Very few can say they are not familiar of what are known as Pick-up lines hence many of us grew up with their use as kids to engage in romantic conversations with girls. They have however become more modern and advanced with time and made to sound less cheesy. They are quite home-grown and have been around for quite some time. The most famous question regarding pick-up lines is 'do they work'? 

 

Pick-up lines are not very effective, but when used properly they can make a girl laugh so hard that you just might have a chance with her. A favorite and one of the most common pickup lines is, “Hey baby, are you an astronomer? … Because you have serious stars in your eyes.” It does sound quite cheesy and definitely won't win you a date but it sure guarantees a laugh.

 

Pick-up lines are commonly regarded as humorous and in some cases ridiculous and are not that likely to get you the girl or guy you lust but can sure assure you a laugh which is I guess a good thing. Good pick-up lines are those that get you much closer to the girl that you are after.

Pick-up Lines: Do They Work?

 

By Masibulela Lunika

A pick-up or chat-up line is basically a conversation opener with an aim of engaging an unacquainted person for romance, or to win a date. An example of a good and quite common one is, “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?!” lol at least that will get her smiling…

 

Let’s just say as long as your words are smooth, you can quite have any woman or girl that you lust for as a dude. In the case of pick-up lines however, advisably… do not depend entirely on them.

 

After conducting a survey, my findings were that a majority of girls agree that pick-up lines are 'corny', 'cheesy' and 'stupid' whilst a few say they find them cute. More than half of guys said they have tried using them and they have worked a few times in their attempts while some in the smaller minority say they find them more ridiculous.

 

Many would agree that the best thing to do is to be you. Ask to see if she wants to go out to lunch to grab something to eat or something! Ask to maybe take her out to a movie or help her out with whatever her current activity is. Give her assistance and make her feel special by being by her side always, I’m not saying get creepy! Please… just let her know you’re there. A generative way for pick-up lines to rather work romantically… For starters, if you wish to be sugary and calm as possible, you can begin by telling her there is something maybe on her face, advisably the cheek, and that you want to get rid of it.

 

She would obviously like to know what that thing is, and you would pretend to get the ‘imagined’ thing off her face. Her question would be "What is it?"

 

You would reply to say: "Beauty", which would get her heart jingling.

 

Now the question that lies is: how do you nail the girl you desire? After engaging in a series of Q & As, it became clear that by connecting the fear inside her. We thought of all the vital signs given by ladies in scenarios as such, and it became clear to say that if girls are playing hard to get, it is actually a good thing, because no matter what, girls love the attention even though you may think they are not interested in you. Many guys in a discussion we had agreed that it helps to recognising the place where you usually see her or where you first met. It is an important factor as you then can work on the different scenarios that you may meet with her and how you can interact with her after. Ladies said it’s all about the confidence the guy shows. Knowing that we don’t all possess that… practicing before having an encounter with her actually works because prepares you and you never know, it just might turn out as you anticipate…

 

“Life is a game; it’s called a confidence game.” What you have every time you glimpse at her is just fear.

 

It is the truth that every guy that is after a girl would kill for a quick fix and all of them hate the wait, but it is again another truth that all girls want to feel special and your constant persistence contributes to that. Many would agree that you shouldn’t come on too strong early. Let the relationship develop at its own pace, coming on too strong early will almost certainly creep her out. Gradually get stronger feelings for her as you go on with the connection together. There is no guarantee you will work out but it is a pleasant start and many ladies can agree that the one that takes his time stands a greater chance.

 

If you do manage to win a first date with her, It would be more than advisable that you get her flowers and pull this message one on an enclosed note within an envelope signed by you: “You should go and stand in front of a mirror and hold up 11 roses, so you would see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.” That would make her go 'awwwww' or 'ncoooh' which is how ladies commonly react to ‘sweet’ things. Also, if you wish to show how much you care about her, add a bit of the following tagline: “If I had a rose for every time I thought of you I'd be walking in a garden forever.” Also, try getting her lingerie as a gift. If you are not ready for that quite yet, just tell her that you simply like her. Believe me: girls go like 'Awww, how cute' when they receive lingerie as a gift. These of course should be used when you get to know her well. Writing a poem is another good way to kick it off, believe me.

 

Well, if you wish to be more contented with this person that you yearn for, I would suggest for you to perhaps obtain one of her social networking addresses at least. The Art of Seduction is a difficult practice to master, but here are a few pointers. Alright, so you don't know this person oh so well, hence her first reaction when you try to add her to a social network list would be, "Who is this?"

 

This is where you begin the magic… with some hint of pick-up. You may say, “It's never easy meeting a complete stranger, especially one as beautiful as you, without being properly introduced. But shall we try anyway?” Then offer your name and say that she has probably seen you... Then, depending on her reaction, you would need to perhaps say that she has probably heard of someone close to you she most likely knows and tell her that person bet that you wouldn't be able to start a conversation with the most beautiful girl on that social network.

 

They say 'practice makes perfect'. You shouldn’t be afraid to start and in time you will get quite good at it.
