The Pick-Up Artist Blog Post # 4
Studies show that we have approximately 4 minutes in the contact stage to make a good impression. And based on that first impression, many of us make up our minds on whether or not we want to pursue the relationship to the next level or just remain acquaintances.
Share with us your favorite pick-up lines (funny, serious, cheesy, etc). From your own experiences, do they work? What do you think is the best "pick-up" strategy? (Leave a green dangly earring behind? Put your phone number in their phone?) Let's see what you can come up with!

Oh... pick-up lines. There some really funny ones out there. I've experienced some of them personally (HAHA). In many cases, although corny/cheesy, they can be make your day a little bit better due to humor and flattery. None of the pick-up lines I've been told has ever worked... EXCEPT FOR ONE.
ReplyDeleteIt was very obvious, but also very cute. I was at work and my co-worker walked in to clock in, and he said, "Oh, I noticed on the schedule that you were opening. I was going to bring you some tacos, but I realized that I didn't have your number, so I couldn't call you to see what you wanted..." That co-worker is now my boyfriend :D lol I knew exactly what he was doing, but since it was original, I chose to "bite". I smiled and said that I thought that was a very sweet gesture. I also thought to myself, "he could've just called the work phone", but I gave him my number anyways. I knew, then, that I wanted to get to know this guy better.
I, personally, think that the best pick-up strategy is honesty. I think that if you are honest with the person from the very beginning, it makes a good case for yourself.
I've been told/heard the following:
Can I take a picture of you, so I can show Santa just what I want for
Christmas.
Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?
I was blinded by your beauty so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.
I'm sorry, were you talking to me? Her: No. Well then, please start.
I know I dont have a chance, but I just wanted to hear an angel talk.
Roses are red, violets are blue, how would you like it if I came home with you?
Hey I just realized this, but you look alot like my next girlfriend.
Are your legs tired, because you've been running through my mind all day long.
Are you lost? Because heaven's a long way from here.
POOF! (What are u doing?) I'm here, where are your other two wishes?
I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away.
Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy!
ECT...
I have been in a relationship for almost five years now, so I don't remember how to pick anybody up. I met my fiancee in high school, and according to her she fell for my sense of humor. I always try to be real and most importantly just be myself, which I guess worked. Pick up lines were never my thing, but there are some good ones out there. I'd list the ones I like most, but to make it easy I'll just direct you the Sam's comment above ^.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a pick up line, it may work in movies but un real life a pick up line doesn't have the same effect and if you do get a girl with a cheesy pick up line then you should worry about the girl you just got. No one should go for a pick up line. Haha
ReplyDeleteI like pick up lines. I think, for the most part, their cute. Being funny is important to me so if you come up and make me laugh with the first thing you say then yeah, I'd be more willing to get to know you.
ReplyDeleteI know I have had a pick up line used on me, but I can't remember what it was. So, I just looked around the web and found some I like.
I lost my phone number. Could I borrow yours?
Excuse me; can you empty your pockets? I believe you have stolen my heart.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?
I think the best strategy is to just be yourself. Humor is always good. ;]
Cheers
Ahh... Pick up lines where should we start? I went out last week and while I was at the bar, ordering a drink (cliche), an old man said, "excuse me Ms., I just wanted to say thank you." I laughed and he said, "before I saw you, my eyes were itcheen and burneen (spanish accent) but they're better now." Ha ha ah. The pick up line. I don't know if the pick up line works for getting girls but they're nice to hear. Especially if they are tasteful. Sometimes, if it suits his personality, pick up lines could be cute on a guy. Here are some good ones:
ReplyDeleteIs your dad a terrorist? Cause girl You're the Bomb!
Nice shoes, Let's ****.
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
You're eyes are like the ocean, and girl am I lost at sea!
what type of material is this? (she says, I dunno?) That's 100% Boyfriend material!
The most recent pick up line I have heard was from a random girl I met on my way to class last week. Well on my way to class I walked in front of this girl and about 5 seconds later I hear her say, "Do your shoes help your butt look good." My shoes are really weird looking in the back so maybe that's why she asked but I looked back and the girl was cute so we started talking about my shoes and she was really interested on my ass for some reason... Well I thought she was pretty bold for saying something like this and it obviously worked for her because she now has my phone number and saw me on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteWell anyways my point is pick up lines may work depending on the person. I think a good funny or cheesy line is always cute and shows that the person has a good sense of humor. Just talking to a girl is always good too but wheres the fun in that.
Here's a couple of pickup lines to try.
Hi I'm Mr. Right, someone said you were looking for me.
Can I ask you your name because you're the most beautiful woman in here and I at least want to know the name of who I'll be dreaming about tonight.
Hi I was wondering if you could teach me how to kiss.
Hmmm pick up lines...Where to begin. Through out dance competitions especially I've been highly entertained by extremely corny, and funny pick up lines, they were either said to me the guys or girls on my team...
ReplyDeleteTo Peter(Male Lead): Do you give private lessons? Cuz I'm all over you...I mean it.
To Bryan:(girl trips)Boy you've got me fallin for you already....
To Me & other girls: OOooh girl did it hurt, when you fell? Cuz with a face like that you must me an angel.
*Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?
*Do you have a sunburn, or are you always this hot?
*Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Nope, it's just a sparkle.
*I hope there's a fireman around, cause you're smokin'!
*Your so hot when i look at you I get a tan
Sad thing is, I'm the only one, besides Pete who didn't give into them...kinda makes me wonder...hahaha
I've never personally used a pick up line seeing as they're generally cheap and unoriginal, but after reading these i may have to give it a shot. They're good for opening up a flirtatious conversation or making yourself look foolish. i think most people see those who use them as the player type, 'hey whatchoo doin'-ing every other lady that walks by in hopes that one of them won't flip their hair at them. if used tastefully im sure they can hit homeruns, but when im in the right mood, i prefer puns.
ReplyDeleteYou must be from Jamaica. Cuz girl, you Jamaican me cuhrazy!

Pick up lines are so funny. I love how they can make me laugh and basically just break the tension because of course, girls love a great sense of humor. However, sometimes pick up lines can just be creepy or too desperate depending how hard the guy is trying or who he is.
ReplyDeleteI dont quite remember the last time a guy has used a pickup line with me, but I do remember the last time a guy started a conversation by asking who cut my bangs then asking for my number. Like really? Guys can care less who or where I get my my hair cut haha I just thought that was funny.
I think if one reads all these posts they will notice that Pick-up lines are nothing more than a joke. This makes me wonder if they ever worked to begin with. Who was the first clever fellow to make up a pick up line? Their only purpose seems to be to bring humour, and if they didn't mean it in a humorous way then all i can say is I can't believe you thought that would work.
ReplyDeletePickup lines: then & now...
ReplyDeleteTalking with friends turned out to be interesting insight on how today's culture views the old fashioned... "you must be from Tenesse..." lines. First, I think that television and film along with today's media at large have revamped the way our generation will approach the opposite sex. Take a recent classic, "Anchorman" for example. "I mean, Im just putting this out there but... I wanna be on you" is a far cry from the "falling from heaven" game. I don't know if anyone else had the copycat Anchorman crew of guys in high school/college... But I definitely have heard my share of very direct male/female pickup lines thanks to Ron Burgundy & co. Today's people are upfront and vocal! This echoes throughout our music and movies... We wait less and move faster... and faster'!
I honestly can't remember any lines that I may have used. I tend to just roll with the situation and most of what I say I tend to forget by the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteI just try to be funny.
