and a new member showed up. She decided to sit next to me and I was waiting for my order to arrive. She introduced herself to the group and that was it.
When my order arrived she looked at it so I asked her if she wanted a bite, she politely declined but we started talking once again.
An hour later conversation had died and she did the opposite thing(she ordered something/asked if I wanted a bite) to see if we could pick up previous conversation.

Its not the best pickup line out there but right now Im not trying to pickup anyone Im just trying to start a conversation and it works quite well for that.

Im unable to approach random strangers but I may start taking the suggestion on all_white´s video soon just to try to get over the fear of approaching people. I know that its not the best one but Im just trying to become more comfortable around new people and I liked the silliness of the approach.

Well it isn't exactly a pickup line per se, but when I asked my girlfriend out last year I mentioned to her a reading I had had done by one of my friends who is a fortuneteller. She told me I would meet someone in the near future, and that someone would become an important part of my life. Guess who I ended up meeting five minutes later.

Anyways, I was (and still am) convinced that she was the "important someone" that was mentioned in the reading. Ironically, when I told her about that she revealed that she is into fortunetelling as well, and in fact she is quite a good cartomancer (one who uses tarot cards for divining). Since then we've shared a close emotional bond with one another. I'm pretty damn sure that she is, for lack of better terms, the One (and no, I did not capitalize that because I am a computer hacker obsessed with The Matrix Trilogy). From what I understand, even though I am her first boyfriend she's quite happy to have me as well. I talked to a mutual friend of ours last night, who has known her longer than she has me, and she mentioned that she had known her since childhood and that she knew that my GF knew that I liked her because she became a lot more upbeat and peppy, and she (the mutual friend) said that ever since I asked her out she's been the happiest her friend has ever seen, and that's saying something since they go way back. Hearing that from someone that knows her has really helped me realize that this - our relationship - is the real deal, it made me really happy to know that she's happy with me by her side.

So you see gentlemen, fortunetelling DOES work... sometimes.

"How's it going?"

It at least gets a girl's attention without thinking you're a jerk.

I found pick-up lines cute and effective for teenagers...thats how I met my wife...LOL
