Pickup Lines - What works, what doesn't?

Do NOT say: I like that dress, but it would look better on my floor.
or ANY variation, a guy said that to me once and I almost slapped him-I should have slapped him. Unless you're talking to someone who is also just looking for a one night stand that line can be very offensive.

1. Sincere compliments
2. If you're good looking, look at her with a seductive look on your face. If you're not good looking, don't do that, it's creepy.
3. Anything funny is a good way to break the ice

Probably the only true "pick-up line" that works, at least in my book, is, "Can I buy you a drink?"

Never ever use the line, "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Because with looks like those, you must be an angel"...

Basically anything you see in the movies doesn't work.

Just ask her normal questions as if you were talking to someone you want to be friends with.

I agree with everyone. Be nice. If you do say some dumb pickup line out of nerves then laugh at yourself and say something like "Oh man I can't believe I said that. That makes me sound like such a jerk" This will let her know that you are just nervous and that you know how bad you sounded. Pick up lines are never a good idea. Compliment her shoes but again try and stay away from creepy.

Don't use the following pick-up lines:

- "Do you have any Irish in you? Want some?"
- "Those pants look great on you but they'd look even better on my floor."

I agree with IreneX.

One other thing--don't compliment girls so much when you first meet them. A bit creepy. Start a good conversation with her, then mention a sincere compliment. NO 'you have great eyes,' she'll think that's sort of canned. Compliment something random, like her freckles or her nose.

Well...
When you meet a girl you don't want to call her hot or sexy.
Just be real with her.
Say hey I'm ____ I saw you over here and you looked like you were having a good time, mind if I joined?
Something like that!

Don't use pick up lines.
Treat a lady as any other person (:

Pick up lines are lame. what you need to do when you start talking to girls is to ask questions. don't ask a question where the only answer is a yes or a no or the convo with be over before you know it. don't focus on her answers to much, what I mean is don't respond to her answer with a story of your own. keep the focus on her and before you know she'll be asking you the questions. and kinda stick with her all night, but not in a creepy way. don't let her see you doing the same thing with another girl. focus on her all night and even if the conversation ends well before the night is over, make sure you see her again before she's gone and ask for the number. of if you want, give her your number and put the ball in her court

"Hey, I just farted over there. Do you mind if I stand here for a minute?"
Just kidding, don't ever say that. I believe most women are smarter than men, and they read guys like magazines. Be honest and make them laugh and feel good. If everything you do is genuine and makes her feel good, she might be your friend (sincerely be hers too, don' t use her. Women *will* see through you if you are fake). Most women are friends with their boyfriends or guys they date first. There is no magic line, just flow naturally, be real and watch her reactions (put yourself in her shoes and think emotionally).

That's a good question. I agree with irenex. just be real.
