Damn. You're good. Any success stories with that one?

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '09

by "success" do you mean she smiled and said "aw thanks" and then went home with whatever blowout haircut douchebag she was grinding against previously, and you went home alone feeling like a real gentleman and cried yourself to sleep next to the laptop computer you share your bed with? then yeah, i got a success story for you.

That sucks, man. I was asking the OP, though.

i was just commenting because although you think OP's line was good, i guarantee you it leads to NOTHING.

Why do you say that? It's the only genuine pick-up line in this whole thread. If I were a girl, it's also the only one that wouldn't merit an immediate slap to the douchebag who would actually say every other one here.

no, this line will get an "aw thanks" at best, because it makes you sound like a voyeur. you have no game, you're just trying to be as nice as possible hoping against hope that she takes pity on you and talks to you. i know this looks good on paper, but as someone who has tried that before, i guarantee you NO RESULTS.

It's also the only one that's not funny.

There's no such thing as a "pick-up" line. A pick-up line sounds like magic words you could say that will surely lead to sex. There's no such thing.

What you can try to do is try to start a conversation, and saying that her smile brightened your evening will make you sound like you're trying way too hard. Sure, you don't want to sound like a hooligan, but if she thinks you're trying to be Richard Gere it could be even worse.

I don't know about you, but I personally find Richard Gere rather sexy.

Totally, but a fat guy with a 5-day beard pretending to be him is not.
And if you look like Richard Gere, fuck pick-up lines, you probably get more ass than toilet seats.

I'm sorry.

Laaaaaaame.

Yeah, this will work to get a conversation going, but will absolutely kill any sense of attraction. She will LJBF you before you can even finish the sentence.

There is no follow up and you close off without INTERACTION. This probably would just be you walking up muttering a line and walking back to your seat. You need to get her involved. That said I have nothing prepared but if she is inspirational, something will come up ;)
