First impressions last. What you do and say during those first seconds of meeting a new person would go a long way of how a conversation goes. We often see movies where a guy asks a lady or drops a pickup line and the girl suddenly falls head over him. There is a thin line between fiction and reality, but reality is sometimes stranger than fiction. Don’t fall for books that tell you magic lines that would sweep a girl from her feet. It is more of what we deliver and when we tell it that makes it work. Different strokes for different people, not all clocks tick the same way. A smile can be considered a pick up line just as telling her that she’s just drop dead gorgeous. Knowing yourself and knowing your strong points enhances how you carry over the conversation. Pickup lines work, what you say and who you tell it to gives you a better chance of delivering that killer punch. Pickup lines don’t give you the expected outcome always; it is through practice and experience that gives you that little advantage of making it work. Here are some tips to help you deliver a good pickup line:
Know what to say and when to say it
Let’s say you’re in a singles bar and you spot a hot chick on the opposite end you move towards her and ask her, “Are you waiting for someone?” This line doesn’t work all the time, but given the situation and timing on how you deliver it, it has a greater chance of starting that conversation. Reading a book about pickup lines is just the tip of the iceberg. Sure it could give you some cool lines to deliver but do you know how it should be delivered? Common sense would be a great start; it tells you when it is appropriate and if that girl on the opposite side is just dying to be picked up. Watch her reactions while you’re walking towards her. If she looks cold to begin with, just walk on to something else.
Give lines that will help you carry through with the conversation
Say something imaginative to get a girl‘s attention. Girls are smarter than they look, and if it’s a great looking girl she probably would have heard it all. So what makes you different from all the other guys? Give something different; give her something with an edge. “Are you waiting for someone?” works most of the time. A simple conversation is started but you could be dismissed as easily. “I think I’ve seen you before, do you work at 5th avenue?” Sly and smooth, giving an opening for a conversation and additional information you could follow through with. It’s not just starting the conversation that is the secret to a great pickup line, but also what you say after the initial lines is equally important.
Learn to smile or act serious when the situation asks you to
Non verbal cues or opening lines which need no words to be said are also considered pickup lines. A smile across the table can just be as effective as telling her how great she looks. Offering to open a door is a good way of telling that officemate you exist. It tells her that you notice her and also tells a little bit about your character. Gestures are more powerful than just mere words, and gestures together with words delivered at the most appropriate time is the ultimate combination for sweeping the most unmovable mountain off her feet.
Practice delivering the lines and learn from previous experiences
Pickup lines are a great way of knowing that girl you’ve always wanted to talk to. There are no guarantees, and one pickup line that worked for you before is not necessarily going to work for the next girl. The best way to describe this is playing sports. Improving your batting average requires you to practice that hand a little bit harder and giving practice more of your time. Lines with humor give that approach a little less tension. Pickup lines are not academic studies in school. They aren’t a perfect science or something needing contemplation. It is what works for you and what you feel most comfortable with that is the secret. Having a great pickup line is not a blank check in picking up a girl. What is said after matters. Pickup lines open doors where we could get to know the girl a little bit better.

great read! it's a shame that i'll never put it to use..... =/...... i learned (the hard way, through trail and error) that the lines themselves don't mean nearly as much as your attitude when saying them! how else could i say "FINALLY!!!! a woman who appreciates the art of kissing!" and be almost 6 months into a relationship with an awesome cougar?
