Pick Up Lines That Work - How To Start A Conversation

Some pick up lines are unbecoming, boring and rude.

By Joseph Matthews

Some pick up lines are unbecoming, boring and rude.

How many times have we heard cheesy pick up lines like:

“Are you a parking ticket?  Because you’re a little fine!”

“Your name must be Gillet, because you’re the best a man can get.”

“I lost my number, can I have yours?”

Using a line like these will get you nowhere with a woman fast, chances are she will not even speak to you.

Because pick of lines such as these, which are bad get too much attention, while encouraging others to consider that all pick up lines are worthless.

However, this is not correct.

A good pick up line will actually do what it says - help you pick up a girl!

Understand:  The whole point of using a pick up line is to get a conversation started.

That is all.

After the woman begins talking with you, then you work your magic of getting her to date you, her telephone number and the emotional connection.

If you cannot begin a conversation, you can do little else.

Because you shouldn’t just be talking to a girl.  You should be ENGAGING the girl.  Pulling her into a conversation with you is the only sure-fire way to further your agenda.

Do you know that good pick up lines do just that?

When I first started going out to meet women, I was always at a loss of what to say to first meet a girl.  I was always trying to think of something to say off the top of my head, and more often than not, I’d miss my opportunity to meet a great girl because it took me too long to think something up.

That is why it’s important to know one or two good pick up lines that actually WORK.  Because for those situations where you can’t be original, you need something to help you take action!

But don’t be fooled into thinking you can get away with a line like:

“Don’t I know you from somewhere?”

This is lame pick up line and women know it, this is not a clever pick up line and makes you look bad.

Other unimpressive pick up lines include complimenting a woman on her clothing, asking for directions and telling her she looks like a movie star.

Why do you think this is?

This is because these lines do not engage the woman into a conversation with you, once she answers your question, she may not show interest in conversing with you.

Good pick up lines avoid “yes and no” answers.  They are about getting the girl to think about her response, evoking an emotional reaction, and making her WANT to continue to communicate with you.

So how do you engage a girl?

The easiest way is to ask her opinion about something.  Every woman has strong opinions, and they aren’t afraid to share them!  (Particuarly when they come to relationships!)

Good pick up lines work like this, for example. Say something to the woman, like this, Hi, I need you opinion on something, do you think it is normal for a woman to try to time a pregnancy so that her baby is born within a particular zodiac sign? I would really like to hear the opinion of a woman about this subject.

Then follow up with a short story of how a woman may want her and her children’s zodiac sign to be compatible, so they interact well together throughout their lives.

These various types of subjects for conversation can be about:

1.  Astrology 2.  Children 3.  Pregnancy 4.  Marriage 5.  Relationships

The numerous ideas for conversations are unlimited. Here you will find a few of my favorite follow-ups.

“Do you think there’s something to astrology?” (then lead into more discussion about destiny or fate.)

“What sign are you?” (this leads into your sign compatibility with her - HINT: no matter what her sign is, you’re compatible!)

“Are you fond of children?  You seem very nurturing.”

I could go on, but you should get the idea.

So as you can see, this pick up line is designed to pull the girl into a deep and interesting conversation, and gives you the opportunity to get to know her better and allow her to become familiar with you.

This is how conversations are started!

Once you reach this point, ask for her telephone number and set up your first date.
