pick up line

Post Reply New Topic

So im not into walking up to girls i dont know who i think are cute and say "hi" or ask them their name because 1. i puss out and 2. i feel like its creepy to walk up to a stranger and introduce yourself and or ask them their name.

that being said, the next time i am in an airport or bookstore (sooner than later) my plan will be as follows:

- i spot a fair woman
- i walk to her
- sit down next to her (if she is indeed aseat)
- say "may i tell you about supercroc?"

if she says "no" or even "go away" i will not be nearly as embarrassed as if i were rejected by asking her her name.
if she says "yes":
- i will gladly tell her that it was recently discovered that 110 million years ago there were crocs that grew to about 40 feet long and ate dinosaurs.

by this point i will have not much else to say about supercrocs, but at least the ice will be broken.

i will inform you all as to how this goes.

Hey you do Wing Chun too?

Why not cut to the chase, skip the 'do you want to talk about supercoc?', they might well think it is a crock (of s**t).

Just say 'did you know they recently found recently discovered that 110 million years ago there were crocs that grew to about 40 feet long and ate dinosaurs?'

It is not a chat up line it is just conversation, if they wish to bow out don't take it personally.

what you say doesnt matter as much as How you say it (body posture, confidence, eye contact, smile etc).

dont think about what you're gonna say to much just see how it goes.

respect for trying it, in theory i know what to do but in practice its a whole different story.

The most likely response you're gonna get is a weird look and possibly a "WTF"-style remark. How would you feel if some stranger walks up to you and starts asking you strange irrelevant questions?!

It's very doable. It's all about attitude.
If she goes WTF on you, just look at her, look like you're annoyed with her and say something like:

"Well, excuse me for trying to impress you. You can at least feel a little flattered that somebody wants to talk to you"!*
"Hmmpf"**


* Yeah, I'm just joking, but I dunno, I tcould work.

** Whether "hmmpf" is required for emphasis is debatable but I think it adds a little character.

I'm not impressed. I doubt I'd be if I were a woman on an airport....

But why would you ever hit on somebody in an airport? That's just downright freaky.

To be honest, I have a hard time figure out where and when the prehistoric crocodile followed by the silly response I suggested would be appropriate but the answer is: when it's obvious that you are joking,

me saying a "pick up line"

(btw that telephone number is not my number any more)

don't use "pick up" lines. Just say something like "hi. i saw you and wanted to meet you" or "how's it going" although "hi" is the simplest and easiest thing to say.

Also, girls don't think "oh no. a guy said hi to me. that's creepy!" but they could conceivably say "oh no. a guy said supercroc to me. that's creepy!" but if you wanna talk about supercroc, do it and stop caring what they say in response if that's what you wanna talk about because at least its the real you. don't say it as a pickup line which I think you're doing. .

That's pretty much my opinion as well....

I agree, pick up lines are crap but I think the concept of someone striking up conversations with strangers about supercrocs is too awesome to discourage.

On a serious note though:


You sure?! Just let go like that? Isn't doing things like that the failproof way of getting shunned by everybody, and those who don't, only talk to you out of pity? You have no idea how much time I've spent to get away from such socially devastating behavior, and it's only when you start to keep such crap at a minimum that people respect you.

Nothing wrong with questions.

Can we talk about superscrocs? ->banal and redundant
Do you know that there were these massive 40 ft crocodiles 110 million years ago that ate dinosaurs? ->interesting/exciting

Seriously if they are not that interested, then maybe they just wanted to be alone, or perhaps have never read a book or had any intellectual curiosity, in which case no loss.

What is it about Aspies that forces us to engage in conversations on topics only we ourselves are interested in?!?

that's precisely what i expect to happen.

it's just my weird sense of humor that i get a kick out of doing things like this on occaision. and if it works, hell its a win win situation. if it doesn't, ill still think its funny that i completely altered someone's day by telling them about supercroc.

and to whoever asked if i do Wing Chun, no i don't though i have great respect for it. I honestly thought about it, but i don't want to be a master of none, as they say. i just want to be as good at Hung ga as i possibly kuen. <---haha...im stupid.

Because walking up to someone and saying hi will only get us a restraining order?

no loss regardless. if you never put yourself out there you're never going to meet anyone.
